Just thought I would send a huge thank you from all of us!!

I had an amazing time and could not have asked for better surf instructors; you all really know how to make a person feel comfortable!! I appreciate your patience, help, hospitality, customer service, photography, and especially your down to earth personalities.

I will recommend you to all my friends and I wish much success for your business. Who knows you may be seeing me back sooner than you think!!

Thank you for the rash guard; I am going to wear it around the house so I don't forget about my amazing surf "adventure". Happy surfing and thank you for one of the most memorable mini-trips I have experienced."
– Michele

"Thank you so much for making our first surfing experience memorable. From the time we searched for a surf instruction business on the internet to the moment we said goodbye, we received exceptional customer service.

Both of you are amazing women, incredible surfers and great instructors. We attribute our pseudo-success at surfing to your great talents. We are already planning our next surfing trip(s) and hope that both of you can be a part of it." – Liana Thompson


"I just wanted to thank you for the awesome weekend. I had a great time, learned a lot, and can't wait to show off for my friends this weekend in Texas.

The camp was even more than I had hoped for, you guys were beyond friendly, I was floored when you invited us to your beach fire. I feel totally cool now when I recognize people in the pictures on the website.

Thank you so much for the good-bye bags, this is definitely the prettiest rash guard I've ever had."
– Laura


"My friend Sarah and I took a lesson with you two this past Sunday afternoon. Rebecca took some pics for me on my camera as we left the beach - Thanks guys. The lesson was great - we both had a ton of fun. Always a good time to get us land-locked Colorado kids in the water."
– Matt


"Thanks so much for the great adventure you gave our kids. You were so supportive and such a kind and great teacher.

Both of our children had surfing as one of their highlights of our stay at Cannon Beach. I'm so glad we choose to have them take lessons with you.

We will recommend you to all of our friends, it's a great way to spend time at the beach!"
– Bruce & Sherri


"Thanks again for the wonderful lesson you gave me on June 11th. You are such an awesome instructor. You made this experience very fun. If I come across anyone needing lessons I will be sure to refer them to OSA. You ROCK. Maybe see ya surfing someday."
– Shawn Hodson
