East End Long Beach

I scheduled a surfing lesson with surf 2 live via email about 2 weeks in advance of when I wanted to go out. We interacted only by email and although they offered me a 10am and a 12pm group lesson possibility, every email pushed the (twice as pricey) solo lesson. I chose the 10am group lesson (which they confirmed) and scheduled the rest of my day around it. Around 3:30 on the day before the lesson I emailed them to double check my reservation for the 10am group (threading the email that had asked which I'd like, my decision, and their confirmation our most recent emails). They wrote back that they weren't offering a 10am group and that I could take the 12pm or a private lesson at 10am. Woah...

I purchased the surf lesson coupon from Google Offer last week and decided to book a lesson right afterwards. We met at the east end of Long Beach. There were around 15-16 of us total with 3 instructor. 2 out of the 3 instructors are basically teenagers. They must be in high-school. The instructors did about 5 minutes of land instruction basically told you hot to stand up properly. Nothing special. Nothing worth talking about, all very amateur. Then, they brought us all in the water, all cramped together in a tiny space. We ran into each other every 10 minutes. It was the most dangerous thing ever. The older instructor held one of the student's board by the side and when the wave came that s...

Elliot is amazing. I had a lesson with him on Long Beach on two occasions one private and one group. He also taught my kids how to surf and, at the end of the day, they were standing on the boards. After having two different lessons here in New York, i decided to come to his Surf Resort in Puerto Rico. The food was amazing, and his personal tour and instruction was really unbeatable. if you want to learn to surf, take a lesson with Elliot on Long Beach. If you want to have a surf vacation that's a hoot, stay with Eliot in Puerto Rico. Fly JetBlue from JFK...Book in advance for only $250 straight to Aguadir. Unlike the previous reviewer, i never had an experience where Eliot pushed the privat...

I got up!!! Never surfed a day in my life and had a ball at my lesson today, on what may be the hottest day of the year with tropical storm-sized waves. Elliot is a sweetheart who is super patient and knowledgable. I watched him interact with his campers and was touched by how great he was with the kids. His staff of local, talented surfers are encouraging and hard-working. Brian coached me up and then was able to analyize my stance. All while treading water for over 2 hours. Today was also the last day for his surfing camp this week. These kids were great! They were all able to surf like seasoned veterans. It is exhausting. I need a nap. This was probably the best workout I've gotten all ye...

I had an awesome experience surfing with their instructor, max, great guy and super knowledgeable. He got me standing up on a wave on my second try. By the end of it I was paddling out and standing up on my own. This is a great business and offered an awesome experience. Couldn't be happier
