Richard Schmidt Surf School

Below are some testamonials from previous students. Please drop us a line; we'd love to hear back from you!

Richard,
Just wanted to say thanks again for such a memorable experience for us and especially our boys. I have to admit that before the actual lessons, I had questioned my wife about the value of a two-hour lesson. I didn't think that there was any way they would learn to surf in such a brief session. I was amazed to see them both doing it so naturally after just 30 minutes under your instruction and guidance. Wow! I thought you might appreciate this brief YouTube version of a movie I put together for the memory of that experience. The credits are worth watching at the end.

Thanks again!

I just took a lesson this past weekend with David Schmidt and wanted to thank you and him for such a great time. My friend Christy and I were standing after just 3 attempts and Dave was so helpful and patient that it really made the day enjoyable! I hope to continue with surfing. Thanks for the intro. What an awesome experience! I have already recommended a bunch of my friends to you. Please pass my thanks on to Dave.

Thanks,
Tami

My daughter Lizzie and her friend Jeanine had lessons this week with Mike. We wanted to write to tell you how much we loved the experience and especially Mike. He made it work! I observed another group from another program and they where not EVEN as well prepared as we were. So, I just wanted to say thanks for the great lessons and the well run program and especially thanks to Mike who is a great teacher and human being!

Richard,
Please pass along my thanks and gratitude to your instructors. Everyone that did the lesson had a fantastic time. I watched from the cliff, and was blown away at how many first timers stood up. I think one guy was up within 2 minutes. I'll definitely recommend your school in the future.

Thanks again -- we had a great time!

Richard,
Thanks again for sharing your time and knowledge with me on Saturday. It was a day I will remember for a long time. Maybe you proved that old dogs could be taught new tricks. By the way, I was really impressed with the way you and Mike handled the newcomers. It will be a pleasure to put my sons in your hands someday in the future.

Hi there,
I took my lesson yesterday and just wanted to say that Brian was a fantastic instructor. Encouraging, supportive, patient and incredibly informative. I had a ball and I'm totally inspired.

Thanks so much!
Elizabeth
I just wanted to let you and all the instructors know what a great time my daughter, Kachina and I had taking lessons with you. It was a great experience and one that will stay with us for a long time. Everyone did a great job making us feel comfortable out there and our small success has given us a desire to continue here on the East Coast,
