What our Students say
Don’t just take our word for it, hear form some of our many satisfied students who’ve experience the joy of surfing with Zack Howard.
Marcus D., 43 — Brooklyn, NY
“From the first wave to the last, Zack delivered a masterclass in surf instruction. I’ve taken lessons before, but nothing compares to the level of detail and encouragement he brings. He broke everything down with pro-level insight and still kept it fun. If you want to go from ‘I think I can’ to ‘I KNOW I can,’ Zack’s your guy.”
Olivia R., 27 — Austin, TX
“I’ve never even touched a surfboard before flying out to Cali, but Zack made it feel like I belonged in the ocean. His energy is infectious, his coaching is sharp, and I stood up on my board within the first hour! By the end of the session, I felt like I could ride anything. Zack is the real deal — passionate, patient, and totally stoked to see you succeed.”
Jamie K., 19 — Portland, OR
“Zack’s lessons are seriously life-changing. I thought surfing was just for pros and movie stars, but he proved it’s for anyone with the right attitude. His tips clicked instantly, and he’s super chill but totally on point. I left feeling confident, sore (in the best way), and completely addicted to surfing. 10/10 recommend!”
Carol M., 61 — Sarasota, FL
“Learning to surf has been on my bucket list forever, and Zack made that dream come true. He treated me with total respect and patience, never making me feel out of place or too old. His encouragement gave me the courage to try, and eventually ride, waves I never thought I could. This was more than a lesson — it was empowerment on water.”
