Not the place for beginner adult lessons. Taken an adult group class with locals in the rockaways and that was at least 10x better. The instructor also got frustrated with me which seems like the one thing a good instructor shouldn’t do

NOTE: A lot of these five star reviews are for the beach, not for Skudin. I second the recommendation to avoid the camp or mixed group sessions if you are an adult and instead go for private lessons. I signed up for a week of camp, which is an adults only group but mixed in with kid groups. The instruction for the adults is non existent. Next to no instruction, on land or out in the water, nobody will tell you what you're doing wrong or how to do it better. The instructor actually didn't even ask our names before getting in the water. The first day there seemed to be a lot of confusion among the instructors. Each day started ~30 min late as well and the single break is poorly timed and not used well (You can teach while people eat a snack!). We practiced pop-ups 2-3 times (no explanation or instructions), had about a 45 second demo of how to stay safe, and that was it. I caught an average of 3 WAVES PER HOUR. It's fine if you already know how to pop up and you just don't have a board or know how to get out there on your own. It would have been a MUCH better use of my money to take that $600 and apply it towards sessions at the wave pool instead. Incredibly disappointing. They do take safety pretty seriously and err on the side of caution so at least I felt like I wasn't in unsafe conditions. But it's not worth $600, not by a long shot.

I visited this location in May of 1991, but I don't know if these are the same proprietors. It was my first trip to the east coast, and being a native Californian, the place was exactly like a surf shop in my home state, except for the accents of the store staff; it took me a couple of seconds to orient myself! :-)

On our trip to Long Island (from Western NY) we decided to sign up our grandson (9 1/2 years old) for surf camp. We were hoping for a good experience (Jacob had never surfed before) and wound up with a great one. So MUCH more than we expected. I was hoping for a few instructors basically keeping tabs on the kids and turns out the students were never more than 5-10 feet from the instructors. Each and every one instructive and supportive. Simply a great experience. We will be back next year

We had a surf lesson yesterday, our instructor was Dan. it was awesome! Dan was careful to go over safety and a few basics before we got in the water. in the water Dan was great at putting us on waves. We both did really well and had tons of fun. Dan gave really good pointers after watching us surf and wipe out haha. The overall operation of the surf school is very organized and all the staff were really nice. A great experience!

Took surf lessons, it was our first time surfing and our instructor was super helpful in showing us the basics. It was a lot of fun, more challenging than we expected, towards the end our instructor convinced us to do one last run and guided us out thru the waves to make it easier to catch a wave. Super friendly, super knowledgable, would def book a lesson again!!

Our oldest child (11 years old) was super hesitant after a previous experience that didn't work for him. They are amazing, professional and awesome. Can't recommend enough!
