My son had a surfing lesson with Mary. She is wonderful, very thorough, thoughtful, best of all my son had a lot of fun. He was able to pop up a couple times. Definitely will take lessons with her again!

As an adult surfing for the first time, I didn’t expect my lesson to be very successful. Mary, however; changed me forever! She was such a great instructor, making sure to teach me the foundation, safety, and the philosophy of surfing. It was a fantastic experience and I wish it could have lasted longer. Thank you Mary!

We’re from Colorado and my daughter somehow caught the surf bug so we caught a flight and headed out to California. Girl in the Curl was highly recommended by folks at the Laguna Cliffs Marriott and we are happy they did! At the end of her two brief lessons my daughter was paddling into waves and catching them by herself! She is still beaming days following her lessons 🤩. 10/10 recommend!
