We had a fantastic surf/skate lesson with Bec! She was patient, kind, and quick to assess our skill level, tailoring the lesson to suit our needs perfectly. Her encouraging feedback was spot-on, and we learned so much in just one session. Bec’s cheerful attitude made the experience not only productive but really enjoyable. We left feeling more confident and excited to keep improving— highly recommend!

Rebecca was a great coach and tailored the session to my ability. Rebecca was great and ill definitely go back next time I’m in the area.

Bec is an awesome teacher! I love the way she encourages people of all ages to learn (or keep learning) to skate. I was tired sitting around at the skate park several hours a day, watching my son on his scooter. So I gave skating a go. Thanks to Bec‘s instructions and simple hacks I feel much more confident on the board and wanna learn more. Can’t wait to go to the skate park again. 🙂  Thanks Bec, you‘re a legend on wheels!
