Even if you don't surf you will love this shop. It is tremendous and filled with a lot of cool surf stuff. I've purchased sunglasses and my wife hats and towels. We are currently researching a surfboard. It can be a bit pricey though. More

Five years ago, I signed up for surf lessons with my 8 year old daughter. Our instructor was an enthusiastic young man who had us standing on the boards and cruising to shore within an hour. Of course, my daughter learned faster--kids usually do--but I got the hang of it! When our hour was over, we opted to keep going.... More

Even if you don't surf, there is something for everyone. This is a great place to visit. Just a word of caution though....they are trying to sell time shares to vacation condos they have built! More

We really like to walk around in that mega store and browse around first to see all they have to sell. Of course everytime we get tempted in buying a few souvenirs. More

I've had surfing lessons on the East Coast and the West coast from multiple schools. Ron Jon Surf School is BY FAR the best! Their instructors are great and will teach you how to surf, not just throw you on some huge board and have you stand up in the white-water. They are great at determining your level and ability...

I highly recommend the Ron Jon surf experience to anyone looking to give surfing a try. Our two instructors, Eric and Claire, were amazing. They worked patiently with my three kids, age 5,9,and 11, and my wife and me. With in the first 5 minutes they had the kids up and surfing! By the end of two hours all three... More

I CAN SURF!!! I had never tried surfing before I took the Craig Carroll Surf Class at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, but I can now proudly say, “I can surf!” The class is held early in the morning, but it was worth getting up for. Our class was very small, only 4 of 10 who signed up actually showed, which allowed... More
