We paid $100/a piece for two people to have 2 and a half hours of private surfing lessons with board and wetsuit rental included. You first go to the shop and get you equipment- they help you tie the boards to the roof of your car and size you for wetsuits, booties, gloves. The guys at the shop (including the... More

I had a great day of surfing and taking a lesson with Jules and her trainee Hayley. It was a one on one lesson and Jules is extremely knowledgeable about the water and about surfing in general. I had only been surfing once before in much different conditions. I showed up at the shop in the morning and there was... More

Loved the way the huge waves rolled right onto the beach, throwing sand dollars at our feet. Saw a few guys in wet suits carrying their boards and evidently having a great time. The colors of this beach at sunrise and sunset are magnificent. More

Great beach, lots of walking and lots of places to build those famous sandcastles they celebrate here. But just not the place to surf. Oswald State park and few other small beach are much better. Bring your wet suit. More

This has to be one of the strangest reviews of our shop! The writer of the review clearly has limited knowledge of our area and surfing, and has not been in our shop! To clarify, we do give recommendations to customers that visit our shop as to where they might go on a particular day, based on conditions and their... More

I contacted Cannon Beach Surf on a whim because I'd wanted to learn to surf my entire life. I'm 40, totally unathletic, and had never even seen a wetsuit. Mark, Jules, and the rest of the staff made me feel totally welcome. If there had been even a trace of attitude, I would have crawled under a rock and never... More

I stopped into check out some suits for my young daughters (both <8) as well as a possible new board. We were met with an air of indifference and left to fend for ourselves; all the while two people held up the counter while engaging with a local and the third (owner possibly) paced around a bit looking surly, only...

KDGordo- I am sorry to hear about your poor experience at my shop in Cannon Beach. We have been fortunate to experience a great summer here on the North Oregon Coast and perhaps from time to time we get a little too busy in the shop. I appreciate your comments and will use them while further training my knowledgeable staff... More

We had some good experiences renting boards early and really enjoyed surfing with their foam boards. The owner was very nice to us and made us feel welcome. However, on our last attempt we were treated with far less respect by his staff members. We were verbally attacked after some poor communication between the smug staff members. The majority of...
