  • "Cameron was very personable, super nice, and knowledgeable. His cues and advice were perfect. The area we used was a perfect bunny hill for learning to wing foil."

  • "Cameron was great. He took his time with all of us and did his best to help our misfit group. Lots of fun. Lots of laughs. Will be back to continue the journey!"

    — Shaun B.

  • "Cam and River were absolutely fantastic with my six grandkids during their three-day adventure together! They introduced the kids to “wind surfing” with a water wing, paddle boarding, and fishing—and the kids loved every minute of it. Fishing was the clear favorite! Cam and River were energetic, engaging, and wonderfully patient. Their enthusiasm and connection with the kids made the experience truly memorable. Highly recommend!"

    — Becky L.

  • "Cameron is Awesome!!! My son had a blast learning from him. He is looking forward to future lessons. Price is reasonable and very transparent on his website. He was on time and ready to go when we showed up. Teaches all basics and safety up front, starts off slow to make sure you have it and understand everything before getting into the big stuff. 10 out of 10 highly recommended!"

    — B. Suthoff

  • "My three year old had a blast during his first session with Cameron, and he hasn't stopped talking about it. He got to try winging, windsurfing, surfing, bodyboarding all in one day. When Lex needed a break, Cameron took him to the grassy area and taught him about the birds nesting in the mud. Cameron was very patient with my son as he asked questions or jumped off the board instead of trying to balance. I can't wait for the next lesson. Thank you so much!"

    — Lindy L.

  • "Cameron and his staff are excellent teachers. Very patient and encouraging. Our scouts had a wonderful time."
