"I came to CSC with very minimal surf experience. After a handful of lessons, and many conversations, I couldn't give higher praise to CSC. My lessons with Dion covered all the foundations of surfing, both in and out of the water. I've learned how to read swells, winds, and weather patterns, which has been extremely helpful. Inside the water, I've learned how to read waves, timing, balance, paddling technique and all the basics I needed to continue practicing between lessons. Dion and CSC are always helpful even after the sessions, helping me find gear, reading material etc. Five stars all around."

-- Erica T.
"My surf retreat with Dion allowed me to make tremendous improvement to my surfing in just 5 days... I returned home with a lot of motivation to progress my surfing and put into practice all that I learned."
-- Katie T.
"I heard your voice MANY times while surfing in Costa Rica. There was one distinct wave where your words guided me... It was like you were right out there too, reminding me, 'You have more time than you think you do...'"
-- Bonnie
"My morning lesson with Dion was radically different and worth every penny... I came away feeling like I'd learned a huge amount from a master instructor who cares passionately about teaching the culture, ethics, techniques, and joy of the sport."
