Spencer made this a wonderful experience for our granddaughter!!!
Booked another lesson at Three Brothers during our latest trip to Daytona, and it did not disappoint. Conditions were choppier than last time, but the Spencer, the instructors clearly knew how to work with whatever the ocean gave him. Spencer was fantastic, patient, encouraging, and really good at reading how to adjust the lesson on the fly given the rockier surf. We’re in the Daytona area a few times a year and Three Brothers has officially become our go-to. I haven't surfed in nearly 20+ yrs and while the lesson wasn't for me he encouraged me to give it a go and took me out to catch a few waves. Already planning to book with them again next time we’re in town for surf lessons as well as any of the other activities I learned they are involved in. Highly recommend if you want a crew that’s genuinely top notch!
Absolutely fantastic experience. My surf instructor Spence was super patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging the whole time! He broke everything down so clearly and made me feel comfortable in the water right away. I actually stood up on the board way faster than I expected because of his guidance. He was super supportive, really attentive, and made the whole lesson fun and stress-free. Honestly a 10 out of 10. I’d recommend him to anyone.
Thank you for your thoughtful review. We're delighted to hear you had such a positive surfing experience with Spence. His patience, encouragement, and ability to break down each step are what make him such a great instructor, especially for those learning to surf for the first time. It's wonderful to hear you were standing up on the board so quickly and felt confident throughout your lesson. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to the beach for another lesson the next time you're in the area!
We can’t say enough good things about our experience at Three Brothers! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and their easygoing, candid nature immediately put my son Barrett at ease — any pre-lesson nerves melted away within minutes. Barrett’s instructor, Spenser, was simply amazing. He was relatable, warm, and built an instant connection with Barrett, earning his trust almost immediately. Thanks to Spenser’s encouragement, Barrett caught his very first wave on his first try! Spenser’s genuine excitement and enthusiasm made the moment even more special and gave Barrett a huge confidence boost. Since the lesson, Barrett hasn’t stopped talking about it, he’s already asking when he can go again, whether we can buy him a surfboard, and where he might be able to surf back home in Illinois! Lol We also want to give a huge shoutout to Mike, the photographer included with the lesson. He was there the entire time and didn’t miss a single moment, the photos and videos he captured were incredible, and that was even before he headed back to edit them further. This was a truly special morning for our family, and we couldn’t recommend Three Brothers more highly. Ask for Spenser and Mike, you won’t be disappointed!
Thank you so much for your incredible review! We're truly honored to have been part of such a special experience for your family. It means so much to hear that our team helped Barrett feel comfortable from the moment you arrived and that Spenser made his very first surfing experience such a memorable one. Watching someone catch their first wave is always exciting, and we're thrilled Barrett left with so much confidence and excitement for the sport. We'll also be sure to share your kind words with Mike—he does a fantastic job capturing those unforgettable moments so families can relive them for years to come. Thank you for your heartfelt recommendation. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome your family back for another unforgettable adventure on the water soon!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you had a fantastic time during your surf lesson with Spencer. It's great to know he did such a great job explaining the basics and helping you get comfortable out on the waves. Surfing is definitely a fun workout, and what better way to start the day than with a morning surf lesson! We truly appreciate your review and hope to welcome you back for another day on the waves soon!
Three Brothers is the best and I would only recommend them for any tour or surf lessons!! This was the best and most helpful surf lesson I have ever had!! Before they take you out the lesson starts at their store location to put you on a surf simulator. This helps them and you get to know your comfort, balance, and give you a feel for what it will be like on a wave. Justin came in on his day off since there was only one day that I would be able to take my lesson. For an owner to do that shows how much he cares about sharing his knowledge to people who want to learn. He taught me how to spot the waves, helped me learn how to paddle, fixed my popup technique, taught me about safety in the currents, taught me what board would work well for me and so much more. I was catching waves and popping up in on my own by that day. While we waited for the waves, I got to know a lot about the area, The Three Brothers business, and all the amazing tours they provide. I will be coming back to experience. all the different tours they provide. They have so much knowledge and are such wonderful fun people too!! THREE BROTHERS IS THE BEST PLACE TO GO TO FOR YOUR SURFING, PADDLE BOARDING AND TOURS!!! Dawn Weber
Weber! Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Dawn! We're glad you had such a fun and relaxing experience and enjoyed your guide's knowledge and laid-back approach. Exploring the small island and seeing all of the fiddler crabs sounds like a memorable part of the adventure! While the other wildlife didn't make an appearance that day, we're happy you still enjoyed the many birds, beautiful surroundings, and simply being out on the water. We truly appreciate your review and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Our son Alfie had a fantastic morning with Justin and Josh on his surf lesson, and was very quickly standing and 'riding the waves'. From the get go Justin was chatty and engaging with Alfie putting him at ease and he had the best morning. We were so impressed with Three Brothers that we have booked a kayaking tour at Silver Springs with them for the end of the week. The staff in the shop were just as helpful and friendly when we went in to book. 5 out of 5 company for us.

I came to FL from MN to visit my folks. On the last day of the trip, I did a surfing lesson. No contest, it was the highlight of the vacation! Spenc was my instructor, and he was super personable and friendly. He’s a great instructor too, as he was able to get me standing on a surfboard within the hour! I’m DEFINITELY going here again when I come back to refresh my surfing skills! Next time, I’ll be standing up within minutes! - Nat
