six days won’t be enough time for someone to improve who is so helpless that they need to drop 2k in order to surf the north shore. they’ll be burnt out after the first day. what if the waves suck during that week? what if the only people who are willing to pay can barely surf? how are kooks, who should be going to hans or sunset surrat, going to catch a wave at rockys? it seems more likely they’ll be dragged by the current down to turkey bay, ran over by cheese burger, and/or washed into the rocks.

sounds like the glass in your life is Half-empty more than it is half-full. I think Pancho and Myles know enough to keep people from getting hurt. Now no one can guaranty surf but they probably have some other training you can do that will help you improve your surfing skills. Matt don’t be such a pessimist.

im being practical, aaron. anyone who grew up surfing and doing junior lifeguards around here knows enough to keep people from getting hurt most of the time. but come on. this is the north shore. if youre paying that much money, youre going to expect to surf WNW rockies with 40 guys out, or 6 foot pipe, or 10 foot sunset — not 2-3 foot pupukea — and if pancho or myles tells you you cant paddle out cause it’s obviously more of a danger (and liability) than fun session for you, youre probably going to feel like youre not getting your moneys worth.

My friend (Matt)
i agree that you need a lot of money to meet these people and be trained by them. But you do not measure surfing with the financial turnover i am afraid. These people are locals and also are profecionals. They seem also rally possitive personalities too.
I am coming from Greece (Europe) where we suck as surfers and we just started it(10years history).
I will visit them on Sept.and i am really excited to learn as much as possible.We must always stay positive in life.
