Awesome experience. Spence, our surf instructor was phenomenal with my ten year old. Highly recommend and will definitely come back when my toddlers are older for their first surf lesson.

Spencer was super friendly and a great instructor to the kids on their 1st surfing experience!
Spencer was a very friendly and patient instructor. My boyfriend and I had a lot of fun in his class for our first time surfing in Daytona. 10/10 recommend!
Have had a amazing experience. My surf instructor Spence was fenominal. He is very knowledgeable and constantly worked to make it easier for me to learn. If you want to learn to surf I highly recommend three brothers adventures and I highly recommend Spence as a instructor. The surf shop ( 3 brothers boards ) has a great staff that really helps in anyway they can and the shop is clean and well stocked with anything you need. If you want to learn to surf 3 brothers is the choice.
Loved our first surf lesson so much that we came back for round two a week later! Josh was a fantastic instructor—patient, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience a blast. We saw major progress between the two sessions. Highly recommend booking with him!
Did the surf lessons with Joshua and had an amazing experience. He was so fun and patient with us. Definitely recommend. The surf shop was great and helpful too.
We really enjoyed our small group surf lesson. By the end of the day we were all catching a wave. This was my 60th birthday and had a very memorable time. I plans to do year 61 celebration here as well.
It was our first time trying to surf and the instructor, Spencer, helped alot and explained exactly what we needed to do. Waves were great and it was a nice day. Even when it is a bit hot out, it's great on the water.
This was for my daughter who has been wanting to surf for years. So while in Daytona we decided to book lessons with 3 Brothers and we loved it. My daughter was a fast learner, me on the other hand took a few times before I was able to ride a wave. Overall experience was amazing and we will be back soon.
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.
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!
We were in town for a week in Ormond beach and decided to try surf lessons offered by three brother board, and OMG! My twins had a BLAST!!! They are 19 and had a fantastic time!!! Spence was a great instructor, he was knowledgeable, professional and they had so much fun with him!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this activity for families with kids. Teenagers especially!!! Get them out ON THE WATER!! We will definitely be doing this again!!! BEST PART OF OUR VACATION IN THE DAYTONA AREA!!! Great value for the money! Thanks for a great experience! Xoxox
We had a fantastic time. Spencer does a great job explaining the basics. It was also a good workout to start the day
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
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
I had a great time. Justin is fantastic. Felt like I knew him forever. It was supposed to be 2 hours I think we spent more than that. The weather was perfect and the waves were roaring.
Spence was absolutely amazing! He stayed with us the entire time, making sure we learned how to surf while keeping us safe and having fun. He explained everything in detail, was incredibly patient, and made sure everyone felt comfortable in the water. His encouragement and positive attitude made the whole experience unforgettable. This was worth every single penny. If you’re in Daytona, make sure to book your surf lesson with this company and definitely ask for Spence! You won’t regret it. We can’t wait to come back and do it again!
The lesson was amazing!! The instructor was so kind and great at verbalizing and showing what is needed to get up on a board and surfing! Starting with in shop stuff before out on the water helps a lot- on a balance simulation- and helps lesson aloy of fear if the feeling out on the water! And on my first lesson I was up on the board and surfing!! I really recocomned this to anyone in the area wanting to learn!!
My boys had an incredible time learning to surf with Justin and Spencer!! They had them up on their boards within the first hour of their lesson. The instructors are so fun and positive- they made the whole experience exciting and unforgettable.
Taking my first lesson right before I turn 50 was amazing with your help. All your patience and clear instructions guided me through. Most of all your encouragement pushed me through and what a great memory! I had a blast learning with my daughter and I can’t recommend your lessons enough. Best day ever!
This was on my 30 before 30 bucket list and I absolutely had the best time! My mom & I went & it’s a memory I’ll never forget! Our instructor made it so easy to learn and we could stand up on our first few tries! Will be coming back for more surf lessons in the future
Learning to surf was a "bucket-list" item for my daughter, who we booked the Learn To Surf lesson for. I don't think that it would be possible to have a better experience than we had with Justin and Mike. Justin took the time in the shop to go over some basics and warm up and then we headed out to the water. Justin walked us through a brief history of surfing in Florida (I had no idea!), safety and on-shore coaching before getting out there. Once on the water, Justin took the time not just to assist my daughter to catch her first wave (she did!), but also teach her correct form, how to correct mistakes, and even how to spot good waves. By the end, he was having her pick the waves to go after; which is knowledge that will transfer to the next time we go. Justin and Mike were very supportive and it was clear that their goal was not just to have "catching a wave" be the main event, but truly instructing how to surf, which I really appreciated. Their passion for the sport was apparent. Thanks so much, guys, for a great experience for my daughter (and all of us!).
