- THE BEST SURFER OUT THERE IS
​THE ONE HAVING THE MOST FUN -

​Phil Edwards

My family met Laurel last summer for my husband's birthday. As surfing was on our bucket list, but we did not know if we would like it, we took the beginner class and joined a group in Dewey Beach, DE. Laurel was beyond sweet, very kind and supportive. She gave us a lot of tips and techniques to get up on the boards. Although my husband and I have never surfed before, after some attempts in the water and many falls, we managed to get up a few times and surfed some. The sensation is unbelievable."
