These guys were great! In a class of about eight people they managed to spend some one on one time with all. I caught some waves. I would highly recommend them. They even called the day before to change the time of the lesson to work better with the tide. There were kids in the class that they were great with. Awesome experience.
This was an unforgettable introduction to surfing for me and my family. With an insightful instructor, great surf boards and strong motivation -- both kids were able to ride waves -- and they loved it! We would recommend the Sacred Surf School to anyone, thanks to the professionalism and dedication of Sacred Surf School.

Bound Brook Beach is as remote a beach as there is on the Cape. It is a mile-long trek down a dirt road just to reach the beach. The parking lot is small and intimate, but it does not stop there. The view from atop a 50-foot-tall hill along the beach pathway is a sight to behold. On a clear day, one can see from Provincetown all the way along the north shore of the Cape and out to Plymouth. It is secluded, romantic, and one of the most spectacular gems on Cape Cod.
