Summer Sessions Surf Shop

Ty, Ry and the crew at SS are an awesome group of human beings. My son attended two sessions of surf camp and loved it each time… his only complaint is that he wishes it were longer. The instructors give kids such confidence to get out in the ocean and ride the waves. Noah is already looking forward to next summer

Luv them. Great atmosphere. Have used them for kids surf camps & individual surf lessons. Always a great experience! This ur we had Noah. Great instructor. Store has good selection of everything you need for the beach/​surfing. Check it out!

My girls LOVED SS kids surf camp! The instructors were friendly, fun, and helpful. They took a number of private lessons last summer and couldn’t wait to join kids camp this year. It lived up to their expectations and they are already excited about doing it again next summer. In fact, on the last day of camp the first thing they asked me was «can we do it again next year?!» I also took a lesson with my girls this summer and I was very impressed with the instructor’s professionalism and expertise. They do a great job breaking down the steps and providing feedback during the lesson.

It doesn’t get better than this. Absolutely everyone at Summer Sessions is friendly and so good to the kids. They make EVERY kid feel special and they all learn to surf. My son has been doing 3 – 4 session every year of surf camp and asks to do more each time. I can’t recommend summer sessions enough.

For the past 3 summers, either one, or both of my children have participated in the surf camp. This is a fantastic camp with fun, energetic, and personable staff! We have been pleased with what they learn over the week, and they have completley enjoyed it.

Rip it people… this place rocks. Superb breakfast and coffee and amazing drug culture clothing and accessories… owners are superb people.

Great customer service. Exceeds expectation. One Stop Shopping for all your surfing and beach needs. If you need advice or just have questions on the surf or what you want to ride, the McGill brothers will listen intently and then lead you along a great tour of options. You won’t get confused by the details, just stoked to get out and try the surf.

On a beautiful New England beach, I agreed to surf — for the first time — for a friend’s bachelorette party. We were an unruly albeit slightly timid bunch of novices. The instructors were fun, passionate and most importantly, safety conscious. They didn’t make us feel quite as silly as we undoubtedly were. But they did play along.
Some of us were standing by the end of the affordable $ 40/​person hour-​long lesson. Others (like myself) were content to paddle and enjoy the water. I had so much fun and would definitely do it again… baby steps.
None of us purchased boards but we did buy some hip tanks that we wore out for our after-​surfing drinks.

I am a new surfer and everyone in the shop was helpful and gave their honest opinion even if the opinions varied slightly. I also took a lesson with my new board and it was great. The owners and staff are very friendly and even let me know when the surf was not so great. I really apreciate the honesty, since I have two young kids and I have to find a sitter or bargin with my wife to stay home with them. Thanks.

Summer Sessions is great! My wife, my friend, and I took a beginners surf lesson from Cam in in April and we all had a blast. Cam was great in the water, gave a lot of useful tips and had a positive attitude throughout the lesson. Everybody at the shop is super helpful and supportive even though we were not experienced surfers. I liked the lesson so much that I have now taken my sister and I have rented equipment from the store on several occasions. All of the prices are quite reasonable and they have a lot of clothing, equipment, and accessories to make almost anybody happy. I would recommend this shop to anybody in the New England area who wants to try out surfing.

I don’t surf but I have a super rad shirt from this shop. So does my man-​toy, he looks amazing in his «Live Free or Die» tank. My inability to surf has nothing to do with this shop, it has to do with my feelings toward the ocean. I’m a pool gal, or Caribbean gal. However, I have been known to stand on a long board in the safety of a lagoon but I digress. The owner was very helpful and passionate. It’s refreshing to see people who care so much about their shop.
Support local!

Summer Sessions has been my go to surf shop for years since they were in their old store. Currently loving my new SS gear that my cousin got me for Christmas. SS shirts, sweats, and a winter beanie. The staff has always been super helpful each time I’ve been. Best place on the beach to grab your gear and go. Looking forward to hitting up the shop on my next trip to the coast!

You can’t beat the location — it’s across from at Jenness Beach which is a great spot for beginners to learn to surf. I’ve visited Summer Sessions on two occasions and was disappointed twice. Both times, I arrived at the shop shortly after opening hours only to have to wait 30 – 35 minutes with 3 – 4 other customers for the manager to «check out the surf.» The rental equipment was acceptable, but the service, definitely not.

Summer Sessions is fantastic! As the previous reviewer mentioned the employees are a good combo of laid-​back and professional. My friends and I scheduled a lesson and the instructors were ready right on time. They didn’t seem bored at having to deal with a bunch of beginners. We were all fitted for wetsuits and practiced some of the motions on sand before heading into the water. I can’t swim and was super nervous but the instructors put me at ease and I had a great time, even though (as I’d suspected) surfing isn’t really my thing. My girlfriend loved the lesson so much that she took a second lesson a few weeks later and has come to love surfing so much that she has since bought her own board and goes every weekend. She credits the great experience we had at Summer Sessions with sparking her love of surfing. Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that everyone who works at Surf Sessions is freakishly good looking. ;) If you visit Surf Sessions during the height of summer be prepared to park on the street as far as a mile away. This area is packed much of the time during the summer.
