Dane and his staff are great instructors and great guides to the area. Visiting his beach house is an awesome way to experience this part of the world. He took care of everything including dropping me off on a scenic oceanside trail after the lesson. Would love to go again someday!

Ines

Perfect first time surfing experience. Both Dane and Mr. S gave great advice, showed us confidence in their field and most importantly, made us feel safe with fun included! Recommend for anyone, everyone! Get out of the city, and enjoy this lovely experience!

This was definitely an incredible experience. Dane is a great guy and easy to talk to. He and Sagawa were very attentive when it came to having us surf on our own. They also made every effort to find a safe spot for us to learn in. Surfing is definitely something that you can't pick up the first try, but they definitely encouraged you to try after every fall. This is something that I will take and continue to surf every chance I get. I highly recommend doing this experience!

Learning how to surf at the coast of Japan with Dane and his friend were amazing and a one in a life time experience. They explained every step on the way and helps us be comfortable with the waves and the board. The group was very small what made it a lot easier to learn. Also the area around is just beautiful and worth a trip. I would recommend it to everybody who wants to catch their first waves! Thanks Dane!

Four words: it was a blast!! It was our first time surfing and we loved it! Go there, I can only warmly recommend! We also stayed at Danes place for a night which was wonderful. Dane is an amazing host who does everything to make you feel comfortable. For us it was the perfect combination: surfing during the day, aqua palace at the evening and best ramen ever for dinner and then comfy and fluffy bed to sleep in. Loved it. Thanks to Dane and his wife who made this experience unforgettable. And: Rock'n'Roll baby!!

Dane was amazing! We were late to traveling to the area but Dane was able to point us to an alternative route. He also gave us a quick tour and history lesson about the area. Surfing was great and the lessons were awesome. He also takes photos and videos of your time there so you come out with a lot. Thanks a lot and definitely would try again!

Enjoyed this trip very much. Coming from Tokyo, it was a breath of fresh air - Katsuura is a beautiful place to walk. You can follow the coastline, see ships being built, see a quiet village life. Dane is lively and big hearted, full of encouragement and enthusiasm. His surfing outpost is a remarkable place and I recommend the visit and his teaching.
