Ron brought in his friends for a surf lesson.

Of course, Ron teaches how to style while riding a wave.

One wave and 3 surfers.  Normally our instructors need to give a student a push into a wave for them to stand up.

Ron was able to teach his students to catch their own waves within the first hour.

I like these photos of Ron’s feet taken from underwater.

Ron Montanaro teaches unforgettable surf lessons.

Morgan is AWESOME !!!!

During a two hour surf lesson, some people are able to get the basics down so well that they can try more advanced moves on a surfboard.

In this case, two parents went tandem surfing with their children.

All four on one wave.

As they surf closer to the cameraman it is difficult to get them all in the same frame.

Father and son surfing.

Mother and daughter.

Finally, as the sun hid behind a cloud and James hid behind the son >>>

the whole family got a great photo.

Just need a little Photo-shop to hide the instructor.

Such an amazing family surf photo.
