Matt, I just got back from a weeklong surf trip in Cardon, Mexico. We had a sweet point break with lefts peeling 150 yards and longer. I caught so many great waves. I wanted to thank you for all your help in getting me ready for this trip. Your program was fantastic, and all the other tips (type of sunscreen to use, how to read Surfline, bring extra leashes, etc) was invaluable. Thanks again. Nicholas M. Bock Senior Vice President Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC Hi Matt, Thanks for the lessons.  I think I've found a challenging new hobby.  I'll definitely try getting down to Doheny and see how it goes.  I'll get the reps in and go from there.   Please thank Sarah, Parker, and Kyle again for me. They were very helpful in getting me up to speed, and patient with me.  They are great instructors.  Courtney On Wed, May 18, 2011 at 10:17 AM, <surf@newportsurfschool.com> wrote: Hi Courtney, Just keep on working on the timing pop up, You'll get it as You practice. Be sure to get down to Doheny, it's the best beginner wave in the county. It picks up a south swell and this weekend should be good. It was a pleasure getting You totally dialed in and that You stepped up and got new killer equipment. Thanks again & Keep Surfing, Matt Hi Matt, Had a great time on the water today thanks to you and your methods of  teaching..............you da man! I'm stoked to say the least and can't  wait to get back out. If I already had a board, I would be going  tomorrow..........oh well, I can wait another week or so.....I hope. My  son was at the Point this morning and said it was sweet!! Gotta  go..........just wanted to say thanks for the quality start and I look  forward to more of your knowledgeable lessons.

Attachments: Matt,   I forwarded your e-mail to Russ as well.   I had a great time with you and learned a lot in a short amount of time.  I feel more confident in the water that I have an idea of what I should be doing and where I should be.  Great lessons on body placements on the board for any situation in the water.....scoot back then lay down (it works!).   I appreciate that this sport has a long learning curve vs. others such as snowboarding.  I'll keep working the pop-ups, paddle strength and pivot turns.  See you in the water!   Thanks again,   Scott Heck   From: Matt Binswanger Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2012 7:38 PM Subject: Lessons! Hey Scott-Russ, It was a pleasure to teach/hang out/surf with You Guy's through the Curriculum. It is also a real great experience when clients step up and buy the correct equipment getting all geared up too correctly! We should definitely go on the road trip south for an advanced session in the near future. Call me when ready or if You Guy's don't I would like to see You again just to get together for dinner/coffee some time. I'm sure I'll see You too in the water. Thanks again & Keep Surfing, Matt  From:   John Erck          [ add to contacts ]  To:  surf@newportsurfschool Hey Matt, Thanks for the lessons! We had a blast and are stoked that we're all setup to catch waves. My surf rack gets installed tomorrow... then it's really game on (road trips, etc)!! See you around!

It's always a pleasure when people like You do it the right way not back peddling either.  Have a wonderful surfing life and see You out in the water, Ma Matt, This is a great pic.  thanks so much.   I attached a few pics for you as well.   We'll definitely connect again before our next trip.  Penelope is already excited looking at surfboards at Jack's!   A big thanks again to you and Anise for the excellent teaching.  I recommended your school already to a very interested mom.  I let her know about your minimum curriculum. By the way, I never thanked you and Anise for an excellent job at distracting Penelope from the injured surfer on the beach last Friday.    I saw your actions and was very impressed.   Have a great rest of the summer.  Lisa From: surf@newportsurfschool.com To: lisacards@msn.com Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2011 17:15:39 +0000 Subject: Lessons Hi Lisa, Attached is a very cute pic of Penelope & Anise posed together before hitting the water. I didn't get a hot shot of her dropping into a set wave but You may have taken a couple of shots of Her on the wave riding some insides. It was a pleasure to hang out and teach Penelope the basics this week and my hope is that She will come back and continue and get geared up since She is going to be a surfer!!! When ready get her set up with the "Curriculum" so I can advance Her in a very short time frame. She'll be totally stoked, I guarantee it!  See You next time, Matt  From:   tim ziesmer          [ add to contacts ]  To:  surf@newportsurfschool.com  Cc:  Date:  Monday, September 20, 2010 05:47 pm  Subject:  Re: surf lesson 4 Matt, Thank you so much for most excellent lessons, I know what to do now and can do it (sometimes, I know I need way more practice).   I made a wise choice to learn from probably the best.  I'll most likely ask for another lesson when I'm ready.   Please tell Teddy thanks for me, he's great.  And extra thanks for taking me to Jack's for the wetsuit, it is right.

You and your guys were awesome. -Bob Koontz Matt, Our group had a great time attending your surf school and having the opportunity to learn some basic steps to surfing.  Being from Minnesota this was the first time my children had seen the ocean much less experienced surfing.  They all thought it was fun and your program helped them to succeed and become confident in their abilities.  We appreciated you having two instructors available and splitting the group up between the younger cousins and older cousins.  Thanks again and if we are in Newport again we will certainly give you a call. -Amber Smith, Plymouth, MN Thanks for all your help with the lessons and being patient.  I know it's a struggle.  I haven't bought a board yet but I still have my measurements.  Mark is already considering our next trip to be a surf trip.  Hey maybe we will do Bali!
