I used RJ and SideSlip for my children for private lessons. They were amazing. The second day I asked if my nephew could join and they could not have been more accommodating. It made my kids vacation. The crew kept it safe and fun. My son even bought his own board and has been using it since!

Pamela Brinkman2023-08-28My son participated in skimboard camp this summer. It was an amazing experience because of RJ. He is knowledgeable, skilled, a wonderful teacher, kind, patient, and a great role model. Can’t wait for next year!
Luke Febrizio2022-09-09I had a great experience taking my first skimboarding lesson with RJ! I would definitely recommend. It was a great opportunity to try the sport out for the first time and start learning the basics. They definitely knows what they’re talking about and helped me pick out my first skimboard for suited for my needs.

Marie Fischer2021-08-04Three of my kids and a friend did a day camp here and they had a blast at the beach! Owner of the biz, RJ is fantastic. You can tell he puts his heart and soul into teaching the kids. He brings a limbo stick where the kids can skim under and also a bungee cord so that he can give them a boost and sling into the wave.
Lisa Wilks2020-08-27Phenomenal experience!
Camelle Person2020-08-17RJ and his team were punctual, professional and fun! If you want a way to embrace learning something new and you want to have fun while doing it, then Sideslip Skimboarding with this crew is for you! My four year old boy and ten year old girl have never showed so much heart, dedication and determination as they did learning how to skimboard! Not only did they have a great time, but I can use this experience to teach them that with practice and heart, you can accomplish anything. This experience has taught them that if you fall, you dust yourself off, get back up and try, try again! Hats off to this team...we WILL be back again! Now that I know this exist, we will start earlier next summer.
Sam Villanueva2020-06-24Very friendly and easy to work with and great communication and set up for a rental! Definitely will repeat and 100% recommend to anyone interested in skim boarding!
Camron Robertson2019-08-13I had a great experience with SideSlip. I rented a skimboard for the day and they dropped it off and picked it up without any real effort on my part. As someone who is in the market for a new skimboard, it was a great chance to try a new board without the full commitment of buying one. Plus, the board was very nice and ready to use. They are polite and their online board rental service was straightforward. I definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to learn to skimboard or experienced riders wanting to rent a board.
