- Eric gave me my first kitesurfing lesson. It turns out that this first lesson ignited in me an enduring passion for the sport. As I took this lesson it also became clear to me that Eric is one of those rare individuals who is not only an expert but an expert at teaching. He is clear, patient and genuinely shares your joy as your kitesurfing skills develop. He understands how and when to most efficiently teach the skills needed to get up and riding. As a middle aged guy with no previous water, wind, board sports experience and a limited amount of free time to learn this understanding was critically important to me.
Eric is also expert at instilling the judgment needed to be a safe and independent kitesurfer. Because of these skills, when my oldest daughter Katie expressed interest in learning how to ride, the choice for me was simple. It was send her to learn with Eric. As a young athlete, I had no doubt that she would acquire the physical skills and muscle memory to be up and riding quickly. Along with this skill I wanted to make sure came a commitment to safety. With Eric she quickly traveled the physical learning curve and developed the judgment and focus on safety necessary to enjoy the sport.

- Eric Gustafson of Funseekers taught me to windsurf over 10 years ago. It has become a sport I love passionately. But as anyone who does this sport knows, you become a slave to the wind, and since you need it to blow around 20mph or more, the days you can go are not as frequent as the urge to go. That's why I am taking kiting lessons from Eric now. Kiting is a sport you can do in as little as 10 mph winds. More than windsurfing, I had some reservations about kiting, perhaps I heard too many "kitemares", so I knew I wanted to learn with someone who would teach me the safe way, the right way, and in the proper conditions in the proper locations. That's why I chose Eric. In addition, as we all know, it's one thing to learn a sport. It's an entirely different matter to teach it. That's why friends, boyfriends, etc., are not always the best "teachers." That's why there are certified teachers for such things. Eric brings a great deal of patience, professionalism and wonderfully innate teaching skills to his work. I would recommend Eric to anyone at any level who wants to learn a sport - especially kiting.

- We just returned home very early this morning but I wanted to let you know that we had an amazing time. The girls (and mom's) loved the surfing lesson. The guys were great. The girls will never forget it. I can't wait to get our pictures back! I will definitely recommend the trip to other Girl Scouts in our area. Thank you so much for all of your help! We had a very memorable trip! It was a wonderful experience that everyone of any skill level can enjoy.

- Nothing compares to a surf lesson with the Funseekers! I have taken lessons in Australia and in Hawaii, and my lesson here in Cape Cod with the Funseekers was better then any other surf lesson I have ever gotten! Myself and my friend are definitely beginners and we were riding waves and learning to turn on them by the end of our lesson! We were brought to a beautiful beach and we were taught about how the ocean works in a quick talk on the beach and then were were brought right in the water where all the action was. Our instructor had awesome energy while teaching us and we each caught a ton of waves that day. There was no waiting or holding back we were able to try on our own or with help from our instructor, we got positive feedback every time we rode a wave and we were taught what to fix if something was wrong. All in all it was the best lesson I have ever had and totally worth every penny!

- Hi Eric,
I just wanted to thank you (and Jackie) so much for such a wonderful experience last Saturday. My friend Erin and I absolutely loved our surf lesson with Jackie - we didn't want it to end! We've already decided that once we practice some more and get a little better, we will be back to Fun Seekers for another lesson!
Again, thank you so much for a life-changing experience! I can totally picture myself becoming completely addicted to it :)

Summer 2009
- The summer of 2006 was made perfect when my daughter Molly and I decided to finally take surfing lessons. From the perfect beginner waves at White Crest Beach to our very experienced, enormously patient and personable instructor, Ryan Garcia, we couldn't have asked for a better time. Ryan displayed his natural ability to teach by instructing at opposite ends of the spectrum--mom, age 46 (!) and daughter, age 9. He truly proved that if we can do it, anyone can, and we had a lot of laughs along the way. We saw firsthand how Fun Seekers is committed to providing the best possible learning experience with safety and fun as guiding tenets. Thanks for a great experience. We'll see you again next year!

- Just wanted to let you know the lessons with Andy were a huge success for the kids - especially my son Ryan. He said this was the highlight of his summer, and he has done a lot of things this summer (boating, kneeboarding, waterskiing, etc.) We will be back to Wellfleet sometime soon.

- I wanted to let you know, that I had the best time taking surf lessons. Andy Jacob was my instructor and he did such a great job teaching me. First we sat in the sand and he used some little pieces of wood and explained.."this is you..this is me" and then he created the sand bank and waves in the sand, this really helped me understand and made the teaching come alive. Then we practiced how to stand on the board and how to get up and stuff. It was awesome riding my first wave. I loved it so much that I have purchased my first surfboard. I had so much fun...the lessons made a big difference. I am sure it would have taken me the rest of the summer to figure out what Andy showed me in two hours. Thank you Fun Seekers...thank you Andy...I will send more fun seekers your way!

- I am a late starter in the world of surfing, but thanks to Ryan I had a great time learning how to surf. He is extremely patient, and he gave me the confidence to continue the sport. He is an awesome instructor, and I highly recommend him. Thanks Ryan! I am now hooked on surfing!
