Skudin Surf American Dream 1 American Dream Way, East Rutherford, NJ 07073

"Purchased the beginner group lesson for my 10 year old daughter. It was insanely awesome! (Despite the very early arrival time). The instructors were knowledgeable and kind and patient. The facility (which we've been to during peak hours) was peaceful. My daughter (and every other student age 7-mid40s) caught nearly every wave. It was very well organized and surfers had the opportunity to ride at least 60 waves if they wanted to. I watched, in jealousy, and will be joining in next time. This is an amazing gift for literally anyone you know age 6-76. Do it now!!!!"

"Incredible. Never thought I could surf indoors near me in New England until this place. The wave is so cool, gains its power from beneath you but otherwise it’s like a normal wave. Helpful staff is there to help you as much or as little as you want. Definately tough to find the spot inside the mall though so make sure to give yourself at least 30 mins to find it and call the number and they’ll walk you through it. Can’t wait to go back!"

"This is definitely a fun and worthwhile experience, but I wish it had more punch. This pool is like no surf session. The plusses are quantity of waves, staff and board selection. The negative is the punch.It's a little weak and hard to drop down the face. I went with a larger board and still had issues. If I lived here I would come regularly. IT IS WORTH THE PRICE"

"Tons of waves, tons of fun, awesome staff. Can’t recommend more, this pool is an absolute blast! Complementary quiver is great, fun shapes and lots of sizes. Mostly epoxy (LibTech construction) and foamies. First time in a wave pool for me, expect some adjustment; finding the slot / takeoff, less float due to the freshwater, etc. The staff is exceptional and will help guide you to take-offs and get you set up in the right spots for each different wave type they throw at you. I did the Expert session but am by no means an expert, at all, not even close. It was the only session available on the day I had to go. I just wanted to work on turns and the expert level hit the spot. Was told expert level is the most realistic to real ocean waves and found that to be pretty true, nice quick little sections / faces to shred. So much fun. Good wave speed and verticality. Don’t worry a second about missing a wave either, it’s a conveyor belt of awesome waves….“buffet” style! Will be coming back for sure next time I’m in town and craving a good wave!"

"Went for 1st around Memorial Day, right before early June surf rental and it was a great tune up. Advanced session - here are some tips: don’t bring a board, they have an amazing selection; volume up in a big way and drop down as you acclimate to wave; wave is very technical - count the 1 then 2 elephants and go off back wall, stay close to wall; it’s a lot of waves/paddling, don’t sweat missing a few as you find narrow slot; place is long but not wide and comes up shallow quick - don’t dive down when bailing…"
