Background
Kyle Busey was born and raised in Charleston and is arguably the best surfer to ever emerge from SC. He started to surf at age 11 and quickly became National Champion by 14. After winning multiple state, regional, and east coast titles he pursued a path of professional surfing.
In between traveling and competing professionally he loves to share his love of surfing and surfing knowledge with others.
“I don’t travel or compete nearly as much anymore, so I like to spend my time passing my knowledge that you can only acquire from years of traveling and competing onto those willing to learn. What I have done is simplified the learning to surf process and by doing so have made it fool proof. I love passing on my secrets of successfully surfing onto others." – Kyle Busey

Raving Reviews
“My Boys had a blast and Kyle was such a great teacher!!! Would highly recommend!! Kyle was so patient!!" – Nichol S. – Tripadvisor
“Kyle went out of his way to teach us how to surf on Folly Beach and his passion was evident! Totally professional and he has a photographer who takes pictures for you as part of your purchase. He is also really good at building confidence!” – AJ – Tripadvisor
“Highlight of our trip! My sister and I had a girls weekend and had booked a paddle board tour with Carolina Salt. We had such a blast that we came back the next day for surfing lessons on Folly Beach! Kyle and Connor were awesome and we highly recommend them!” – MCT – Tripadvisor
“Our girls loved their surf lesson with Kyle! He is funny and patient, and had my two up on the boards in no time, even though it was their very first time surfing. If we are ever back in Folly Beach, we will definitely look into doing it again! ” – Carene – Tripadvisor
“Kyle has not only helped me to progress quickly after being out of the water for several months, but he has also helped many of my friends try surfing (and get up!!) for the first time. I started surfing at the end of last summer and was hooked, but had trouble transitioning from a beginner board to a hardtop. I was frustrated and getting nowhere in my other lessons. Then I was referred to Kyle and Carolina Salt. GAME CHANGER! In just four lessons Kyle had me go from a foam board, to a hybrid board to the shorter hardtop I had been trying to get on for MONTHS. I have seen him with both experienced surfers and new surfers – helping each of them with detailed tips and analysis. And all of this is while making everyone feel comfortable and confident. Kyle has a 100% positive teaching style and you can tell he absolutely loves what he does. If you are interested in trying surfing, or looking to knock some rust off of your surfing skills- this is your company." – Bethysue – Tripadvisor
