Caught some California waves - We had so much fun! Our family of 4 (parents in our 40s and two 13 year olds) of varying athletic abilities were all able to catch some waves! The instructors were kind and patient and we all got time with them while surfing even with a dozen or so other people in the lesson. We highly recommend this surf school!

Catching some California waves - Surfing was amazing! And the coaches were awesome! Great group of people. Going to book again for sure. My 14 year old son loved it and rebooked a second lesson immediately.

Awesone experience for first time surfers - My 19 and 17 year old first-time surfers had a great time with Jonny and his surf staff. They know what they are doing, provide enough teachers for thr class for a good experience, have all the supplies, and made it a wonderful experience. The water and the beach were pretty cold but my kids were warm enough to do the lesson wearing the wetsuits that the school provided. Thanks!

Great surf lessons! - Amazing instructors. Took great care of our 13 and 9 year old kids. Very chill and easy crew. Can’t go wrong. They took the time and ensure the kids had over two hours in the water.
