Easy and fun lessons for my teens. The entire process from check in to finish was great.. The boys learned fast, and were in the water quickly to start surfing. You get another free hour after the leasons to continue, or you could go back another day to redeem.

There was no one else in my group aside from me and my instructor Kelly, she did a great job showing me the basics and getting me comfortable to hit the waves by myself the next time I go surfing

Chris and Trevor were amazing instructors! High energy and very patient. Did everything they could to get us catching and riding waves. My spouse and I had a blast. I highly recommend this surf tour but rent the wetsuit and booties.

We went to San Diego to get the full beach experience and this was amazing! Devan was super helpful and easy to talk to and Brandon at the shop was more than accommodating. We’ll definitely be back!
