We were nervous for our first surfing experience but really loved it!! Alex was our instructor and he did a great job of making us feel safe and have fun!!

Alexi was a fantastic instructor! He was informative, attentive, and easy going. We had 4 people in our group and he was great at triaging who needed help and when to give us each a great experience. He was committed to getting every person to ride waves. I would definitely return for another lesson!

This was my first time surfing and our instructor, Alex, was patient, knowledgeable, and fun. I would highly, highly recommend this for anyone, like myself, looking to surf for the first time.

I was one of two surfers (both beginner) and got plenty of personal lessons from the instructor. The instructor was an experienced surfer from Russia and would get in the water to help us catch the right wave to surf. Highly recommend to anyone in the Venice area looking to try the sport.

Amazing experience! Felipe’s style of teaching allowed all four of us in the group to catch at least one wave. I’d recommend booking this for a day above at least 75 degrees as the water was very cold, but I cannot wait to book this experience again when I’m back in LA!

My husband and daughters loved it. Martin was their instructor and he was awesome!! They had alot of fun!! Finding the location was a little stressful, wished we would have had a message from them with better directions. Apple nor Google were accurate.

Amazing experience! Great for a multitude of levels/experience. Super nice instructors. Would love to go again next time we are in town!

It was excellent. I was taught by Diego, who had a lot of experience and broke down things in a way that made it very easy to understand. I managed to catch a few waves, which was very cool. Highly recommended.

I was in California for six days and this surfing lesson was the best part of the whole trip. Surfing was on my bucket list and this was a fun and easy way to check it off. The lesson was very helpful and you spent plenty of time in the water trying it out for yourself. The instructor (Alex) was very helpful. I will definitely go back for more lessons when I am in town. They also do more than just begginer lessons!

Una experiencia única que volvería hacer definitivamente! Me encanta la playa y hacerlo en una tabla de surf fue muy divertido!

Het was een leuke les; de weersomstandigheden waren bijzonder: hoge golven, zon en dolfijnen die in de golven meesurfden!
