Jonny and his team have created something special here in Pismo Beach. First-timers consistently rave about getting up on their boards during their very first session, which speaks volumes about the instructors' teaching abilities. The vibe is relaxed and encouraging, with coaches like Josh, Tyler, Ryley, Shane, and Molly getting specific praise for being supportive, down-to-earth, and genuinely passionate about surfing. Families love the multi-day packages, and it's common to see groups of varying skill levels all getting personalized attention during the same session. What really stands out beyond the solid instruction is the welcoming atmosphere. Students mention grabbing burgers with instructors after lessons and feeling like part of the crew rather than just customers. The flexibility and kindness shine through too, with multiple reviewers noting helpful accommodations when unexpected situations arose. Whether you're testing the waters with a single morning session or committing to the three-day package, expect to leave exhausted, maybe a bit sore, but completely hooked on the sport.
We had such an amazing experience. Jonny was a pleasure to work with and his instructors were fantastic. We bought the 5-day surf camp for three of our kids. One was self taught and the other two caught their first wave during camp. They all improved and built up their confidence and love for the sport immensely during this time. Jonny recommended that we break up the 5 days to give the kids a break and I am really glad we followed his recommendation. The camp was 💯 worth the time and money spent. 10/5 STARS 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Huge thanks to Jeff, Riley, Tyler, Molly, Kat and Robbie for being great coaches.
