LBI Surfing has built a loyal following over the years, with families returning season after season for surf lessons and rentals. The instructors get consistent praise by name—Ryan, Ethan, Frank, Jason, and Joe all stand out for their patience and skill at teaching everyone from nervous first-timers to experienced kids. What really shines through is how personalized the experience feels: staff greet returning students by name, take time after lessons to share tips about reading conditions, and genuinely seem invested in helping people succeed on their boards. The shop itself is well-stocked with gear and conveniently located just a block from the beach. Parents appreciate the reasonable pricing and flexible scheduling, while the instructors clearly know how to work with different age groups and skill levels. Beyond surfing, they rent bikes and beach equipment, though one reviewer had issues with dirty chairs. Still, the overwhelming sentiment points to a professional, friendly operation where both kids and adults have genuine fun learning to surf. Expect a welcoming atmosphere and instructors who'll get you standing up on waves, no matter your experience level.
Another great session with LBI Surfing, our 5th year and we all look forward to it! Thanks again to Frank and Jason for their knowledge, patience and helping all the kids catch good waves. Jeff, we’ll be back again next year!!
