This surf school has clearly figured out the formula for getting first-timers standing on their boards fast. Instructors like Sam, Dane, Ryan, and Cooper get consistent shoutouts for being patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to learn from. Reviewers mention getting up on waves within their first few attempts, with many total beginners riding multiple waves in a single two-hour session. The instructors do something unique by "towing" students out to the waves using their feet, which saves energy and maximizes time actually surfing. Families seem especially happy here. Multiple reviews mention kids as young as three having a blast, with instructors skilled at adapting their approach for different ages and experience levels. Parents appreciate how instructors build confidence in nervous kids while keeping everyone safe and out of the impact zone. The booking process is straightforward, and they handle all the logistics including boards, wetsuits, and beach transportation. The overall vibe is welcoming and encouraging, making it an excellent choice for anyone curious about learning to surf in Santa Cruz.
Great experience! Private one-on-one coaching got me catching waves on my second wave of the session. 5/5 recommend!
