    Beginners consistently leave thrilled after their lessons here, with instructors like Mike, Angie, Chuck, and Jared earning high praise for their patience and teaching skills. People love how the instructors tailor lessons to individual comfort levels and sizes, helping complete novices stand up and ride waves within their first session. The booking process is straightforward, equipment fits well, and the Santa Monica location near the pier makes it convenient for visitors using public transit. The team genuinely seems to care about getting people comfortable in the water and having fun. Several reviewers mention the encouraging, welcoming atmosphere that puts nervous first-timers at ease. They handle groups well too, from families to corporate events of 14+ people. A couple reviews mention mixed experiences with instructor attentiveness, so it's worth being clear about your comfort level and expectations when booking. Optional photos are available after lessons if you want to capture the memories.

    Loved my first surf lesson. I decided to try something new and so something terrifying. I was in Santa Monica with a few hours to myself. Booked a surf lesson and loved it! The instructors were so patient and so positive. They took on the waves to make my job easier. I may have only stood up a few times but it was definitely worth it and I would try again if I’m in the area. 100% recommend
