I took my two high school boys to the Pacific Surf School. Our instructor was Adam. He was excellent! He did a great job teaching us and his enthusiasm was great! On top of that he is a nice guy. I would recommend this to anyone!

I showed up at the beach and the waves combined with some good wind looked daunting. This novice got a little pep talk and off we went. Tyler was great at adapting his teaching to my skill, even as it progressed throughout the lesson! I'd do it again.

What an amazing morning me and 2 friends spent learning how to surf. We had researched other schools in the area and decided based on reviews and the chilled face to face atmosphere that Pacific Surf was it! Plus cheaper then the local competition. Our instructor Fernando was just simply put in the local lingo... Awesome! He was very relaxed... More

My friend Natalie and I took a surfing lesson this week with Tyler and had an amazing time out in the water. As nervous first timers, Tyler was extremely thorough with preparing us for the endeavor and was equally patient and enthusiastic when we stood up for the first time! (Yeah!) He made sure we felt comfortable with the waves... More

Had our first surf lesson ever and it was amazing. It was just Adam, me and my friend. We did a 30min intro on the beach and then went in the water for 90min. Both of us were able to stand up on our boards after a few tries and we just had so much fun!

Ive spent some days in San Diego, Me and my family took a couple of surf lessons. We loved the instructors , the beach and the waves: They are especially careful when it comes to the handling and the safety of the children. After our lesson, we bought some beautiful pictures by the pro photografers the school has.. Amazing experience!... More
