I've known Randy, the owner for over 40 years and supply him with my surfboards. He is…read moreknowledgeable and cares about his customers. Pretty much a one man show that still believes in offering customized service to people. If he doesn't have it, he will either get it for you or direct you to the best place to pick it up. To me, that is service above & beyond. Maybe the guy bad rapping him in another review got him on a bad day. Or maybe he had someone filling in for him. Randy is generous & active in the Ventura community supporting non profit charities and individuals in need. That says a lot about a friend and business associate I admire & respect. -Bruce Fowler

The last time I dropped by the shop, four years ago, Randy had to let to go of his shop crew, I'm…read moresorry to say. He'd had an amazing staff of surf-savy people working for him. Fortunately, Randy was still alive and well, and able to design a board for me, send the specs to the shaper, and get me my new stick, including packing and boxing it up for me within the twelve days I had before heading back to South America. I've been surfing for more than 60 years, surfed and lived all over the surfing world, and I either purchased or had Randy design boards that I'm fortunate to have in my quiver. He's a great guy, fun to be around, and Wave Front has the vibe of surf shops from back in the days when they did nothing but talk surfing and make finely crafted surfboards.

BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT ON MY GRANDCHILDREN!!!!!!!!…read more WITHOUT RESERVATION. I highly recommend this sutf camp. First and foremost, the owner Rodrigo Cardenas is one of the most accommodating people I have ever dealt with. He is kind and reassuring. He made sure both my grandchildren got in the same camp. Now let's talk About the manager, Kyle.. Kyle is one of the most attentive, passionate, Supervisor, oginized people I have observed. He loves the kids and puts thier safty first. Both Kyle and All the surf coaches are constantly reminding the kids to hydrate, rest and re-apply sunscreen....They work together as a team, to not only teach each camper learns how to surf, but how to encourage others..to surf, have fun, and be safe. I wish I could remember the name of all the coaches. But I'm 62 and my memory fails me. But I have to say Nate does stand out. While all the coaches are extremely encouraging with the kids and are very professional. And it is obvious that they care for the campers, I can tell that coaching is Nate's passion. He has an amazing lifestyle. He coaches surfing all summer and snowboarding in the winter. And never sell any of the female coaches short., They are amazing women. I feel a bit embarrassed that I can't remember all of their names.. It is not because they didn't leave an impression on me, it is simply my memory.. Every single one of them, all the male coaches and female coaches are amazing people.. It is very hard to impress me when it comes to how people treat one another. And especially when it comes to how people treat children. But every one of these people left a deep impression.. My grandchildren felt cared for as well as they felt like they were really taught something. Truthfully my granddaughter everything athletic comes super easy to her. My grandson, on the other hand., It's very intelligent. But anything athletic comes with a bit of a challenge for him.. But believe me, they taught him how to surf. The look on his face when he finally conquered the waves was A look I will never forget.. I thank God for this camp. I really believe it was a divine appointment when I called Rodrigo. God is so good.. I really believe this was The perfect camp for my grandchildren..

I enrolled my 4 and 8 year olds at the Mary Osborne Surf Camp for a week this summer after a great…read morereview from a friend. I didn't really know what to expect sending a 4 year old to surf camp but whoever my expectations were, this camp completely exceeded them. The ratio of counselors to kids was outstanding and the counselors were caring, patient, and you could tell they enjoyed their jobs. My kids made great friends, had a blast, and were up surfing right away with lots of encouragement and help when needed. Little kids, like my 4 year old, take turns going out one on one with an instructor and get to catch waves like everyone else. It's amazing, safe, and a great value for what you pay. Did i mention that there's a pizza party the last day of camp? The whole thing was an incredible experience and we can't wait to do it again.

I asked the "moms of Ventura" Facebook group for recommendations and Mary Osborne's Surf Camp was a clear favorite among the group. At first I was reluctant to send a 5 year old to surf camp but after speaking with Mary and learning that the teacher: student ratio for the littler kids was 1:1, I was warming up to the idea. What really sold me though was how warm and lovely Mary was on the phone. She wasn't pushy AT ALL about signing up- she even told me to wait until the first day to sign up/ pay in case my daughter was really afraid and didn't want to do it. My daughter was a little reluctant about surfing but the counselors/ instructors eased her into it and by the 4th day, she was standing up on the board, riding the wave! I highly recommend this camp!
