I yelped "surf lessons" and I pretty much called 5 different ones. I left a message in the morning for inquiry and Steve called me back by noon. Our initial convo was awesome. He answered all my questions and put me at ease with my decision to sign my daughter up for a lesson, then we agreed on a time. We met with him on a Saturday morning at 10am at Torrance beach. This beach is clean and lovely. Plenty of parking and not overcrowded like other popular beaches. Steve went through safety with my daughter and the rest of the family. I really appreciated that he included us in his instruction. He kept it open for questions and he was very easy going. I signed a waiver, of course then my daughter went out to the water and caught some waves and even stood up on the board! Amazing! It was such a joy to watch her learn something out of her element. She was pretty scared and nervous upon meeting Steve, but he completely put her at ease and gave her the encouragement she needed to do great. I highly recommend South Bay surf sessions!

Bit of a different review from everyone else for Olympus Board Shop: this is for their Onewheel…read morerental and sales! I came across them while looking for a local place to rent a Onewheel, the electric skateboards made by Future Motion. They're an authorized dealer; perfect, I'd rather buy local. I went to their website, and turns out they also rent! $70/day if less than 4 days, $60 for 5+ days. I wanted to try out a Onewheel before dropping $1k, so I texted and set a day to come by. They also require a 30min tutorial if you have no experience: perfect, I have zero experience and it'll be helpful to learn from a human. Tyler helped me do a few laps in the parking lot, let me borrow a helmet, and I went home to practice more. By the end of the rental period, I knew I wanted one of my own. After some back and forth, we got my order figured out and submitted. They applied the money I spent on the rental towards the purchase of a new board, I put down a deposit, and the wait began. Something to note: the owner, Jeremy, let me borrow a shop board until mine arrived. Due to some mix-ups with the delivery address, I ended up holding onto the shop board for weeks. I really appreciated having the extra time with the loaner and all the additional practice hours I got in. By the time my board arrived, I'd gotten a total of 18 miles in. For anyone else in my shoes - zero experience, nervous about spending so much, not sure if Onewheel is for you - this is the place to start. Rent first, learn on a loaner, buy when you're ready.

The store has a LOT going on, and it can be confusing, but luckily the worker was friendly and helpful with locating which section had the tennis items!

After reading the reviews on Yelp I thought I would schedule a lesson with Pacific Coast Surf Company. Knowing that I would need a patient instructor and after reading the reviews in Yelp, I figured that I would give Pacific Coast Surf Company a try. Emily suggested we do the lesson in Redondo Beach. I met her down at the beach and she was very professional and asked me what I wanted to work on. After explaining that I needed help with my pop up and timing on catching waves we did some dry land training before we paddled out. Once out in the water she was very patient and saw all of the areas of improvement that I needed. We worked on some things in the water and came back on the sand so she could show me some things before we paddled back out again. Emily is an awesome surf coach and was an excellent teacher for a novice level surfer. If you are looking take lessons I highly recommend her.

I was looking to book a two-person lesson as a surprise date situation for myself and my special lady friend. I explained the deal to Emily via email and she responded immediately and enthusiastically and recommended Redondo beach because there would be plenty of free street parking on a weekday morning (bonus!). Emily is really observant, kind, patient, and encouraging. This was not only the best first time surfing lesson I could have asked for it also turned out to be a total hit with my date. Emily was really stoked by our stoke and all in all it was a stoketastic day.
