This review is way overdue. After doing my research, I ended up booking with Carlos and I was so glad we booked our very first ever surf lesson with them. Carlos, Rod and Ryan are very passionate, knowledgeable and kind-hearted people. Thank you so much for such a great experience! They give private or group lessons at Bolsa Chica Beach. I highly recommend these guys. I can't thank them enough. read more

Let's Go Surf is a great place to learn to surf! My 13-year-old son said, "Both Carlos and Rod gave great direction and guidance. They were cool and enjoyed themselves during the lesson which made it fun for me. You can tell right away they have lots of experience in the water. I had fun and learned a lot from Carlos and Rod!" As the chauffeur and master scheduler, I appreciated how easy it was to schedule, the communication and confirmation, and the feedback both coaches provided about my son's session. We've had the best experience with Let's Go Surf School! read more

Decided I wanted to try surfing for sometime now so I decided to call "Let's Go Surf Shool". Carlos the instructor was very helpful and respectful I also told him I was looking at other schools and if I can call back another time. 3 days later I called back and asked if he can teach me on Labor Day on short notice and instantly agreed to do so. You don't get that at other schools! Next morning I was trained by coach Jason and I did grab a few waves but Jason was nice to even recommend board sizes and wetsuits for me, plus a great vibe on him. Really dope instructor but also very friendly thanks so much Carlos and Jason for getting me on the surfing path! read more

When the snow slopes, gyms and just about everything fun shut down. I had to find something to do? So I decided to take up surfing after 20 years. I will not lie the 1st couple of times was rough. But Carlos encouraged me to stick with it when I was about to hang it up for good in session two. He inspired me to drive on. He has a lot of patiences and teaches you to maximize your ability while in the water. I started one day a week and now I am looking at two days a week. I highly recommend him as your surf instructor at any age. Thank you Carlos for believing in me and igniting the excitement of the ocean again. MVP! read more

Carlos was a fantastic instructor. Super sweet and understanding about different skill levels. When I fell off my board in the water and started panicking, he calmed me down and continuously checked on me when I went to relax on the shore. He applauded my efforts and did not make me feel like a failure. He gave me a (safe) hug at the end of my lesson. His energy is so peaceful. I would definitely come back and learn more surfing! read more

First I want to start off by saying thank you so much to carlos!!!! I have never stepped foot in the ocean due to fear never would I have thought I would be along the line with the other surfers and actually catching not one but a few waves!!!! This experience has changed me in ways I wish I can describe.... The way Carlos explained the ocean and how the currents work not feeling rushed but actually having the feeling of someone that truly wanted to teach me...We step foot and step by step he guided me to where I didn't realize I was passed the break water...It took me a min to take it in.Carlos simply told me take your time and enjoy the moment when you are ready we can continue that was awesome!!! Sorry for this crazy long review but I felt the need to let people know if you want to learn how to surf you simply must come here it changed my life and I promise it will change yours!!!! read more

Our son took lessons with some of his friends and had a blast surfing! Carlos, Jason, Rod, Ryan, and Zane were all awesome instructors. They were all fun, patient, and good energy. These are the folks you want teaching your kids to surf with genuine enthusiasm and care in their instruction. Thanks so much guys! read more

Talented crew of instructors that know, my 10 year old was surfing on her first lesson.

Carlos is an amazing instructor!! I was so amazed with his personality and techniques. I was looking online for a surf school. I am so very I got Carlos! I will be recommending Carlos! Thank you Carlos! read more

It was a first time surf lesson for my daughter and myself- and I can't recommend this school enough! Jason is a very kind and patient teacher, he made sure that we felt comfortable in the water and with our boards before progressing any further. Carlos is extremely warm and inviting and we felt totally secure in their hands! Anyone interested in learning how to surf should definitely go with this school. read more

My friend and I had been talking about learning to surf for years, after trying every other sport with a board in the past couple of years. When I had to go down to the LA area for work, we took the opportunity to stay an extra week and find some surf lessons. We are both so glad we did this! This was an amazing experience and one I'm going to remember for a long time. Carlos was super nice and answered all our questions when my friend first called to inquire about lessons, which really gave us a good feeling about this school. We signed up for 3 lessons, all of which we did in a week as that was all the time we had, and had Rod as our instructor. It was such a fun week and I'm missing it terribly. Rod was a great instructor, super patient and kind, and overall just a lot of fun to be around. He never failed to explain and re-explain the techniques and put up with my total lack of paddling skills like a champ. Now I'm just wishing I lived closer to a beach. read more

Let's Go Surf School saved my son's summer last year. Carlos's knowledge, experience, patience, and genuine love for surfing and for teaching kids was more than we could have asked for. He really knows how to encourage kids in a way that keeps them motivated. He not only teaches how to ride and read sets, Carlos also explains to them the importance of ocean safety and surf etiquette. Carlos gave my son the gift of a forever sport/hobby that he will continue to love and be able to enjoy for the rest of his life. It would have never happened if it wasn't for Carlos and Let's Go Surf School! read more

Carlos has been so patient and wonderful teaching my sons (10 and 12) how to surf!! Being from Colorado we haven't spent much time in the ocean and he makes us all feel like we just might be able to figure this out! He always is so upbeat and helps the kids gain confidence (and even gives me confidence having them in the water with him). Surfs up read more

We booked a 2 hour private surf lesson for our seven year old at her request while in Long Beach for vacation. Carlos was so kind over the phone setting everything up, he was great with communication leading up to the lesson. But he truly shined when we got to the beach. He was so patient and his love of the ocean, surfing and passing his knowledge on to his students was evident the entire time. He gave us and our daughter memories that we will never forget. You won't find a better place or a better human to learn from. read more

California on the coast in Long Beach? Why not try surfing for the first time at 48 years old. Called and Carlos picked up the phone right away and had me up and surfing 3 hrs later. His knowledge and patience was just what I needed to inspire me to keep at it. Next time I'm in Long Beach I am reaching out to Carlos! read more

We have been attending this surf school for a few months now. Carlos is amazing with kids and is encouraging and positive. He has taught my son so much already and he continues to grow with each lesson. Carlis truly loves watching his students progress and develop their skills as well as their love for the ocean and the sport of surfing. This has been life changing for my 13 year old boy. read more

Carlos is an awesome instructor and has a lot of fun out on the water. He taught me some new things I had never known before, helping to really transform my surfing game in the process. He is patient and experienced and a pleasure to surf with. Cannot recommend his service enough for surfers of all levels. read more

Carlos has been an amazing surf instructor, not only for my 14 year old son but for my husband as well. My teenager listens to him and respects him. He has been patiently teaching every aspect of surfing from reading the waves to techniques for different conditions. If conditions are not good for beginners, they do not go out. He has also been quick with communication. Overall, he makes it fun while navigating the learning curve of a challenging new sport for our family. read more

Private surf lesson with Rod today. Very nice and supportive. Very patient and encouraging with kids. Carlos the owner is great with communication. Would highly recommend lessons with them!! read more

Rod was a great teacher and the folks scheduling the lesson were great at communicating. All is good with these dudes

Carlos is absolutely amazing! I've always wanted to learn surfing but never found the right time to start. I love the ocean but the only water sport I've done is a little bit of swimming. Finally this week I just decided to give it a try. I had contacted another surf school but after they didn't reply I found Carlos here on Yelp. I am SO LUCKY it worked out this way: 1. Carlos was super flexible and was able to meet me the very next day at a time that was perfect for me. Pricing and instructions on how to get to Bosa Chica Beach were clear and straightforward. 2. On lesson day Carlos brought me a brand new wetsuit that fit perfectly! 3. Carlos is an INCREDIBLE teacher!! We spent ~30 minutes on land. He explained all the important aspects of surfing without making me feel overwhelmed. 4. Once we were in the water he continued to give very clear instructions on how to maneuver the board and the waves. 5. Carlos is so good at teaching to the pace of the learner and keeping my spirits up! We went deeper into the ocean in the first lesson and I felt extreme safe even when I got hit by the waves. It's obvious he loves teaching because he was just as excited as I was when I caught my first wave! 6. Carlos is super patient and encouraging. He always reminded me to breathe and made sure I had enough time to rest before setting me up for the next wave. The first lesson was so fun that I bought the wetsuit from him afterwards. Now I am about to have my third lesson in a week! I highly highly recommend Carlos to anyone who wants to learn surfing!!! read more

Carlos and Jason are such awesome humans and teachers! They believed in us and taught us great skills and we actually rode some waves and learned to begin to read the water. If you want to learn to surf you must call these friends up and get them to teach you! We'd give them more stars if we could! read more

Carlos was the best!!!! I went with 3 other friends for a 2 hour session. He was very knowledgeable about the waves and how to maneuver your board. Not to mention incredibly motivating and helped us catch some of the best waves! We even went an hour over time (without getting charged more) because he was so dedicated to us having a good time. Would definitely recommend Carlos to anyone learning to surf or even a more experienced surfer. read more

My boys (12 & 14 yo) and I (50 yo) spent a good chunk of last summer with Carlos. Wow, what a great surf teacher he is. He communicates concepts clearly, is super patient, is always fun and enthusiastic. Plus, he's just a good, decent human being. The kids and I always looked forward to our time with Carlos. We will be going back for more lessons this summer. We could not recommend Carlos and Let's Go Surf School more highly! read more
