Fantastic experience with Mike!…read more I booked some time for me (A somewhat experienced surfer with years of rust who had fallen out of shape) and my buddy (Brand new to surfing but in great shape. Mike was great. Met us with board and wetsuits and met each of us at our level. He was very hands on and out there in the water with us the whole time. By the end, we'd both caught a few waves and i felt like i FINALLY knew what I was doing again. Since then, we've gone a few more times. Booking again next time im on the coast.

Really fun and informative experience! Desi and Tomas were our instructors for our group of six. My…read morefriend and I both purchased the Groupon option, and it was a blast. We met by the bathrooms of El Porto by lifeguard station 12 and picked up our wetsuits from their cars. From there, we headed towards a less crowded portion of the water by the rocks, and did a quick yoga flow before going into the basics of how to pop up and hold the board. After the lesson, we got assigned our boards and went off into the water. I think both instructors tried to spread their attention as evenly as possible. I was able to stand up multiple times and surf some one-foot waves (go me!). The time flew by, and once it was over, we brought the surfboards back to their cars. They'll take Venmo for tips. I would suggest wearing your flip flops to the beach since the ground was really hot, and also bringing a water bottle for post-surf. There's paid parking available in the lot although the meters seem to be broken since I still got a ticket even though my parking should've been valid. Otherwise there's very limited street parking. You can leave your valuables in the instructor's car. You can book private lessons on the website or small group lessons as well. Definitely book the lesson - it's a great workout and you'll have so much fun!

I was thrilled to find that Camp Surf had an option for the week of 6/7 while we were in the…read moreManhattan Beach area, as most other camps in California do not kick-off until a week or two later due to the state of California's school schedule. The sign up process was easy, so I did so online and locked it in! While my kids (8 and 9 years old) are very beginner surfers, they love the beach, and the laid back days and small group experience offered by Camp Surf was a prefect fit for both of them. We did not go in with high expectations to get them riding waves within days, so we were okay that there was not a ton of pressure to do so, but I imagine if you have expectations and kids interested in doing so, the Camp Surf staff will follow your guidance. Huge thanks to Cameron and Claire, their main counselors for the week for making sure they had fun first and foremost.

Very disappointing! Signed up for 3 hours of surfing, and only got to surf for 30 minutes; and was…read moreforced to sit on the beach for the rest of the time. We were told it was because the counselors needed "a long break" and "just wanted to chill". Also didn't provide wetsuits. If you want to get rid of your kids, I guess you could bring them here. But if you want quality surfing and fun, NEVER EVER SIGN UP HERE! In addition, the instructors gave no instructions and let the young kids freerange!!!! Wtf

Amazing Surf Lesson with Kawika My son (11yrs old First Surf Lessons EVER) had an incredible…read moreexperience learning to surf with Kawika. My son of course is new to the sport, I was a bit nervous, but he made everything feel easy and fun from the start. His teaching style is laid-back but very professional, and he gave clear, step-by-step instructions that were easy for my son to follow. He was patient and encouraging, which helped my son build confidence easily. The conditions were perfect, and Kawika knew exactly how to guide him through the waves, making sure he was safe while having a blast. By the end of the lesson, he was able to stand up and catch a few waves almost on his own. I highly recommend booking a lesson with Kawika (Surf Blessons) Darnell J.

The Hermosa Beach Cities website can be a little wonky to maneuver - but it's worth the few minutes to give your kid a week they will LOVE.

The team arrived on time with surfboards, bodyboards, tent and wetsuits for the kids. They helped them every step of the way and were engaged 100% of the time. I really appreciated that while the coaches worked with the kids there was always one coach who was just looking out for their safety. They easily gained the kids' trust and I was surprised how kids who had zero interest in surfing eventually tried it and had fun doing it, thanks to the coaches' encouragement and enthusiasm. Perfect combination of fun and professional! They were also a pleasure to work with on email/phone/text amd that's so important to busy working mamas like me. I'll certainly reach out to them again the next time we have a beach party or want to try out a surf camp.
