My daughter had the best time at this camp. She was a total beginner and they got her up on the board so early but with lots of attention and one on one guidance so she felt comfortable. Highly recommend this camp! read more

My kids have taken surf classes with perfect day and we love it. Our instructor was Brandon, he is super kind, patient and great with kids. He helped them catch waves, he goes out there with them and sets them up for success. They had boards and wetsuits for the kids to wear if you don't have your own. The boards were in good condition and they have boogie boards as well. My youngest is just learning to boogie board so he was more comfortable with that and only going out with Brandon, which I'm totally fine with as long as he tries. My oldest was able to catch waves on his first day, Brandon really helps and gives one on one instruction. The kids were friendly and my kids had fun. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Perfect Day Surf Camp. After a few scheduling hiccups with Terrenea Resort, who we made the reservations for PDSCamp through, we got our Surf lessons in for our 10 year old Granddaughter and her friend. Nicholas is a sweetheart and so accomodating, friendly, and very good with the kids and my 78 year old husband who took a lesson as well. The staff was also immensly helpful and quick to respond to my phone call and texts. We had an issue with finding the meeting spot and got help right away once Terrenea connected our dilemma to PDSurf Camp. I cannot express enough how much fun it was and the kids were excited and even got up and standing on their boards after a few tries. It was safe, good communication and maybe we will have inspired some future surfboarders:) Many kudos to the PDSurf Camp. If I could give them 100 stars I would. read more

I am really excited that Perfect Day is bringing back the all girls surf camp at Torrance Beach. What a great way for my granddaughter to spend summer mornings. Both grandchildren have been involved with Perfect Day for the last 3 years and the addition of the girls only camp is a great add this year. read more

We appreciate the staff and experience with kids. Great way to learn. We look forward to returning every summer. read more

My 12 year old son had a great time! Brandon was very patient and great coach. Will definitely come back for more lessons. Highly recommend. read more

I just wanted to complement your amazing staff at Knob Hill. They have all been so kind and on top of everything. The boys come home and tell me every day how much fun they had with each staff member and how much they love them all! This is our second year at this camp and they will continue to come back! This is the highlight of their summer! read more

Much thanks to Olo and Perfect Day for giving my grandson such a great time in the water! He was really cold for his first lesson, wrong size wetsuit, and the water was super cold. But he didn't want to give up so, with the encouragement of Olo, his instructor, he came back for day two. Olo brought TWO!! wetsuits for the little guy and he had a blast! He is underweight and not real strong, but he stayed in the water the whole time, got up on the board and even stood up, to the cheers of his family! Olo is outstanding, super patient and really wanted my grandson to succeed. I was impressed with his instruction and the fact that he stayed out in the water with the kid for 1/12 hours (58 degrees). I'm not doing that! Thanks, Perfect Day and Olo, you have created a new surfer! read more

We love Perfect Day Surf Camp! The counselors are wonderful and my son has a blast surfing, boogie boarding and hanging with the other kids. And Robbie is very responsive and accommodating. Thank you! This is our second summer and we will be back for future summers! read more

Get yourself some R+R (Robbie + Ryan) ASAP!! This is one of the best things I've ever done for myself since having kids! My Thursday moms crew is the BEST!! For the last year I've gone out at Sapphire/Topaz in RB and get pushed into the waves of the day and LOVE EVERY SECOND! I've met such incredible women (and Ryan!), gone on an AMAZING camping trip and have learned how to surf! I look so forward to Thursdays and no matter the weather, surf or temp of the water it's the best day and my soul sings. I HIGHLY recommend doing a class with us and see for yourself! You'll never regret a paddle out into mama ocean read more

Great lessons! Absolutely loved it. That was my first time surfing and I actually caught waves Incredible feelings! The teacher was super nice and helpful. She taught us a big load of information and well prepared us even for sessions on our own. If that wasn't our last day in California I would come there every morning for another lesson! I definitely recommend it for all beginners (probably also for non beginners, but I can tell only from my experience). read more

The BEST experience! I did Surf Moms at Redondo beach. So glad that I finally worked up the nerve and found the time to do it. Our instructor was great and I felt very safe and supported.

The camp is awesome. My kids and their cousins had a great time. It's a great way to keep kids active in the outdoors.

After having a disappointing first day at surf camp, Robbie called me and offered a private surf lesson which we accepted. Thank you very much Robbie for your commitment to quality of Isaiah's surf experience. read more

SUCH A FUN WEEK at the beach for my 12-year-old! It's our 2nd year in a row and we'll be back again for sure. Thanks a ton!

Such an unforgettable experience! My 9 year old daughter was a part of the summer 10 week pass and enjoyed every single day. Her confidence has grown and her new found surf skills are amazing. The instructors are all trustworthy and so much fun! The Director Ryan, instructors Ethan, Tyler, Caleb, Teague, Griffin, Frank, Grace, Lex, Sophia, Kamio all played a part in all the kids success - recommend 100%! read more

Perfect Day Surf Camp - Incredible camp counselor Ryan! - Surfing Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

awesome coaching crew. sons been doing summer surf camp for years. coach Ryan is amazing. son was grabbing rail and diggin those bottoms turns by the end of summer. read more

My kids were a bit doubtful about Surf camp. They thought they wouldn't get the attention they needed to learn surfing. After 2 days, they can't stop talking about how much they learned, how much fun they're having, and how they want to do this all summer! Very well organized, with friendly staff! Highly recommend! read more

I can't recommend Robbie and her instructors highly enough. My daughter has participated in her surf camp three times now (in Santa Monica and Redondo) and had amazing experiences each time. She has walked away loving all of the instructors, having made new friends and going from zero surfing experience to being confident enough to go out on her surf board all by herself! What they do so well is nurture your child's enthusiasm for surfing. You can see how their excitement grows over the course of the week. They play fun games and end the week with a really encouraging "surf competition" where everyone wins an award! The day after camp ended most recently my daughter begged to go to the beach and spent 5 hrs out on the water on her board surfing! Additionally, as my daughter started to become interested in surfing I felt like I needed to take a few lessons so I could be more knowledgeable to help her and because I'd always wanted to learn myself. I started In August of 2022 with Robbie's surf mom's group and haven't looked back! I am addicted! I have been driving weekly from Santa Monica to Redondo to be a part of this group because it is THAT special! Robbie, Ryan and the other instructors are hugely helpful in taking you from a total beginner to feeling like you can surf independently at any beach. I love how they have a new challenge for me every week even if the conditions aren't great. I always walk away with a great workout, new skills and a smile on my face. It is literally the most fun I have all week. The group of moms/women is the most supportive and encouraging group ever. We cheer each other on, communicate outside of Thursday's surf sessions and many of us have even gone away on the weekend long Surf Mom retreats hosted by Perfect Day (which I highly recommend)! Overall, stumbling upon Perfect Day surf has been the most perfect surprise! read more

My boys loved it. They are 8 & 10. Wonderful Teachers. Robbie was amazing. I wish I remembered the other teachers' names, they were fantastic. I've never seen them fall and get up so many times without being discouraged. The teachers cheered them on, as well as pointed out ways to improve. They also answered my questions about technique so that I can help the boys surf beyond the sessions. My boys asked to do it again. I'm excited they found a love for surfing. Thanks, Perfect Day, for everything! *We signed up through the Torrance Rec Summer Program. Tues and Thurs Classes (2 Sessions). read more

Everyone I met was very friendly! My two boys loved going to this camp each day and had a blast!

My daughter ( age 8) had a great time at this camp and is keen to go again. The drop off/pick up at Knob Hill steps is really easy. Also online booking and pizza ordering makes everything very easy too. Great that you can book individual days too. read more

We just finished our 6th summer in a row of Perfect Day Surf camp and every year my son is always bummed when it's over. Ryan, one of the coaches, is amazing and always makes the kids feel welcome and teaches in a special way. Highly recommend this camp! ‍ Thank you for a "Perfect" week! read more

Used Perfect Day for nephew and granddaughter. Both beginners. The instructor, Volney, was a terrific teacher and great motivator. He used the time efficiently and we definitely got what we paid for and more. Both kids learned a lot and were able to get up on the boards by the middle of the first Instruction. Would highly recommend for anyone interested in learning to surf. read more

Perfect day surf club has been a godsend for our family. My 11 year old daughter absolutely loves going & it has provided a much needed social/emotional outlet during Covid. The club meets 3x a week to surf and has movie nights & weekend overnight camp trips. I love seeing how the kids look up to the counselors. Robbie, Ryan, Frank & Todd are encouraging & supportive with the kids & somehow seem to have endless energy! My daughter has nothing but good things to say. This past Saturday, she slept in but rushed to get ready to surf with the club. I thought for sure she wouldn't go but she insisted & had a great time. So thankful for the new friends & sense of community the surf club has brought us. Highly recommend! read more

Robbie and Ryan are the best! They help you feel calm and confident in the water all while teaching the many things that go along with surfing. Moms surf days has created an amazing community that I am so stoked to be a part of! I have so much FUN and smile all day after a session with them! Equipment is provided, very knowledgeable, patient, and flexible! Surfing has no age limit- not too late to start! read more

I can't say enough good things about Perfect Day Surf Camp. I enrolled my little guy for this past spring surf camp and he had such a great experience, that we enrolled for the summer camp too! He could not stop talking about how much fun he had, the friends he made, and even the thrill of catching his first wave. I had full trust and confidence in their surf instructors, as safety is the top priority. If you are local to the Southbay, Hermosa beach area, or Santa Monica area and are looking for an awesome Surf camp, then Perfect Day surf camp is the way to go! This will be our new summer tradition, heck I may even join the surf mom's club, because why not? read more

I love this camp! My 5 year old never stops talking about it and my 9 year old wants a surfboard for his bday! They have learned so much and love all the instructors! Thank you for the awesome experience. We'll be back! read more

My kids had so much fun each day boogie boarding, learning to surf, playing games on the sand. We've tried soccer and science camps before and both kids ranked this at the top. One is six and the other is seven. They are mediocre swimmers in the pool so I was a little concerned but it wasn't a problem for them and the low ratio plus lifeguard were a comfort. The instructors were so patient with my kids and they came home each day happy and tired, chatting about the games they played and the waves they caught. read more

My 10 year old loves this camp. She had so much fun with the kids and counselors, we signed up for a 2nd week. Good Job Knob Hill crew

my son loved the week long camp. he learned surfing basics and ocean safety all while having a great time with kids of all ages. would do it again next summer. read more

Ryan and his team are fantastic. Our 7 year old did a few weeks of surf camp and had a great time and learned so much. I was a little hesitant since our kid is still learning to swim and hadn't surfed before, but they took great care of him, and have grown his love and confidence in the beach and ocean. read more

My son loves this camp and all counselors. He was very nervous first day that he can't make it or he would not get attention. But everything turned out so great. All he talks about now is this camp. He can't wait for the next day so he can learn new stuff and catch the wave. read more

My daughter had an amazing experience at Perfect Day Surf Camp's Junior Guard Prep Camp! We are not sure if she'll do junior guards, but she loves swimming in the ocean, so we wanted her to do it for ocean safety. She was apprehensive due to swimming in the ocean and not having any friends with her in the camp. At the end of the first day, she had a blast, and by day 3 she was begging us to sign her up for another week! The counselors made it all very fun for her - lots of games, etc. They also hired a sports psychologist to come talk to the kids about fear (in a fun way)! The following weekend, some mom friends unsolicitedly commented on what a great swimmer she is in the ocean. Can't say enough good things! We will definitely be back. read more
