As a long time wannabe surfer, iSurf was the perfect way to start my journey. Scheduling your…read morelesson is super easy, and if the weather isn't cooperating, rescheduling is too. Thomas was our instructor and he helped us with everything from parking to properly putting on your wetsuit to surfing basic info to technique practice (on land) to helping us catch our first waves! I felt capable after the first lesson. Heading over to book the surf club membership now :) Thanks so much Thomas & iSurf team!

I was so happy.my first lesson. I caught my first wave at 46 years old. I was stoked and motivated…read more Then my second lesson at 9am at Mondos Thomas, my instructor met me with a couple other girls that seemed a little more experienced than me but I was willing to take notes. But then it got weird. Feeling out of place with the group, I must have said something awkward that was misunderstood by Tom. When I asked about switching days to make up my monthly classes and to credit that I had already paid for, he disqualified me and said he no longer wanted to work with me. I was genuinely hurt. I really wanted to learn and he made me feel like I was this terrible person for saying something that was misunderstood. I still remember how bad my experience was, that I'm afraid to go out and try again . Maybe I would have "clicked better with a women instructor, but Tom was mean and hurtful.

I took a surf lesson with Joshua and it was such an epic experience! I had never really surfed…read morebefore, and was super nervous. Joshua was super patient, and made me feel really comfortable. He was super flexible around our schedule, and we even ended up surfing with a pod of dolphins around us--it was truly one of the best experiences ever! Couldn't recommend enough, will definitely be booking another lesson!

Had another great day in the ocean for my second lesson, Noah was a great coach. The surf was a…read morelittle heavier this time, still it was a lot of fun. Noah was very personable and patient, we had a great conversation and I learned a couple of things. He even left me with some resources to look at if I continue surfing. Even if you are not very athletic or you are a little older (like me), you will have a good experience at Santa Barbara Surf School based on the lessons I had with Spencer and Noah.

Vanessa is the best!…read more - Super patient, she reassured all my apprehensions in the days leading up to the lesson. - On the shore, she was an excellent teacher. - In the water, she was encouraging and a great cheerleader. If you're interested in surfing but not interested in the typical less-than-patient bro surf instructors at most LA surf schools, Vanessa is your gal :)

We loved surfing with Vanessa! She was great with our kids (7, 10 and 13) and even got my wife…read more(scared of the ocean) into the water and riding some waves. Her communication was excellent as we were booking our two lessons. She took care of everything and was responsive to our requests.

You'll love your lesson too!

We have been taking our daughter to Wendy's swim class for over a year now. The first day of class…read moreit is hard to see your baby cry because the swim experience is new (the pool is heated & babies are always supervised by 1-2 adults with swim jackets) but after just 1-2 classes our daughter was LOVING swimming!! If we miss a class our daughter notices & tells us! "Swimming!!" Wendy knows how EXACTLY how to work with babies & teach them swimming. One of the most impressive things they learn is if they fall in the pool they learn to put their arms up, reach for the side and climb out of the pool-this is HUGE for pool safety should your baby somehow manage to fall in!! We have had so many compliments from other parents while on vacation about how well our daughter swims for her age. Thank you Wendy & crew! We will be enrolling our son as soon as he is old enough too!

We absolutely love it there!!! The facilities are always clean and tidy and the staff is amazing. They start the babies out with small classes which help with repetition and really learning the basics, and then move them on to privates which really focus on technique and skill. We look forward to swim every week and intend to continue going well into the girls joining their swim team. Thank you Wendy and team!!!
