I didn't become a pro but after about 1.5 hours I was able to catch and ride. My wife was doing even better. Few weeks later we came back with our friends and their 10 year old kids. Everyone enjoyed it a lot. The girl was a little hesitant at first but by the end of the lesson we couldn't pull her out of the water. Thank you Dan for a great lessons & vibe

I spoke with SlyDog the next morning, and throughout the rest of the week they really took his time with him. He ended up loving everything about the experience once he felt safe. There are a decent number of instructors in the water watching and guiding, and they do an outstanding job with the kids, he was surfing by the end of the second day, and had an absolute blast. I highly recommend these guys! This year he wants to master surfing and we're signed up for several back-to-back weeks. Counting the seconds!

Just wanted to shout out about the best time of our lives surfing…read more This could only happen with two of the best instructors we had the privilege to learn and enjoy surfing with. Day 1 was Piper and she was amazing not only with making us feel comfortable but taking the time to teach but also very knowledgeable and supportive. Day 2 was Cayla. To anyone out there that is nervous or skeptical about learning how to surf , well she was amazing not only with her knowledge but her very friendly demeanor and positive support. To all out there!!!! These girls will make you feel comfortable and most of all enjoy it and make memories forever . We travel a lot and do a lot of things like this with lessons in water sport. If you have any doubt about the cost or instructor or just have fun and LEARN.. This is the place and Piper and Cayla or the ones you want to fulfill your memories. NO JOKE, this is the place if you want to have fun and enjoy your vacation and pretend for a day that you can ‍ surf! Great pricing! Great Instructors! Top notch

Luck would have it, my assistant chose this company to book my first surf lesson ever. Justin was…read morenot only clear, concise and knowledgeable, he also had me laughing the entire time and set me completely at ease in the water. I sincerely feel sorry for the other group having a lesson next to me with another company. They were missing waves, being knocked over and it seemed more like the instructor was just there to rent out surfboards. Ethos actually focused on the basics then got me on waves and helped me feel confident and comfortable within minutes of the lesson starting. I am already planning on coming back with my friend in a few weeks, then bringing my children for a lesson this summer.

Abraham was paired with our boys and we appreciated that he was very cognizant of our 8 yo's safety and was super friendly, encouraging, etc. We will be going back for more lessons for sure. Check out the two pics. They are worth a thousand words! Fantastic experience. Thank you for making this a great memory for us.

This surf school exceeded every expectation from start to finish…read more The instructors were patient, knowledgeable, encouraging, and made everyone feel comfortable in the water regardless of skill level. My son felt confident with Rich as his instructor. The equipment was great, the instruction was clear, and the entire experience and now my son has the confidence to go out on his own. If you're looking for a surf school that combines professionalism, positivity, and success, I recommend Blue Bus Surf Lessons. Highly recommend for kids, teens, beginners, families, or anyone wanting to learn how to surf.

Goff made the entire experience AMAZING from start to finish. The way he explains how to surf guarantees success. My son was up and surfing on the first runs and just got better with each wave. Goffs' photo/video partner, Ann, was on shore taking videos. She used them to show/help him surf even better each time he went back in the water. This is an adventure he will never forget and he even has an amazing photo collection and a cool video to relive the experience. Hopefully, we will be back for more surfing and I'd book Goff, without a doubt! Thank you!

*****Perfect***** My…read moreyoungest is an avid swimmer in the pool and in the ocean. She swims and body surfs. She already had fins and knows the Newport and Laguna waters well. She even has done Laguna and Crystal Cove Junior Guards. However, she just wouldn't try surfing with me. So, I enrolled her in a private lesson. I spoke to Amy on the phone and she understood. She recommended Jorge because he has kids of his own. Jorge was great. Right away she hopped up and rode wave after wave. He was proactive at identifying good waves and giving her a slight push with verbal instructions. Afterwards, she kept asking me for a board and to go back surfing.. Even if you are a great surfer, there are many advantages of getting a lesson for your child. They have wet suits and giant foam boards. This saves money instead of going out and spending two or three hundred when your kid might not even like it. Using a larger board is the way to go and it eliminates the frustrations of learning on a shorter board. Jorge was great. He was proactive, engaging, and well versed with kids. I ended up buying a used foam board for her to practice more on. As she progresses, she can get a regular board This is a great place to take a lesson. Open communication and the follow-through makes me a fan and then some! Don't just go to the beach and take selfies to post. That behavior ruins the beach and it's a stupid way to live a fake life. Take a lesson and get in the water. Enjoy the ocean for all it has and have someone else take real pictures of you enjoying it! A nickel says you will have a blast Or, give your kids a great experience they will always remember. They make it easy here!

We weren't sure how it would go, but coach Elliot made all the difference. He was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding of our son's needs. The first couple of attempts were tough- our son was nervous about riding the waves and facing the unknown. But coach Elliot never rushed him and offered steady encouragement the whole time. By the third try, everything changed- we saw a big smile on our son's face, thank you Coach Elliot for creating such a positive and supportive experience!

Buyer Beware! Shockingly this company stole $700+ dollars from us. Our two boys were scheduled for…read morea week of surf camp. We received a text message at 7pm on Sunday, the night before camp asking us to change our time (we could not change because we had other plans scheduled), not to mention, you text at 7pm the night before? We asked for a refund, they agreed. Here we are nearly 1 month later and they have not returned the money. It is beyond bizarre. There are many more reputable companies we have had good experience with. See text correspondence with the company below, it is the same # listed on the website. We will be pressing forward with legal action. Im guessing the owner spent the money and just doesnt have the cash to pay me? The owner has commented to this review, and again, I think it lacks honesty, see my photo's for proof. She states she canceled the camp due to rough surf conditions, #1. the surf conditions were very calm, see attached historical weather report. #2. Her text message led with, other kids have unenrolled, WE HAVE LOW NUMBERS and would like to cancel. (they are smart, she may have tried to steal their money too). see Screenshots. This is a masterclass on what not to do, if you own a company and royally mess up. Just own it. Please return our money.
