    I just started surfing just under a year ago and hit a plateau on my pop up, so I decided to take a…read morelesson. After reading the reviews on Yelp I thought I would schedule a lesson with Pacific Coast Surf Company. Knowing that I would need a patient instructor and after reading the reviews in Yelp, I figured that I would give Pacific Coast Surf Company a try. Emily suggested we do the lesson in Redondo Beach. I met her down at the beach and she was very professional and asked me what I wanted to work on. After explaining that I needed help with my pop up and timing on catching waves we did some dry land training before we paddled out. Once out in the water she was very patient and saw all of the areas of improvement that I needed. We worked on some things in the water and came back on the sand so she could show me some things before we paddled back out again. Emily is an awesome surf coach and was an excellent teacher for a novice level surfer. If you are looking take lessons I highly recommend her.

I was looking to book a two-person lesson as a surprise date situation for myself and my special lady friend. I explained the deal to Emily via email and she responded immediately and enthusiastically and recommended Redondo beach because there would be plenty of free street parking on a weekday morning (bonus!). Emily is really observant, kind, patient, and encouraging. This was not only the best first time surfing lesson I could have asked for it also turned out to be a total hit with my date. Emily was really stoked by our stoke and all in all it was a stoketastic day.

    We are complete beginners in our 50s and this was our very first time learning how to surf. Cat and…read moreDom are really good and caring instructors who prepared us with solid basic dry land instructions and made sure we are comfortable getting in the water. FYI, we haven't even been at the beach since covid. So, yeah... first time in the water in a while and learning how to surf. With great instructors anything is possible and it is never too late to learn something new. In the water they made sure we were safe and guided us thoroughly. My wife was able to stand on the board on her first wave. It was really fun. I needed more help and they were always there to coach us right along. We are definitely coming back for more surf lessons. If you want to learn give them a call.

    I wish I could give 10 stars! From start to finish, this was…read morean outstanding service experience. The communication was excellent, responses were prompt, and the team genuinely cared about helping my niece achieve her goal--standing up on a surfboard (just like she dreamed!). They didn't just focus on the end result--they spent over two hours patiently working with her, correcting her form, and building her confidence every step of the way. Cat is amazing, Bjorn was incredibly patient and encouraging, and Rosa was so sweet! We couldn't have asked for a better team. Highly, highly recommend!

    Huge thanks to Tommy and Kevin at GoSurfing for an incredible week of surf lessons for my kids (7…read moreand 9)! I was initially bummed to find out that the camp I wanted to send my kids to during our week in Manhattan Beach was full. That's what happens when you wait to book last minute. However, GoSurfing ended up being a much better option for us. We did 2 hours of private lessons each day (Monday - Friday) during our stay, and it worked out perfectly. Kevin was super patient and kind and provided such incredible instruction that my kids (who were brand new to surfing) were both up within the first couple of days. GoSurfing provided boards for us and met us in a convenient spot on the beach. They also provide wetsuits if needed. (We happened to have our own). I found the pricing reasonable, and highly recommend GoSurfing for surfers of all ages and levels. Thanks again, guys! We all hope to see you again soon.

    If you want to learn how to surf definitely choose GoSurfing! My teacher Stokke was extremely…read moreknowledgeable and catered the lesson to my abilities. The lesson was customized to what I wanted to achieve. I was taught valuable insight on surfing that helped translate to me riding my first waves, and as we advanced, Stokke adapted his teaching style and language so I could execute those changes needed. GoSurfing has top notch gear from the wetsuit to the board. I actually popped off the tags of the brand new wetsuit I used! I give GoSurfing A+ across the board. If you are new to surfing, have surfed before, or need a refresher check out GoSurfing. - Beau from MN who rode his first waves because of GoSurfing and Stokke!

    I'm relatively new to surfing, and particularly stand-up paddle boarding, but as I got into it I…read morewas tired of borrowing or renting boards from people, so I decided to look into buying one for myself. I researched online a bit and asked around, and I was referred to Greco Surf through an old college buddy who was the biggest surfer I knew. I'm so glad I took his advice because I love my SUP. I'm not the smallest guy in the world, but the buoyancy of the board amazes me, and I feel so comfortable on it. The entire process to buy it was actually quite easy and simple: their customer service was great; mellow and relaxed. They took the time to answer some questions I had about the boards/process; just super helpful. And I was also pleasantly surprised at both the quality, and turnaround, of the shipping. All in all, my experience with this company couldn't have been better, and I would, and will, recommend Greco Surf to anyone looking for a quality board.

The staff is very friendly and spot on. I opted for the Will Roger's State Park location over the Venice Beach option and was very happy I did. In fact I recommend you try Will Roger's State Park.

So I wanted to keep an extra set of eyes on him and ended up hanging around out of site so we wouldn't be distracted by me, but close by so I would feel comfortable knowing how he'd respond to the instructors. I think they were fine with me being even closer but I stayed a little further away so my child would really focus on them. Also, it was his first surf lesson so I didn't want to miss it! What I saw had me grinning the entire time. When my son wanted to push the limits and travel a little too far out where I was ready to run in after him, instructors were pulling the kids back. They had their eyes on him. And there was a dedicated staff member standing on the beach keeping their eyes on the entire group whenever they were in the water. And it was amazing to see my kid stand up on the board for the first time ever. And the way he jumped and kept going - it was clear he was SO happy the entire time. Not my kid, but there was clearly a little one who was not comfortable with the waves. I don't know the full story, but what I saw was an instructor holding that child the ENTIRE camp in the water. That kid got to be as close to the water as they were comfortable, the instructors never sat her aside to play in the sand, they were clearly trying to get her comfortable and making sure she had some water experience. Props to you all for investing in every child at every level. Props to the instructors, we hope to return if schedules allow this summer. The only request I have is to put kids in bright orange/yellow/green rash guards instead of the blue ones. It was easy to see the instructors in the orange, but I would feel better if we could REALLY see the kids from the sand in water safe colors. That's it - THANK YOU again for a great day. My son really loved it and was so proud of what he accomplished in that short time with you.
