Amanda was BEYOND helpful and generous with my last minute request for my kids' birthday. She was responsive, thoughtful, and affordable. I was grateful to have found her and work with her! Also, all the pieces she loaned us were high quality and in solid condition. They were perfect for my twins' birthday on the beach. I highly recommend their services! read more

Working with Amanda was amazing! She was able to customize the items for our beach party. She communicates in a timely manner. She went above and beyond. I would highly recommend working with her! We hosted a birthday party for my daughter and it was perfect! read more

I recently used Beachonista while I was in California (twice actually!), and it was such a great experience! Amanda is super responsive and really flexible, which made everything so easy. The beach gear was in great shape, and she made sure everything was perfect for our days by the ocean. If you need someone to set up beach stuff for you, definitely give Amanda a shout-- highly recommend it! read more

Amanda and her crew at Beachonista created the most outstanding beach party I could have ever imagined! Everyone attending, even the beach locals, were blown away! She thought of everything for everyone's comfort and enjoyment. It was beautifully inviting and festive throughout our 4-hour party. Amanda recommended the perfect location, close to everything such as volleyball courts, parking and bathrooms, but far enough away to feel like we had our own beach! Amanda coordinated everything and was on site to receive my large food/catering delivery (Mickie's Deli) where she has a working relationship and could advise me how to proceed with my order. She allowed me to bring some special items to her prior to the party date so I didn't have to carry the heavy items myself. This way I could relax and enjoy the happy occasion. The Beachonista crew handled everything! They set up, left us to our party with contact info if I needed anything, and reappeared after the party to break it all down, clean up and haul the umbrellas, beach chairs, towels, toys, tables, speaker and coolers so I didn't have to. Amanda was exceptional at communication and equally as exceptional in her heart and soul. She was so easy and pleasant to work with. She wanted a perfect party as much as I did and it was achieved because of her! I never could have pulled off a party of this size, on the sand, with everyone having such a fun time without Beachonista. I can't wait for my next beach party with them! read more

My family and I decided to have a special dinner before heading back to Arizona so I reserved a beach dining experience with The Beachonista. It was nothing short of spectacular! Between the prompt timing, the beautiful layout, and all of "little" accessories (such as strung lights above our meal, side table for the serving plates and blankets for the sunset) everything marked a wonderful memory making evening. read more

What a great night! The professional, and very sweet, Amanda went above and beyond to provide lovely and unique evening for my colleagues and I. We did the movie night on the beach and the experience insurmountably exceeded my expectations. 6/5 stars read more

Amanda was very responsive and beach rentals were great. Isaiah set up and took down the beach rental. He was very nice and helped us move our belongings from the beach to the street. Highly recommend! read more

UPDATED: The best paddle company out there, I enjoy coming here. Amanda and her team are the best people to work with. Very accommodating each time and such a fun place to bring visiting friends! Happy to be the first review! A group of friends and I went on Sunday and it was a blast! Amanda showed up early and had everything set up for us when we got there. Two of my friends had never been before so she showed them the basic tricks on how to paddle even sitting down in case they were too scared to fall or get hurt! It was truly an amazing day even though it was a little cloudy, the water felt warm when you dangled your feet! Thanks Amanda for a fab day! Will definitely be seeing you again soon xx read more

10/10 would recommend this place for any of their rentals. Amanda, the owner, is literally one of the nicest people I've met in Hermosa. I went to a skate sesh that Amanda organized having no previous experience. She walked me through the techniques/steps to ride a longboard with a paddle. I felt comfortable riding along the strand within half an hour! I had no idea longboarding would be this much fun and will definitely be returning for more skate seshes. We also wore hula skirts with lei's because... why not? read more

Beachonista was absolutely amazing!!!! Amanda was so nice and easy to work with. She was very responsive to email and stayed in touch throughout the whole organizing process. We had such a great time celebrating a birthday at the beach and the set up was adorable!!! Definitely a must!!! read more

My gf loved this for her 26th birthday. It was so beautiful and special. We had everything we needed. Thank you Amanda!

I had the most incredible time EVER! I ultimately chose The Beachonista vs other SUP places because of all the cool add-ons you can ad to your reservation (such as waterproof coolers, waterproof bag, Bluetooth speaker, waterproof case) and I did rent the waterproof pouch. Amanda was also incredibly nice and helpful when I spoke to her on the phone! She was helpful with tips and advice and made me feel really comfortable and welcome :) it was very windy out when I went, so for fear of getting stranded out in open water I only stayed inside the harbor. But I spent most of my time hanging by the sea lion barge and watching just observing the sea lions (at a safe distance of course). I really loved this experience and will definitely come back next time I'm in town again :) read more

My mentor and good friend introduce Amanda to me. And she is awesome!!!! She is always patient and friendly when teaching us skateboard. And we made it through just one lesson. I will definitely recommend her to any of you guys!!!! Love, Taro read more

This rental shop is awesome! Amanda, the owner, was really nice and helpful. Her shop is located right next to the beach and the boardwalk making it an extremely convenient place to rent from. The problem I have with most rentals are that they rent out beaten up skateboards and surfboards, but her gear seemed newer and worked really well! Would definitely recommend stopping by! read more

Amanda (shop owner) was amazing! We rented a land paddle / longboard from her and it turned out great. She went above and beyond to answer our questions and even gave us tips on where to take the board. Her shop has a great selection of longboards, surfboards, and other items to make your day more fun! The rentals are great prices too. Definitely will recommend the Beachonista shop above any shop in Hermosa Beach! read more

The best! So knowledgeable and capable. Highly recommend anyone looking to learn takes a lesson first. My first lesson was very memorable :-D read more

Took a lesson with The Beachonista and had a great experience! Amanda's positive and energetic personality made the whole time out on the water so much fun. I highly recommend =) read more

Never done this before but wow what an experience! Was so much fun, and what a great work out, Amanda has really opened my eyes to a whole new outlook on fitness and health. I never thought something so fun, could be such a great workout. Its kind of hard to get in the groove of standing up on a big surfboard then paddling with a paddle/oar and keeping you balance as you glide on the surface of the water. but once you get the hang of it and you can balance, you feel at peace with the water. Nothing else matters at that very moment. it's very freeing. After my lesson with Amanda I was hooked. I now own my very own paddle board and paddle out at least 3 times a week, Also I have lost 15lbs of body fat in the last 4 months and I owe it all to Amanda Koss. 11 out of 10 stars! read more

Amazing experience for a first timer like myself. Anything Paddle boarding, this is the place!

So glad my friend and I decided to be spontaneous and try paddle boarding! It was our first time and Amanda was so helpful and explained all the options. We ended getting a ride to take our boards to redondo beach harbor area. The water was calm and so glad we went there and not to Hermosa Beach because we would have probably been lost at sea (first time paddle boarders). Amanda was such a sweetheart and my friend and I want to thank you for setting us up and answering all our questions! The harbor was a cool little area and we saw other paddle boarders, kayakers, and small boats. We even paddled towards the sea lions to get a closer look, but beware.....they are stinkyyy! read more

I like to support small businesses and when you meet the owner, Amanda, you'll want to support her business as well. Smart, sweet and energetic, she'll hook you up with skateboards, SUP boards, electric vehicles, bikinis or laughter! Whatever you need, she can help make your beach day fantastic! ... even if you just want to bum around in your bare feet and drink at her stoop! She'll let you enjoy a lazy beach day in style! read more
