I wish I was there another few days so I could have learnt few more sessions. If you ever want to learn Surfing or want your kids to learn Surfing, Ventura Makos is your go to place!

BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT ON MY GRANDCHILDREN!!!!!!!!…read more WITHOUT RESERVATION. I highly recommend this sutf camp. First and foremost, the owner Rodrigo Cardenas is one of the most accommodating people I have ever dealt with. He is kind and reassuring. He made sure both my grandchildren got in the same camp. Now let's talk About the manager, Kyle.. Kyle is one of the most attentive, passionate, Supervisor, oginized people I have observed. He loves the kids and puts thier safty first. Both Kyle and All the surf coaches are constantly reminding the kids to hydrate, rest and re-apply sunscreen....They work together as a team, to not only teach each camper learns how to surf, but how to encourage others..to surf, have fun, and be safe. I wish I could remember the name of all the coaches. But I'm 62 and my memory fails me. But I have to say Nate does stand out. While all the coaches are extremely encouraging with the kids and are very professional. And it is obvious that they care for the campers, I can tell that coaching is Nate's passion. He has an amazing lifestyle. He coaches surfing all summer and snowboarding in the winter. And never sell any of the female coaches short., They are amazing women. I feel a bit embarrassed that I can't remember all of their names.. It is not because they didn't leave an impression on me, it is simply my memory.. Every single one of them, all the male coaches and female coaches are amazing people.. It is very hard to impress me when it comes to how people treat one another. And especially when it comes to how people treat children. But every one of these people left a deep impression.. My grandchildren felt cared for as well as they felt like they were really taught something. Truthfully my granddaughter everything athletic comes super easy to her. My grandson, on the other hand., It's very intelligent. But anything athletic comes with a bit of a challenge for him.. But believe me, they taught him how to surf. The look on his face when he finally conquered the waves was A look I will never forget.. I thank God for this camp. I really believe it was a divine appointment when I called Rodrigo. God is so good.. I really believe this was The perfect camp for my grandchildren..

I didn't really know what to expect sending a 4 year old to surf camp but whoever my expectations were, this camp completely exceeded them. The ratio of counselors to kids was outstanding and the counselors were caring, patient, and you could tell they enjoyed their jobs. My kids made great friends, had a blast, and were up surfing right away with lots of encouragement and help when needed. Little kids, like my 4 year old, take turns going out one on one with an instructor and get to catch waves like everyone else. It's amazing, safe, and a great value for what you pay. Did i mention that there's a pizza party the last day of camp? The whole thing was an incredible experience and we can't wait to do it again.

I asked the "moms of Ventura" Facebook group for recommendations and Mary Osborne's Surf Camp was a clear favorite among the group. At first I was reluctant to send a 5 year old to surf camp but after speaking with Mary and learning that the teacher: student ratio for the littler kids was 1:1, I was warming up to the idea. What really sold me though was how warm and lovely Mary was on the phone. She wasn't pushy AT ALL about signing up- she even told me to wait until the first day to sign up/ pay in case my daughter was really afraid and didn't want to do it. My daughter was a little reluctant about surfing but the counselors/ instructors eased her into it and by the 4th day, she was standing up on the board, riding the wave! I highly recommend this camp!

We called asking about longboards and Tony told us to come in and check out what he has. As soon as we walked in, I felt uncomfortable. He was looking me up and down and it felt he was already assessing my level of ability based on size. When we told Tony we were looking for boards he suggested soft top boards. Not a problem but we told him we had been learning on glass boards and preferred looking at those. He then proceeded to say "Oh! So you're popping up and riding waves? Wow. Not to sound like I'm better than you but most people who learn from non professionals are already doing 5/6 things wrong..." I then immediately walked out. Tony was extremely disrespectful and made my husband and I both uncomfortable. Do not recommend coming in at all. Highly would suggest not coming in if you are a woman of any larger build.
