TRIP ADVISOR REVIEWS

star ratingA great experience & awesome photos! - My son (ages 7, 12 & 14) and I took a lesson at Pacific Surf school and had the BEST time. As first timers I didn’t think any of us would actually be able to get up on the surf board- but I was wrong. Our instructor, Russell, was so awesome and we all got up. Russell gave really simple, clear instructions. We spent just the right amount of time on a quick land lesson and then got right into the waves. This was overall a great experience with my kids. I would highly recommend the school to anyone thinking of taking a lesson.
I’m also so glad I signed up for the photo package. We got some amazing shots- including one of all of us standing at once. My kids love seeing the pictures of themselves in action and the photos are a great keepsake of the experience.

star ratingFirst Time Surfer - This was the most fun I've had in a while. My instructor Chris taught me the basics and gave a lot of insight into surfing as a sport and a lifestyle. Plus I got a lot of cool photos because I purchased the photo package. It's all worth it and then some!

star ratingGreat experience - They provided everything we needed for first time surfing lessons. The instructor we had was knowledgeable and had a great attitude. We didn’t get the photo session in advance but they had some available to purchase after which was really nice. Would do this again and recommend to family/friends
