I had the BEST experience here! It was my first time ever trying surfing and David was a great instructor. Super professional, patient and fun.

Robbie was also... read more super awesome, and took the best photos of us while we surfed. Would 100% recommend trying this spot, especially if you’re new to surfing!!

  Erik was our instructor, he was very friendly and easy going. First up, I don’t know swimming. I felt very comfortable despite me not knowing how to swim. I took... read more a couple of breaks and was able to surf after I fell flat many times. But hey, I did it. 🙂 thanks to Erik.

  I have had a few lessons and needed to challenge myself by going out past the break. Edward helped me push myself by getting out further and taking my lesson... read more to the next level! I highly recommend Edward as an instructor! I will be back soon! Thanks, John Dixon from Idaho

  Pacific Surf School is top notch! My wife and I took a lesson with David and he was an exceptional instructor. He was extremely professional, patience and very knowledgeable! Most... read more importantly he was fun, and made the experience fun, which is what surfing is all about! He took the the time to explain and demonstrate different pop-up methods. Also showed us how to properly shift weight and keep your center of balance. And as promised, he had us up and riding waves in no time! I have experience in surfing but its been many years since I've been on a board. I've always found it difficult to be in the correct position when catching waves on longer surfboards (very different catching small waves on a heavy long board compared to a small body board using flippers). David immediately saw that I was positioning myself incorrectly and as soon as he adjusted me I was catching waves much easier. He also was making suggestions on paddling techniques and shifting the body as you are positioning to catching a wave. Little tips and suggestions like that make the experience so much better, and this is now something I can work off on my own to improve my skills. I was also drilling David with all types of questions after our session (positioning on the board, pop up techniques, board types & sizes, wet suit questions) and he answered all of them in detail and without hesitation. Overall an incredible experience with David & crew and I would recommend them to anyone! If you are in San Diego, take a surf lesson! And be sure to take it with Pacific Surf School!!
