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!!

  We did a group lesson for 10 people and later rented surf boards. Our lesson was taught by Heather and Toco, who were exceptionally supportive and helpful. None of us... read more had ever surfed before, so we were taught how to stand up in a brief on-land lesson before getting it.The lesson was an amazing experience that gave us enough confidence to try by ourselves, leading us to rent.

  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!

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!!
