They were cool and enjoyed themselves during the lesson which made it fun for me. You can tell right away they have lots of experience in the water. I had fun and learned a lot from Carlos and Rod!" As the chauffeur and master scheduler, I appreciated how easy it was to schedule, the communication and confirmation, and the feedback both coaches provided about my son's session. We've had the best experience with Let's Go Surf School!

Mike was fantastic--super knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. He gave a thorough lesson on land, making sure my daughter was comfortable before hitting the water. I hear her saying..."he was such a good instructor" right now. What really stood out was the extra care he provided. He had a shaded tent set up for us with water and fresh fruit, which was such a thoughtful touch. Mike goes above and beyond, clearly sharing his love for the sport with the world because he genuinely enjoys it. We had a great time, and I'm definitely coming back with friends. Highly recommend! Teacher & student. Day 1. :)

Cat and…read moreDom are really good and caring instructors who prepared us with solid basic dry land instructions and made sure we are comfortable getting in the water. FYI, we haven't even been at the beach since covid. So, yeah... first time in the water in a while and learning how to surf. With great instructors anything is possible and it is never too late to learn something new. In the water they made sure we were safe and guided us thoroughly. My wife was able to stand on the board on her first wave. It was really fun. I needed more help and they were always there to coach us right along. We are definitely coming back for more surf lessons. If you want to learn give them a call.

The communication was excellent, responses were prompt, and the team genuinely cared about helping my niece achieve her goal--standing up on a surfboard (just like she dreamed!). They didn't just focus on the end result--they spent over two hours patiently working with her, correcting her form, and building her confidence every step of the way. Cat is amazing, Bjorn was incredibly patient and encouraging, and Rosa was so sweet! We couldn't have asked for a better team. Highly, highly recommend!

I came back to Huntington Beach 2 weeks later with my boys and booked private lessons for all 3 of us per recommedation from the owners. They matched the instructors with each of us very well. Mine was 6'3" and could easily handle holding my board and helping me figure it out. My 10 yr old instructor had him surfing within 45min on day 1. The young lady instructing my 7yr old adjusted board, and had him up and surfing on day 2. At 56, with 3 knee injuries, including a torn meniscus, was able to stand up finally on day 3, 4 times, in some frothy (yet not too big) waves. The beach area is an ideal learning platform as it has no rocks, coral, or other obstructions underwater except lots of hard packed sand. In the end we had a special father & sons memory of learning to surf together. We were all successful. We had an amazing time, and the staff could not have been more helpful, encouraging, and supportive. I highly recommend private lessons, because I feel like the ROI is 90+% with private lessons, and about 45-55% with group lessons. IMO group lessons can be good later on as refresher.
