The coach-to-kid ratio is amazing and all the kids have the BEST time. Also, you have the option of going for 1.5 or 3 hours, so if you have a little one that tires out quickly, you don't have to pay for a whole day. The Hermosa Beach Cities website can be a little wonky to maneuver - but it's worth the few minutes to give your kid a week they will LOVE.

When school started I was tasked to plan a beach party to kick start the school year with some other families for the kindergarten class at our elementary school and I'm SO happy I broke away from the regular vendors that the school usually go to in the past. "Perfect Day Surf Camp" really did give us a SUCH A Perfect Day! The parents were happy to see a different group who brought in some new and fresh activities and the kids were happy that the activities were stuff that they could easily participate in! These are 5 year olds so it's no easy feat to keep them engaged but Perfect Day pulled it off! Most importantly, Robbie, the owner was AWESOME. She texts and emails - which I love because makes planning so much easier! PLUS, she was actually there to supervised and facilitate on the day of! The attending parents thought it was awesome too! Now I don't expect Robbie to be present at every event because her business was quite large. However we were really happy and grateful that the owner of the business was on site for our event because we knew things would get done right! There was some confusion , my fault for not reading the address listed on the contract clearly, about the meeting place on the day of the party however Robbie and her crew were on it! They quickly moved their stuff to our party site . It was just on the other side of the life guard tower, however they did have equipment and a tent already set up that they had to lug over so it wasn't easy but we so appreciate them for accommodating! Confirm the address with Robbie before the party! Don't be lame like me! Whomp Whomp!! Also! Have parents sign waivers before your party, but Robbie is a professional and actually brought waivers for all attending families to sign in person. Like I said she was on it and made things less stressful for us! So we've experience both with the surf camp and the beach party with Robbie and her crew and it's A+++++ all around! Highly Recommend! Thank you so much for giving us such a PERFECT DAY!!

Not only did my kids have a total blast, but the camp is run like a well oiled machine. You can order pizza for your kids lunch online ahead of time so you don't have to make their lunches - and they'll LOVE you for it! You can order hats for your campers ahead of time too. And at the end of the week the moms get a free hat as well. Who doesn't love a freebie?! All the camp staff and counselors were kind, energetic and helpful with the kids. There's all kinds of fun things to do on the beach - not just surfing. They play all types of fun beach games . The counselors help the kids with everything. All the kids have to do is decide which fun things they want to do. It's all offered everyday. There's also plenty of shade if the kids need a break from the sun. The drop off and pick up was super smooth. Which is pretty impressive since it happens in the walk streets of Manhattan Beach where it can get pretty congested. But they have a staff member waiting to receive kids as they get dropped off. Then they inform the crew on the beach that your kids have arrived on a two-way radio and send the kids to the crew waiting on the beach. All very safe and smooth! This camp has clearly been operating long enough that they have it all figured out. But since it's run by moms, they have that certain attention to detail, only a mom would be able to do! We will definitely be back next summer. Both my kids and I enjoyed this camp very much!

He helped them catch waves, he goes out there with them and sets them up for success. They had boards and wetsuits for the kids to wear if you don't have your own.

My youngest is just learning to boogie board so he was more comfortable with that and only going out with Brandon, which I'm totally fine with as long as he tries. My oldest was able to catch waves on his first day, Brandon really helps and gives one on one instruction. The kids were friendly and my kids had fun.

I was initially bummed to find out that the camp I wanted to send my kids to during our week in Manhattan Beach was full. That's what happens when you wait to book last minute. However, GoSurfing ended up being a much better option for us. We did 2 hours of private lessons each day (Monday - Friday) during our stay, and it worked out perfectly. Kevin was super patient and kind and provided such incredible instruction that my kids (who were brand new to surfing) were both up within the first couple of days. GoSurfing provided boards for us and met us in a convenient spot on the beach. They also provide wetsuits if needed. (We happened to have our own). I found the pricing reasonable, and highly recommend GoSurfing for surfers of all ages and levels. Thanks again, guys! We all hope to see you again soon.

If you want to learn how to surf definitely choose GoSurfing! My teacher Stokke was extremely…read moreknowledgeable and catered the lesson to my abilities. The lesson was customized to what I wanted to achieve. I was taught valuable insight on surfing that helped translate to me riding my first waves, and as we advanced, Stokke adapted his teaching style and language so I could execute those changes needed. GoSurfing has top notch gear from the wetsuit to the board. I actually popped off the tags of the brand new wetsuit I used! I give GoSurfing A+ across the board.

After reading the reviews on Yelp I thought I would schedule a lesson with Pacific Coast Surf Company. Knowing that I would need a patient instructor and after reading the reviews in Yelp, I figured that I would give Pacific Coast Surf Company a try. Emily suggested we do the lesson in Redondo Beach. I met her down at the beach and she was very professional and asked me what I wanted to work on. After explaining that I needed help with my pop up and timing on catching waves we did some dry land training before we paddled out. Once out in the water she was very patient and saw all of the areas of improvement that I needed. We worked on some things in the water and came back on the sand so she could show me some things before we paddled back out again. Emily is an awesome surf coach and was an excellent teacher for a novice level surfer. If you are looking take lessons I highly recommend her.

I was looking to book a two-person lesson as a surprise date situation for myself and my special lady friend. I explained the deal to Emily via email and she responded immediately and enthusiastically and recommended Redondo beach because there would be plenty of free street parking on a weekday morning (bonus!). Emily is really observant, kind, patient, and encouraging. This was not only the best first time surfing lesson I could have asked for it also turned out to be a total hit with my date. Emily was really stoked by our stoke and all in all it was a stoketastic day.

We are definitely coming back for more surf lessons. If you want to learn give them a call.
