I have been there 5 years ago. I was already nervous going in, but the instructors made me more…read morenervous. One of them was ok, but the rest were terrible. One instructor was a fat Hispanic woman who kept hitting me every time I made a mistake. Another was an old woman who kept criticizing every mistake I made. Another one was vaping in the car and did not care at all. Eventually, I just stopped going. To be honest, this experience made me not want to drive anymore.

I brought my friends and took my first two lessons with Chris so far, and those were fun and…read morevaluable. Chris is such a chill guy and he's also a good instructor. Everything he taught was easy to understand and to follow. If you're the first time surfer or someone who hasn't surf for a while and want to have a refresh lesson, I'd definitely recommend for Chris!

Such a great driving school, I highly recommend them. I went there after an extremely horrible…read moreexperience with a previous school and I did not regret it, wish I had discovered them first.

Yasssss I just had a terrific Sunday morning session with NYC Surfing with Jay (the main man) +…read moreTravis (fellow coach) on 67th St Rockaways. So what am I looking for in a surf school / instructor? Obviously the coaching - I want someone who will be honest + tell me what I'm doing right / wrong. I want to know what I can do on land to improve my surfing. I want to get some seriously awesome tips on how to better my game. But I also want a cool human being to hang with for 1.5hrs. Someone who is personable, fun, engaging. And you get all of that with NYC Surfing. My friend (surf newbie) who joined us was super nervous + she was made to feel comfortable. I was able to catch a bunch of waves thanks to the detailed instruction. Loved it! I'll be back! I've found my NYC surf coaching home! ‍

He's an excellent instructor, very knowledgeable and was very aware of everything I was doing and everything that was going on in the water. I can't wait to go again!

He made sure to give every student some one-on-one instruction even within the group class. He prioritizes safety and is very encouraging and generous to students!

I waited until the summer and he held my outstanding lesson hostage until I wrote a good review for sierra surf school. I wrote one and therefore he finally agreed to schedule my prepaid lesson. I show up for my lesson and he completely stood me up. I spent an hour waiting for him to show up and nothing. Very unprofessional. I have yet to get a refund or the last lesson.

I highly recommend New York Surf School. I booked a 4 hour (double-session) because I figured it…read morewould take a me a while to get the hang of it. The water was 65 degrees, but with the wet suit they provided I felt comfortable the whole time. The board was a 9 foot foam top with three fins. Angela provided on-beach instruction on how to paddle and pop-up -- which was pretty quick, so we got right in the water. Andrew took us in the water and we started catching waves right away. He puts you in just the right position and gives you a push and tells you when to pop-up. We basically caught a ton of waves all day with tips on form throughout. Andrew is very nice and a pleasure to hang with. The waves were small, maybe 2 to 3 feet, but it was perfect for learning how to stand up and ride straight in to the beach.

I really recommend going surfing in the Rockaways if you're looking for a fun activity to do…read more My biggest regret was not going to Rockaway Beach more frequently because of how accessible by public transportation it is.....it just takes a bit of time depending on where you live. I've surfed before, but wanted to try this school out since it's been a while and was unfamiliar with the waves. I did the $90 group package and it was definitely worth it. They provided the wetsuit and board, so all you had to bring was yourself. The instructors were super friendly and encouraging. The guy I had did a really great job of just simply explaining key points so you can get on your board and ride. The amount of time spent surfing is plentiful and you will have a ton of chances to ride nice waves. My recommendation is to google the wave heights and coordinate the best time to ride. Would definitely do it again, and I think for next year I'm contemplating on buying a 10-pack package so I can go more often. Surfs Up!
