Best introduction to surfing a gal could ever have. It began with a half day lesson resulting in…read moreenough success--and plenty of failure--to catch the surfing bug. I ended up renting a beginner board from the shop for the next three days, calling every afternoon to ask if I could extend my rental of the board and wetsuit "just one more day." I had recently turned 50 and the encouragement I received from owner who was a woman of a similar "vintage" was gold. When I finally brought my board back after 4 days I felt like I had been adopted into the surfing tribe...a tribe with a rare woman surf shop owner generously opening the door. This experience was in July 2019-finally writing a review. I Westside Surf!

I loved my 1st surfing lesson, despite major body image feelings associated with wetsuits and/or…read moreany male-dominated sports likes surfing. The staff were attitude-less and kind hearted. I feared not being able to fit into a wetsuit and the embarrassment of it all. The store manager reassured me that it was a non-issue, and was very discreet. I think i got a men's size. Oh well! The instructors, Heath and Shannon, were the bestest sweetest boys. Super laid back, as you'd expect. I will be back! My only complaint is that i'd like more time in the water, and a bit of time at the end to snap some pics of our tired selves with surfboards and silly grins.

What an amazing experience. Raph was great to deal with and our instructor Max was awesome. He was…read moresuper friendly and a great instructor. We are staying at Raph's coach house (little blue cabin on airbnb which is am awesome place to stay).

I highly recommend learning with these guys. They are great!

Carter was our instructor for the group lesson, and Mark was also there helping out when he could.

I didn't want to get out of the water when we had to leave, thanks again everyone for an awesome day!
