Shoutout to Dylan, who was super helpful and kind while we searched for the right boards, and even gave us shop stickers! This is definitely my favorite skate shop in LA, and I definitely recommend it!!

Michael Zippi is a surfboard shaper...and he is damn good at what he does. He only makes one type…read moreof surfboard and he's got it down to a science. Zippi shapes fish and his fish are the best fish you can find. Those of you who know about fish, know that they excel in small surf and that they paddle into waves easily. The down side to most fish, however, is that they have a tendency to "spin out" in larger, steeper surf. Their width and thickness compromise their ability to hold a line. This is not true for Zippi's fish. They paddle just as easily and can hold a line in waves that other fish cannot. This is why his boards are referred to as high-performance fish, and man are they fun. Very responsive, yet loose, and they're gorgeous to look at too. Zippi is as accomplished as an air-brusher as he is a shaper. Stunning boards. People are always commenting on mine and asking where I got it. Where do you get one? Well, you can find them in local surf shops, but I would definitely recommend going to Zippi directly. He'll make one to your specifications and custom paint it, all for about the same amount of money, or even less then the shops are charging. If your not sure about the size, width, thickness, etc. he's more than happy to help you with that. He'll even let you demo boards to find what's right for you. He's a really cool guy. Oh yeah, and the turnaround on a board order is only about 2 weeks or so, so you don't have to wait too long to get that board you're jonesing for. If you're looking for a fish, look no further...these ARE the droids you're looking for. He has a customer in me for life, I think.

I just started surfing just under a year ago and hit a plateau on my pop up, so I decided to take a…read morelesson. 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.

I yelped "surf lessons" and I pretty much called 5 different ones. I left a message in the morning for inquiry and Steve called me back by noon. Our initial convo was awesome. He answered all my questions and put me at ease with my decision to sign my daughter up for a lesson, then we agreed on a time. We met with him on a Saturday morning at 10am at Torrance beach. This beach is clean and lovely. Plenty of parking and not overcrowded like other popular beaches. Steve went through safety with my daughter and the rest of the family. I really appreciated that he included us in his instruction. He kept it open for questions and he was very easy going. I signed a waiver, of course then my daughter went out to the water and caught some waves and even stood up on the board! Amazing! It was such a joy to watch her learn something out of her element. She was pretty scared and nervous upon meeting Steve, but he completely put her at ease and gave her the encouragement she needed to do great. I highly recommend South Bay surf sessions!
