Great location, instructor, and surfing experience! - The instructor was knowledgeable and great. Logistically easy meet up. Lots of time in the water and up on the board, and a really memorable experience overall.

Highly recommend - Alex Lorenzo and Bart have been incredibly patient and amazing throughout my surfing lessons. It’s honestly the highlight of my week to go there and learn. I’ve learned how to stand up and surf properly. They’re also incredibly nice and go all out to make sure I have a great experience.

Excellent First Time Experience Learning to Surf - I went into this not knowing what to expect at ALL. I have never surfed before in my life and consider myself to be an okay swimmer. As someone who is also in their mid 50's, I wasn't sure how hard this activity would be on my body which is why I wanted private lessons. My teenage daughter also never surfed and wanted to try this. I read reviews for different places and selected "golden wave surf school" based on the positive experiences. I am so grateful I did that research because our experience was fantastic! Lorenzo was so patient, kind and thorough in all that we needed to know and do. Within 30 minutes of our lesson, we both were able to successfully stand and glide with the waves to the shore. I would also recommend the option to have your experience recorded so you can brag about it later! :) Be sure to bring your own towel and come ready to get into your wet suit. The public restrooms were really gross, and we ended up changing into our swim suits in our car! Afterwards, you can shower off at the beach rinse-offs but again, bring something easy to get in and out of.

Good Teaching Lesson - I took a private surfing lesson with Coach Alex, and he gave me a solid foundation of skills and knowledge. I liked his teaching style; it was easy to understand, and I could apply what I learned to my surfing right away. Plus, they provide essential equipment and supplies you need. If you're looking for a surfing lesson, I highly recommend this one. Also- nice beach there!

So much fun!! - I really wanted to learn how to surf and I’m from Minnesota. I thought it was going to be really cold but the wetsuit made it perfectly fine! I had the opportunity to be instructed by Alex and he was very nice, encouraging and fun to work with! I highly recommend you surf with this company! It was a LOT of fun!

Fantastic surfing experience - This was by far the best surfing experience we could have had in LA, we were three beginner surfers with no previous experience and Alex was super enthusiastic, patient and a great teacher - if you’re looking for your first surfing lesson would definitely recommend this

Magnificent Beginner Experience - I booked a one-on-one class and it was with Alex. Although it was my first time taking surf lessons, Alex was very patient and taught me the basic steps (like pop-up). I quickly took the trick and Alex congratulated me on my quick progress. He took a few pictures of me. I highly recommend it to everyone who starts surfing. You can leave your stuff in the school van.

Private Surf Lessons - Instructor was great and kids loved the experience. However, communication was not great as instructions on where exactly to meet on the beach were not provided until 10 minutes before start time and instructor showed up a few minutes before start time leaving us worried no one would show up since no one was responding to my messages thru the app.
