The absolute best time ! - We had the best experience today with the surf lessons! We had the pleasure of meeting Chris, who we now refer to Adventure Chris, and he did such an amazing job. He was so kind, fun, patient and knowledgeable! We really enjoyed our surf lessons with him and Everyday California! They have the best merchandise and super great prices !

Up and surfing - Easy and fun lessons for my teens. The entire process from check in to finish was great.. The boys learned fast, and were in the water quickly to start surfing. You get another free hour after the leasons to continue, or you could go back another day to redeem.

There was no one else in... - There was no one else in my group aside from me and my instructor Kelly, she did a great job showing me the basics and getting me comfortable to hit the waves by myself the next time I go surfing

Great lesson with Chris - Chris was my instructor. He was great, from talking me through the process to explaining to me what the best technique. My first time doing this and i got up the first time with his tutelage! He kept giving me tips to enhance the day. It was a awesome experience and I look forward to using his techniques to get back on a board soon.

Amazing Surf Instructor, Chris! We had so much fun! - My friend and I were visiting from out of town and got lucky with a private surfing lesson since nobody else joined the group. Chris was our guide/instructor and was so knowledgeable about the area, reading the waves, and of course, surfing. Chris was very patient, friendly, and thorough with teaching us the basics. Infectious positive attitude and great encouragement -- we both got up multiple times! Also, the boards were already down at the beach, so we didn't have to carry them the few blocks from the shop. We had so much fun and would definitely recommend this experience!!

First time surfing lesson - Had an amazing surfing lesson with Hannah from Everyday California. It was my first ever time on a surfboard and Hannah was a great instructor; very friendly, super encouraging and gave clear instructions on how to surf. I was able to stand up on the board with ease by the end of the session and I even continued to rent the board after the lesson because I enjoyed it so much. Thanks to Hannah and the team for the unforgettable experience!

Too many surfers per instructor - We scheduled a surfing lesson for 4 beginners (ages 11-13) One instructor was not capable of handing them. She was a lovely girl but our surfers were floundering out in the waves while she helped one at a time. I would recommend only 2 surfers to an instructor. 2 of our girls bailed out early. If one of the girls fathers hadn’t been out there helping it would have been a disaster.
