Everyday California has all the good vibes-ask for Chris! - We had an awesome experience with Chris at Everyday California! His passion for surfing is obvious, and he was a superb instructor for both me and my 12-year-old son. He has a natural talent for making people feel comfortable right from the start. We’re novice surfers, and we both got up on every attempt (I may have attempted a few less—freeze baby 😄). We actually had to beg our son to be done, even though his teeth were chattering. Can’t recommend Chris enough!

Great surf lessons for our kids with Chris and Mia - We had a great time learning to surf with Chris and Mia! Our 5, 8, and 11 year old kids learned to surf for the first time and loved it. Highly recommended, especially because the kids were a little scared at first, but the instructors made it so easy and fun.

First time surfing! - Chris and pandora were our guides. This was our first time trying surfing and they were super helpful. They made it easy for us to get up on the boards. Water felt great thanks to the wetsuits after getting used to it. Would highly recommend if you can do this! You also get a free hour rental of a board to use at a later time.

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.

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.
