We believe everybody deserves to surf, and group lessons are great way for those on a tighter budget to get out on a board. Group surf lessons consist of 4-5 students with a qualified surf instructor who will teach each student ocean safety and surf dynamics to ensure you can surf at your best. Together as a team, you’ll have fun with a beachside training, in-water lessons and a guarantee you’ll be standing up by the end of your first lesson!

TRIP ADVISOR REVIEWS
I have taken other surf lessons before and was never able to stand up, but thanks to Edwin's amazing instruction, I was standing on my 3rd run and rode waves... read more all the way to shore! He watches you closely and gives you tips for small adjustments each time, not just for getting up once you catch the wave but also to get back out easily against the incoming waves. He was also SO patient and encouraging. We left feeling on top of the world. Surfing is the absolute best and it's never too late to learn!

Amazing time - Jesse Hodsman was an amazing instructor. He was very attentive and he made sure I would get the best experience and become a real surfer, and also shared a lot... read more of important information on safety. From his instruction I was able to get up on the board easily as a "day one" surfer. I also got pointers from other friendly instructors that were close by and cheering me on.
Pacific Surf School definitely exceeded expectations and would recommend to anyone.

Alex & Pacific Surf School were awesome. - Our surf coach was Alex Joseph. He was knowledgeable, patient & super helpful for the 3 of us. All 3 of us got up to standing during the surf lesson... read more and we had a ball.

Some good - but also some disastrous instruction. - Booked two separate 1-2-1 sessions for my boys while holidaying in San Diego. One session was delivered well and thoroughly enjoyed. Sadly the other session was a disaster - the... read more instructor failed to assess adequately the ability of my younger son, then took him too deep and into waves too big. After falls off the board and going through the rinse cycle, he refused to take the rest of the session. I couldn’t blame his reaction. Totally inadequate instruction from someone who was supposed to be a ‘professional’.
