My 15 and 13 year old sons had a great time, and the staff was very accomodating and extremely friendly. I called in the morning as they opened and they quickly called back and booked us that afternoon. Boards and wet suits were waiting for them at the beach.

Although the instructors at San Diego Surf School are inconsistent, I thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with them. They were accomodating with our last minute decisions, and the whole process getting from the school to the beach was seamless. Although, I would not take valuables down to the beach while you are surfing, the school does provide a big bin for... More
