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

Golden surf was great! My 7 year old came for her first ever surf lesson and by the end she was riding the waves and loved it. Everyone was friendly and patient and great for kids to learn.

We've had a private class with Alex and we loved it! He is a professional and made us totally fall in love with surfing! Thank you!

Our private surf lesson was fantastic! Alexey, our instructor, was incredibly helpful and patient. We had a blast and learned a lot. Can't wait to do it again!

Alex was super accommodating when Trip Advisor messed up our reservation. He was so helpful on the business side of the lesson & a very good surf instructor. Would definitely recommend & use again!

So glad I chose Golden Wave for a lesson. It was incredibly easy to book, competitively priced, and Alex, the instructor (and founder/owner) was a great teacher. I feel so much more confident getting up and staying up on the board after just one lesson.

I had a fantastic lesson with Martin at Golden Wave. Martin was very knowledgable and an excellent communicator. I made great progress very quickly. Plus he was very patient. He waited for me and didn't complain even though I got lost on the way and was a half hour late. Thoroughly recommend the experience.

Martin was the best instructor you could ask for. My 14-year-old daughter felt confident and excited about the whole experience. She actually was able to stand on her first wave! Thank you guys, looking forward to doing this again next year.

Martin was a great instructor. It wasn't a perfect day for beginners but with his guidance and support we had a good time and learned some basics to be able to stand and ride for a while.

The business is run out of a van. You meet the van in the parking lot where they give you a wetsuit that someone else had just been wearing and is wet. The wetsuit I was given was also torn in a couple of places as was the suit given to my daughter. The chosen spot to surf was extremely shallow and so falling meant you usually hit the sand only a couple of feet under the water. This was my third surfing lesson in life and was by far the worst.

Martin was an incredible instructor. He gave great instructions and demonstrations before we got into the water! He made things very clear and made sure we all had fun!!

My Son had lesson with Martin. He never surfed before and in 2 hours he was able to start to surf. Martin has been patient, motivated and made the lesson super interesting and happy. He was constantly nearly present to my son and explained any step very carefully. I absolutely suggest this lesson. In addition when we called to have info, Alex was super kind and answered all our questions. It’s Top activity.

I took my two adult kids for surfing lessons while visiting Venice Beach. It was amazing!!! We had so much fun trying to surf. Martin was our instructor and he taught all three of us how to stand up on our boards and catch a wave. He was an incredible teacher. This was the highlight of the week and will live on in our family vacation stories.

It was a first lesson for a friend and I :: had the best time! Our surfing instructor Martin was friendly, encouraging, positive and had good pointers/ input when we'd, again-and-again, fall off the board! He even took some time to go back to shore mid water time to see how I could improve my feet placement. My friend had some movement restrictions due to past injurire's and Martin respected the fact, gave her space to rest & breathe and suggested some alternate moves to faciliate the whole popping-up-on-the-board business! I'd recommend this school and instructor (lovely guy, really!) any day; it was an all around very positive first experience!

The lesson was excellent!! Worth it indeed! Diego was a superb coach ever. Meeting was easy and he was waiting us even when we arrived 10mins earlier. He is professional and passionate. Kind and warm heart. He never minded to take care little boy and gave so much hard works to make my sons to enjoy and feel the wave. He understands well how to handle beginner and little kid safely. My sons had a wonderful surfing memory in beautiful California beach. Highly recommended.
