★★★★★Steve “apexdesigns” FrankGreat day in the water! Expert coaching from someone who obviously knows the area wave patterns made it easy to catch waves and stand up on the board. Paddling is maybe more physical than you might think but worth the effort.
★★★★★Anirudh NistalaBooked the 2-day beginner surf 1 lesson as a group of 7 and had a blast!!! Stephen was a great teacher - super patient, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Highly recommend.
★★★★★parya khoshrooBy far the best surf class I have ever been to. Everyone is super nice, friendly, and professional. All the instructors are amazing, including Jeff, Alan, Stephen, and others whose names I did not catch but had great conversations with. I had tried surfing classes before in Santa Cruz in Capitola Beach, and Half Moon Bay, but none of them were as good. This was the only class where I was able to stand up on my very first session, learn the techniques, and most importantly have so much fun. I also bought my used board and wetsuit from Alan, and both he and Jeff helped me choose the right sizes. They made me fall in love with surfing. If there is one place to learn how to surf, this is absolutely it. I cannot wait to take more lessons. They also even gave me the confidence to practice on my own. Truly an amazing experience. ♥️♥️
★★★★★Supriya GoswamiTook a 2 day surf class at Pacifica for my 13 year old. All gear was provided, clear instructions, everything starts and ends on time, very professional - highly recommend
★★★★★M AndréeI took a 2-day lesson with Al, who’s friendly, professional and a great teacher. I’ve been to a couple of beginner surf schools and this has been the best so far. I was never taught surf etiquette or braking anywhere else. The wetsuit fit well and did enough to keep out the cold. I highly recommend coming here and might be back myself to learn more soon.
