I recommend this school for beginners! First of all they got most affordable package for beginners i found ( and i was searching all the web all the countries possibly).Classes are outgoing and you can join any time and if you can't make 5 days in a row, you can do days off( which would be smarter if I did),but needs to be discussed in advance in order to preserve space for a class. At second, Pismo beach is great location to try surfing your first times and it can make a wonderful getaway if you are not from there.Teachers are friendly and flexible and very very very nice people:)Among al of them I liked Alyssa) she was very active). Thank you Sandbar surf school! I hope to get back sooner!!!

I highly recommend this school. Fun times, great instructors! They spend time with you and encourage you. Alyssa was amazing - a teacher at heart! I'm glad I did it with this school. They take care of you. Bring water and sunscreen. You'll learn how to surf if you have the desire and patience.

Our 13 year old took a private lesson with Johnny and had the time of her life. Johnny was kind, patient, encouraging and FUN. He's got a lifetime of experience in the water and is an all around awesome guy. You won't find a better instructor in Pismo Beach! He knows his stuff and had our niece surfing in no time. She can't wait to come back to attend a surf camp. Thank you, Johnny!
