I’m visiting LA for couple weeks and wanted to learn how to surf. I had 3 lessons with Anto and Matio and it was great. I even got on surf on the first lesson and it was getting better each time with the help of guys. They pay attention to all of the participants, help and correct mistakes. I liked how positive everyone has been, that what really makes this experience the best. Thank you guys, I wish all the best. Maggy❤️🔥

My girlfriend and I attended the 10am lesson on 8/4/21. Despite us running about 15 minutes late (good ole SoCal traffic...), we were still able to join the rest of the group and get nearly two full hours of activity in the water. Mati did a good job ensuring that the group of us had a good understanding of different methods to paddle and stand up on the board. He was also very attentive while we were all in the water, making sure to watch participants' rides and make sure everyone was having fun, and that they were okay after their wipeouts (for which there were plenty!). Would definitely suggest to anyone looking for an affordable and fun outdoor experience! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your experience! It sounds like it was an amazing time, and it's great that Mati made sure everyone felt supported, even with the wipeouts. Let me know if you're ever looking for more surf tips or planning your next adventure!

My 14 year old and I have never surfed before so we were skeptical. Ann our instructor made it informative and fun. Once we got out in the water we had a blast. My son did better than me but what do you expect being 37. Lol. If you are looking for surf lessons in Venice Beach, I highly recommend them.

It sounds like you and your son had an incredible first surfing experience with Ann as your instructor! It’s completely understandable to feel a bit skeptical when trying something new, especially at the beach. However, it’s fantastic to hear that Ann made the lessons both informative and enjoyable, easing any nerves you might have had. Getting out into the water and having a blast is what it’s all about! It's great to know your son picked up the skills quickly—teens tend to have that natural agility! It must have been a memorable bonding experience for both of you, regardless of who stood up on the board better. Your recommendation for surf lessons in Venice Beach will be very helpful for others looking to dive into surfing, especially for beginners. It sounds like a fun way to create lasting memories and challenge yourselves together. Thanks for sharing your experience!
