My friend and I had a surf lesson with Matt Johnson this past weekend, and he was the BEST! We had tried surfing before but with little success, and with Matt we caught so many waves! He was very knowledgable, patient, had the best attitude and overall was just a super fun guy to be around. Highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn how to surf! My friend and I can't wait to get in the water again and continue to practice what he taught us. Thanks Matt!!

Visited from NJ with a friend and took surfing lessons for the first time! Our instructor Siena made it so fun for us and was really knowledgeable and encouraging. She even took time to recommend us a couple spots to visit while we’re out here. I’d recommend Sienna to anyone wanting to learn to surf

My surf lesson with Carson exceeded my (high) expectations and was the highlight of my recent trip to Santa Barbara. He was energetic, kind, funny, and fun to hang out with for my lesson but also an incredible teacher. I was actually surfing for the majority of my lesson - which was shocking to me as it was my first attempt! I can't recommend this experience enough and don't know why I waited so long to do it.

So glad you enjoyed your surf lesson with Carson! He is one of our main guys and has been crushing it this year. Hope to have you back sometime soon! Take care
