We had a wonderful experience with the Sandbar Surf School. Jonny is so friendly and made the whole experience easy, from booking over the phone to putting our wetsuits on at the van (magic bag for the win!). It was nice that everything we needed was included in the price, including wetsuit, board and instruction (and a great attitude from the staff!).
We had a wonderful surf instructor, and the ratio was excellent so we had one instructor for the two of us taking the lesson. We are beginners, and she helped us figure out how to stand up, and even how to pick out which waves were good for surfing. She was really encouraging, enthusiastic and friendly, and we really enjoyed our two hours in the water! We really appreciated that they gave us an opportunity to do a warm up on land and get used to the water temperature before heading in for our lesson.
When we come back to Pismo we will definitely check out the Sandbar Surf School again and keep practicing! We can't say enough nice things about Jonny and his crew. A great, fun way to spend the morning!
