My brother and I (ages 26 and 15) took the 2 hour surf lesson with Sandbar Surf School at Pismo beach. We made a last minute reservation and they were very accommodating. The organisation was done well - instruction to meeting location was easy to follow, lesson started on time, and all of the equipment were provided. We practised standing up on the beach before getting to the water and it helped a lot. With their help, both of us were able to actually stand up! I highly recommend this company for anyone looking to try surfing!
