I had just recently gone to these lessons, and let me tell you, it only takes five seconds and you'll never want it to end. With the amazing care and lessons the various insturctors provided, I was able to actually surf by the beginnig of the second lesson. The time and attention they give to each individual was unbelievably helpful. Their constant upbeat and positive attitude kept everyone so motivated to continue and do their best. Whether you are looking for serious training, or just some family fun, Sandbar Surf School is definetly the place to go. So if you ever come to visit Pismo Beach, I definetly reccomend going to the Sandbar Surf School. It will be an unforgattable experience.
