Very professional. Brian was a great, patient instructor. Souf runs a tight ship. I was very happy with my experience and would recommend them to others.

My 8 year old daughter did their surf camp this summer and it was great. The teachers were really nice, really patient, and the kids loved them. There were two teachers for 4 kids, though I don't know if it's always such a small group of kids, as it was the end of summer vacation. The teachers and the owner were very helpful, very prepared, had a nice canopy for shade, seating, drinking water, and sunscreen for the kids and their families. I would highly recommend San Diego Surf School to anyone looking to learn how to surf, and will undoubtedly go back for some lessons for myself, and enroll both my daughters in surf camp next summer.

My boyfriend and I had a blast surfing in San Diego with this school! It was are first time surfing, and the staff and instructors were so friendly and helpful. It was so great that we bought another lesson for the following day. I would highly recommend this school!

Megan B, Phoneix AZ. 'San Diego Surf School is exceptional!'
There were many surf schools to choose from, but San Diego Surf School was the most family oriented and professional. My 2 sons had the best time at this camp. They were standing up the first time and instructors Souf and Gene were the best. I signed them up for the 5 day surf camps and on friday I thought it was really neat how the surf school invited all the parents to enjoy a lunch at mini surf competition. As a mom I was concerned, but the school was exceptional with their safety and professionalism. I strongly recommend this surf camp to any other mom like myself.

I'm 35 years old and tried surfing for the first time at the San Diego Surf School. Jeff was my instructor and I had a great time. I took a 1.5 hour lesson the first day and liked it so much that I signed up for an hour lesson the next day. Jeff was very encouraging and helpful and actually had me standing up on the second wave I caught. Souf, the owner, was really nice and actually drove me down to the beach for my first lesson. They provide you with a wetsuit and a board so all I brought was a towel. I had a great time and I'd suggest them to anyone heading to San Diego for some surfing. Thanks guys! I'll be back!
6/19/2009Kyle F, Sun Valley CA This is the best surf school in SD hands down! i would recommend to everyone in the area. great instructors and world class surf spots! over all amazing experience. i have never surfed before in my life and i was up on my first wave in under an hour!!! THANK YOU SOUF!
6/1/2009Jessica P, Brooklyn NY I would highly recommend San Diego Surf School. I picked them because you have the option of taking a 1.5 hour lesson, while most other places only give you an hour. Logan was our instructor and he was excellent - he had me standing up after only a few tries (I had never been surfing before). Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely go again. And it got me hooked on surfing! 03/8/2009
Kellie. Great for kids!
My nine year old son loves the ocean. I bought him lessons for his birthday from San Diego Surf School. They offer a great 4 lesson package for a good deal. I would recommend lessons from San Diego Surf School to anyone as they were great with my son. He couldn't wait to go back the next week! He was laughing and happy the whole way home and told all his friends at school. I was much impressed with the personal touch that San Diego Surf School offered. I had done lessons with a friend at another school and had a horrible experience. San Diego Surf School gained my trust again. I recommend any mom take their kids here as you have nothing to worry about.

After 32 years in San Diego, I figured it was time I got on a surfboard. I had my one on one lesson with Souf, the schools owner, and also got to meet Adam, a new instructor. I had a great time with Souf and felt really comfortable with him. He was a great coach and very supportive. He gave me great pointers to work on at home before i head back out. He spent a ton of time with me and was even more determined than me to see me on my feet. While I did get my feet under me a few times, my glory was short lived. I'm close though and will definitely go back to San Diego Surf School and would recommend it to everyone.

I wanted to try surfing for the first time and picked San Diego Surf School out of a hat online for a one on one lesson. I'm glad I did! My instructor, Gene, was right on time (a bit early, even), right where they said he'd be. He had a board and wetsuit ready to go for me. After a quick but useful tutorial on the beach, we hit the waves. Gene was easygoing and helpful throughout the lesson, and after an hour and a half I felt like I had a good feel for it -- I was paddling, popping up, and catching some (small) waves on my own. I highly recommend these guys for beginners. They're friendly and professional. I'd definitely go back for more.

Chenin9, Chicago IL. (Great for honeymooners!)
My husband and I recently went to San Diego for our Honeymoon. While in San Diego it was our provocative to learn to surf. We not only learned to surf, but had an afternoon full of laughter and excitement. We initially only wanted one day, but had so much fun that we signed up for 2 more days! I was thoroughly impressed with their professionalism, organization, punctuality, and friendly staff. It was a great addition to our honeymoon.
