“This is the place to go! I was staying at the Hotel Casa del Mar and found this place after doing a little research. I would recommend a private lesson for your first time to get 1on1 instruction and maximize the amount of initial knowledge. My instructor was a really cool dude named Peter. (Peter, thank you!

“Peter was a great instructor! Itu2019s been a long time since I surfed so I was very rusty. But Peter was very patient and encouraging. There was also someone in my group where it was their first time surfing, and he was able to stand up and ride a few times (which is really impressive for first time). Fun Surf LA also has an add on package where they will take GoPro videos/photos of you. Not many places in LA offer that”

“First-ever surf session in Santa Monica.. and it was a banger. We had a local legend from Hawaiu2018i as our instructor, total vibe: relaxed, supportive, made it all feel like second nature. Booked everything on WhatsApp.. fast replies, no fuss. The beach spot? Ideal. Easy to find, beginner-friendly waves, and the kind of energy that just makes you wanna stay all day. Pro tip: donu2019t stress the technique. Show up, get wet”

“My 13-year-old son had a private lesson with Nico. He was very clear in explaining technique to my son. He made sure my son understood what to do in any situation before they headed into the surf. Then, they spent about 90 minutes in the water. My son said Nico was always smiling and cheering for him when heu2019d get up on the board. They were even able to ride a few waves together. He made the lesson super fun and exci”

“This was a GREAT experience. We did the kayaking in the Santa Monica Bay. We were beginners, and had a GREAT guide (Jeff), that gently guided us all the way. We saw sea lions up close and personal swimming in the bay! Loved it! Highly recommend! But remember to bring your sunscreen!!”
