“Awesome class, Awesome instructor! I'd give more stars if I could as my 16 year old daughter took a class while we were on vacation from CO. She got up the very first wave and every time after that. Mike (instructor) was perfect for a first timer and Alex told us tide info, wind, etc. so that our experience was ideal. Really great, can't recommend enough.”

“This is a mobile school- there is no physical shop so make sure you book in advance they fill up fast! In 2011 I moved to LA and decided to learn to surf. I booked a full learn 2surf4real package with Tyler and can't imagine I would have ever had been able to take my surfing to the level it is at now without his guidance.

“Such an amazing experience, definitely worth the $100 for a private surf session. I scheduled at 7 am, the weather was a bit chilly and foggy. My surf teacher Quin was so supportive and really knew what he was talking about. Over all would do it again”

“I really had a fantastic time. Lived in SoCal my whole life and this was my first time surfing. Booked an intro lesson just for myself for 90 mins. Mike was my instructor and I learned so much from him. He was great at figuring out my pace of learning and was able to move as fast or as slow as I needed. I genuinely had such a good time, I'm going back for more!”

“I really enjoyed my experience here, it was my first time surfing and I had a blast. Mike is a fantastic instructor, easy to understand and really made me feel safe. You can tell he enjoys when his students are making progress and wants to get his students to the point where they can enjoy surfing by themself. I was not expecting to be able to ride a wave the first time I went out but I was able to get about 3! Thank”

“I had a great experience working with Alex in booking. He was very accommodating to my schedule. I am an advanced-beginner, 55-year old who has been surfing for about 10 years. I took a one-on-one coaching lesson with Coach Mike Schmidt. He was great. He gave me some great tips and corrected some bad habits. I highly recommend One Wave and Coach Mike, Thanks!”
