“90-Minute Private Family Lesson My husband and kids have surfed a little before and were really excited about the lesson. I had never surfed before and was borderline petrified. Our instructors Alyssa and Jason were fantastic. The ocean was a bit rough, but Alyssa is so encouraging and has such a calming presence, I felt at ease immediately.

“Booked surf lessons for our team. They fitted us for wetsuits in the morning and then went out on the water in the afternoon. It was the first time any of us have surfed and Nina and Nick were excellent instructors! They kept it very simple and were very hands on to make sure we were prepared and safe the whole time. If youu2019re looking for surf lessons, I would highly recommend checking out Surf Diva! Thank you, Nick ”

“We had a great time. Our family of 4 had two instructors with us who worked together to make sure all 4 of us learned the basics, and we all rode a wave. The wetsuits were a definite plus, allowing us to enjoy the sport and stay comfortable. The hour and a half was a perfect amount of time, really - you get really tired, so it worked out perfectly.”

“Amazing lesson and wonderful coaches! I took the Level 1 Womenu2019s Clinic, and it was such a great experience. Before going into the ocean, the session started with a detailed explanation, which helped me feel relaxed.

During”

“My family and I had a great time with Diego and Keaton (sorry if I misspelled your names). They worked so hard to get us all upu2014and we all stood up, even me (I was very nervous). My fifteen-year-old and eleven-year-old really loved it and excelled. Our instructors were enthusiastic about their jobs, surfing, and the ocean/area and had so much to share. They taught us so much and were such great teachers.”

“We traveled to San Diego for a week over the summer specifically to take a surf camp with Surf Diva. All of the Surf Diva employees and instructors were incredibly friendly, helpful, and great with kids. The full-day camp structure was well-planned and executed, and my kiddo had a great time and had success catching waves and learning ocean safety. His favorite instructor was Elliot, who we highly recommend. We (the ”
