A must when visiting Santa Monica/Venice! - Excellent experience. Equipment was all in good shape. Clay was a great instructor! Explained things well and gave great tips. We had such a fun time. Cannot recommend a lesson with Kapowui enough! We will be back!

Fantastic Instructor at Kapowui - My friend and I had Liam as our instructor this past Saturday. Liam is awesome, super energetic, and friendly. He gave us a great introduction to surfing, made sure we had the basics down, and gave us the opportunity to grow comfortable in the water. Liam's excitement for surfing is contagious and we cannot recommend him enough. Thanks so much man!

Great Lesson - Great surf lesson for a mixed aged group (12, 14, 45) in a lovely spot, within walking distance of Santa Monica. The supplied wet-suits were definitely needed though!

Surfs Up with Kapowui! #1 Crew for Lessons in Santa Monica/LA - These ladies and gents are the real deal! Took my first lesson a month ago and came back for my second last weekend. Their instructors are equal parts knowledgable, fun, approachable and supportive -- no matter what prior experience you do or don't have. Surfing can be intimidating but the Kapowui team makes you feel welcome and comfortable every step of the way. Excited to continue my surf journey with them!

Best Surf School for Newer Surfers!! - As people who are newer to surfing, my sister and I had the best time and felt so taken care of by our surf instructor, Liam! The water was pretty rough and yet we still felt so safe and supported out there to improve and catch tons of waves. I'd recommend Kapowui to anyone who's looking to get trained in the fundamentals and supported to work on their skills to be independent.. or honestly, just for a really fun time!!

Kapowui Surf School Rocks!!! - I signed up for 3 lessons. I was paired with Liam. I had surfed one time when I was a teenager, but I knew nothing about the board, feet location, and most importantly the “pop-up”!! Liam is a great teacher and he went through the fundamentals and also talked a lot about the sea, tides, waves. On my first lesson I was able to catch multiple waves with Liam positioning me and pushing me. I did the pop-up and rode the waves to the shore. On the second lesson, Liam went over the fundamentals again, and we spent more time in the water. His guidance gave me the courage to paddle and catch the waves, I lost count on how many times I was able to get up, but I did have three amazing rides. Needless to say, I got bit by the surfing bug. I have my 3rd lesson already booked!! I highly recommend Kapowui Surf Lessons!!! So grateful I did this for me!!

Average - my two day -two lessons experience was just average. 1st day with Nick was excellent. 2nd day with Pat was disappointed. I found them based on reviews. Maybe will find other lesson next time.
