Surfing fun with Micah - Today we had our first surfing experience as a family. Micah took us out on a great trip, looking for the best beach for our initiation. He teached and guided us in a nice way, so we could catch our first waves. We had a lot of fun as Micah is a real entertainer, pleasantly disturbed (in a good way really). We did sing along in the car, checked out a viewpoint on the way back.. . All part of the experience. Grateful for this super fun afternoon!

Great Surfing Teacher - Micah is a great teacher and I can say that even though I'm only half way through my 6 lessons. I purchased a 6 lesson pack and have gotten up on all 3 days so far and am learning how to identify which waves are good to catch and also I've learned how to turn the board successfully and ride the face of the waves. I highly recommend Micah and I can't wait until the next lesson!

Great Surfing Experience with Mika - Surfing with Mika in Santa Barbara was an incredible experience! Mika is not only very friendly but also an excellent teacher. As a first-time and second-Time surfer (2 people lesson), I felt completely at ease with his guidance and patience. He took the time to explain the basics thoroughly and made sure everyone was comfortable in the water. The location was beautiful, and the whole experience was both fun and educational. Highly recommend this surfing lesson to anyone visiting Santa Barbara!

Amazing full day surf lessons for our family! - Micah was amazing to work with! His rates were extremely reasonable. He was flexible and really made our surf lessons individualized. He got every member of our family of six first-time surfers (aged 7-39) up on the board. He brought all the necessary equipment and made it hassle free and enjoyable. Our kids voted surfing day to be their favorite day of their vacation (and that’s saying something because we also went to Disneyland and Universal Studios!) We’ll definitely connect with him again next time we visit the area and we recommend him to all of our friends heading to Southern California. Thanks, Micah, for creating an incredible memory for our family!

Awesome sunset surfing lesson - Micah was awesome, very nice and patient with getting us set up. He was also technical enough to begin teaching us the fundamentals we'll need to actually surf on our own, which I appreciated. We had plenty of time in the water, and caught as many waves as we had the energy for.

What a great experience - We booked this activity for 4 people. None of us has ever tried surfing before. The lesson has been perfect for beginners. We first meet him at his appartement. This is where we got our wetsuits and a short introduction. Right After that we headed to the beach, were we all caught some waves. At the end of the day, everbody rode at least one or two waves. Really exciting. He knows how to teach you riding waves.
