Fun surfing lesson - The lesson was a great introduction. The instructor was knowledgeable on where to go and when to get going on the wave. Plan to do it again, and with this same company.

Best way to learn how to surf… - I took my first surfing lesson yesterday. I can’t remember his name but my instructor was a 4th year UCSB student who has been with the company for 6 months. I was nervous but he made me feel comfortable and guided me step by step. I’m glad that I had a private lesson. He made surfing as easy as it could be for my first time. Great experience!

Surfing lesson for beginner at Santa Barbara - Coach Wyatt is super nice. He taught me the basic steps to stand on the board and we went to the ocean to practice. He made it quite easy for me to catch up with the wave and first on the knees then on the feet. He would give some tips for each trial and encourage you to do it at your own understanding and pace. I do recommend the lesson here for beginners.

Great surfing experience at Manhattan Beach - Had an absolute blast with OneWave surf! Instructor Tim was particularly wonderful and enthusiastic. We were a little more intermediate and he was easily able to adapt to our level and help us out in all ways and give us tips to improve our techniques along with making sure we caught waves. I was considering another school in the area just because it also popped up and frankly I am so glad I went with OneWave surf instead! The other one has such an intensely detailed waiver that sounded like they would let you drown before they would risk being liable. Um, yikes. Tim would definitely not let you drown. Anyway, had an excellent experience and OneWave was super chill and communicative about the booking and the location. Great people, and really looking forward to going back one day! One thing about the booking platform is there is a place to add tip directly to the booking, but it is probably better to tip your instructors directly 🤙
