We (two women and first time surfers) had a semi-private lesson with Laura. Laura’s teaching was superb, she gave us just the right amount of information/technique and boosted our confidence throughout the lesson by being extremely supportive. She was very kind, patient and oozed so much positive energy. She was always mindful of everybody’s safety, making our first surf experience that much more comfortable. We really appreciated seeing a female surf instructor and we thoroughly enjoyed our lesson. Thank you Laura and Fun Surf LA!

Working with Fun Surf LA was fun and easy, including their easy booking and clear communication. Laura was an awesome instructor. We didn't think we'd be very good but with Laura's teaching and encouragement we had the best time riding the waves. Taking a lesson through Fun Surf LA was one of our favorite experiences of our trip! Highly recommend!

"Wanting to give my 17-year-old nephew, Zachary, a vacation he would never forget, I reserved a 2-hour surfing lesson with FunSurfLA. The instructor was Jacob from Lithuania. He did a great job of introducing Zachary to the mechanics of surfing and actually got Zack up on the board. A few days later, we rented a wetsuit and surfboard from FunSurfLA so that Zachary could get some practice on his own. And finally, on the last day of our week-long stay near Venice Beach, we got a second 2-hour lesson. Valentine, from Argentina, was the instructor and he did a great job of giving Zachary tips and encouragement. It was exciting for Zachary to actually surf and it was exciting for me to see him getting up on the board several times and experiencing the excitement of actually having the water pushing him to shore... and to the sandy beach. As I was taking a video of Zachary on his last "ride," it was cool to see Valentine running through the water.... getting to Zachary to give him a High-Five while he was still on the board... still coming in to where I was watching. The instructors really know how to get their students excited about the adventure. If I was 50 years younger, I would want to spend a week with these instructors at FunSurfLA to experience something that I only know about from the Beach Boys "Catch a Wave and You're Sitting on Top of the World!" They definitely gave my nephew an experience he will never forget.

It was awesome! Our first experience with surfing left me with desire to do it again. The only thing I regret that I booked 1.5 and not 2 hours. Thanks to our coach Valentin for his charm and constant attention.
