TESTIMONIALS
“My mom and I had the best experience at our surf lesson! It was our first time surfing so we were a little intimidated but all instructors were super friendly and explained everything really well so it was easy to understand. Highly recommend!” - Victoria
“Locals was super well organized and very chill. I got the group lesson and it was just me and one other person with our instructor (they staff many instructors per group). We got tons of attention and got up on the board super quickly. You can tell how much the instructors genuinely love when people catch their first wave. Genuine spot and I’d recommend to anyone!” - Reed
“Best surf school! Everyone is so nice. I’ve taken a handful of lessons with Locals with different instructors and not one has pushed me too hard and all have been super attentive. And FUN! There’s no one else I’d surf with.” - Lauren
“This is a review for the kids surf camp. Initially signed my shy 7 year old up for 2 days. She had such an amazing time that I had to move my work schedule around to bring her for a 3rd day. You can drop off but I stayed on the beach to hang out. The camp is well ran and organized. Kids were in the water 3 times and had plenty of 1:1 instruction when surfing. Lessons on safety/surfing, games, and snack time filled the rest of the day. Every instructor I saw was friendly, alert, and engaging with the kids. It was amazing to see the progress the kids made towards the end of the week. My girl is obsessed and we will definitely return next summer! She learned a new skill and made new friends all in a safe and fun environment.” - Yumi
