Ventura Surf Lesson

We had a fabulous experience for our very first time surfing. Mondos beach was great and the weather was amazing although the wind was a bit. Surfing is hard!! But our instructors were great, very patient and giving lots of instruction. We had a great experience and would do it again.

We had a great time with Adam and Aiden. I had my three boys with me and we were all up and surfing immediately. They gave us a good overview, then got us into the right waves so we could catch them consistently. In 90 minutes, we were hooked and went back out the next day to catch some more on our own thanks to their lesson. Highly recommended.

My 5yo and 9yo loved surfing with this crew! It’s our second summer taking lessons with them and we will only book with them. They make surfing fun and safe for the kids. A huge shoutout to Tyler, who my 5yo had a blast with - great personality and instructor!

My 2 boys, 11 and 14 had a surf lesson with Ben. It was the best day!! Ben was an excellent instructor, so nice, patient and fun!! He made my boys feel completely comfortable in the water with his enthusiasm and constant encouragement. The waves at Ventura Beach were perfect for learning. It was such a fantastic experience for us a family! Thanks again Ben! You are awesome in every way!

Our instructor Jack was incredible and the break just right for beginner’s. He got us up on several waves quickly and made this the highlight day of our trip!

Our 15 yo and 11 yo have surf lessons with Seth. He was great! They both want to do it again before we leave. Our 11 yo was scared and don’t want to try it when we first got here. Thank you Seth!

Great instructor (John) for a first timer! Waves and weather were perfect. Just a short lesson on the sand and then we got out there and surfed! Amazing!

We had a great experience from the web site to the follow up calls and the day of service. All were nice and friendly and very accommodating. We were all new to surfing and all of us had a ballast and got to ride some waves with the help of the instructor

We booked a lesson for our 7 year old grandson. The instructor was excellent. He was patient, did a great job of teaching the fundamentals. Great communicator. Our grandson has never been surfing and his first time in the ocean was three days prior. He was up on the board and surfing a wave on the first try. He had a total blast and is wanting to go back for more. I don't know who runs this company, but they have created a wonderful culture. Nice going.

We had two days of 1.5 hr lessons from the great instructors. We all loved it, especially our 11 and 13 yo had an amazing time and look like mini surf pro’s! Highly recommend this company!

Our surf lesson with Tanner was a fantastic experience. He gave us the basics and was a great teacher out in the water. We were all beginners but left feeling like we could surf. Instructor was patient and knowledgeable, finding the van and getting set up supper easy and our time in the water a lot of fun!

The equipment and teacher was excellent and I managed to stand up on the board and get a good 20 second ride. I’d go back again.

First time surfing. Went to Mondo's Beach in Ventura for the optimal waves. Took a private lesson with Charles and had a great time. Was out on the water learning by doing right away! Overall A+ experience! Easy to find the van, helpful and polite instructor, and lots of practice! Thanks Charles!

We did a 4 person group surf lesson. It was a great experience and our teens loved every minute of it. Our instructor Tyler was positive and patient and did a great job teaching the kids how to surf. Kudos to Santa Barbara Surf School.

They front office did a great job setting us up. We had a group of 11 kids stay west of Santa Barbara so they worked with us to provide lessons closer to where we were staying. The guys that gave lessons were at the beach waiting and got us all set up and down to the beach. They did a good job teaching the kids and got a number of them up and riding. It wasn't the perfect beach to learn at but we were ok with that to keep things close. The only thing that would've helped would've been to have one more instructor out there with them. We had 11 kids and 2 instructors, they did they're best to keep the kids going but there was a bit of waiting around to get pushed into waves. All in all, a good day and experience for the kids!

We had the best time surfing. Tyler and Tim were incredible. They were great with our 8 and 10 year olds. Very patient and helpful. Our daughter was reluctant and then declared it was the best part of our time in Santa Barbara.

this was amazing ! Sophia was my helper and she was beyond excellent ! always made sure everyone was safe while learning and having fun! would recommend
