Description

We created this experience to be a very authentic day/morning in the life of a surfer. Not just a surf lesson. Guests and truly treated as family...Like going for a surf with your uncle Micah! All participants receive a comprehensive and thorough lesson and are immersed in an authentic experience that for some; create a new passion and way of life. We meet downtown, select the wetsuit that fits best, and the board you want to surf from a large selection of long boards, mid-length and foamies. (short boards are available for advanced surfers.) I hope you can join us for a truly authentic unforgettable day of surf and good vibes. NOTE - As the group gets larger we break into smaller groups of 3 or 4ish per instructor. (everyday is different depending on the vibe of the group.)

Best decision ever

This was SO much fun, such a chill yet adventurous experience I am very glad I didn’t go to a bigger surf school. Loved it!! Micah is awesome and knows surfing like the back of his hand

Local Expert in Surfing is also a Fun Guide

Micah is a very knowledgeable and fun person. He was very accommodating with my last-minute booking and considerate in his instructions. I learned a lot in this lesson and had a great time while doing so!

Very good surfing afternoon

This was awesome. Mike is so chill. He brought us down to Mondo’s beach Ventura this Saturday. He’s a really good teacher for surfing! Get him if you want some good surfer life experience. This is the guy to go to.

outstanding

Excellent. Best surprise is no surprise. Micah was communicative, early and ready to go when we arrived. He has a system of teacing that made a lot of sense and was easy. His personality added to the experience. Look no further for surf lessons.

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!
