Beginner Surfing in San Francisco at Pacifica Beach

One of the most exciting things I have ever did!

My son wanted to try surfing. He loved the instructor, Jeff, who was very patient and thorough and took time to help individual students. He was also funny! They provided the board and a wetsuit that fit well. If we lived in the area my son would be back!

This was a great experiment. I learned a lot about the ocean and surf etiquette.

Unfortunately, my class I have booked a time for June 20 at 2.15 pm is not running and they have emailed me this morning just four days before my vacation after I booked my hotel and after I made all my plans. This is so ridiculous and not professional, they just asked me to join earlier time 9 AM or 10:15 AM, if I was able to join that class earlier, I could book it earlier, but I was not, and they were showing that schedule time when Iwas booking and I booked this class in advance, and I made all my plans for this time of schedule. I am not suggesting here. I also even tried to call them, they do not answering + for email channel they did not share any contact information for any call to give any explanation and they are not providing in a solution with that.

Gary our instructor is amazing and super detailed in his coaching. He was methodical and after my first ever lesson I was able to ride the whitewaters wave multiple times! He provided all gear so all I needed to worry about was show up on time.

I enjoyed my first lesson so so much! My instructor David was amazing! Then Al came in later to help coaching and they were both top notch teachers! Their energy was so amazing and they were super patient and supportive! There were two of us (students) and we both enjoyed the class so much! The day was perfect, not too many people, the waves were perfect for me to start with, and I just loved everything! Before coming I was scared I was not going to enjoy it, but David and Al made it enjoyable. Will definitely be coming back for my second lesson and even private lessons to get better at surfing :)

Really great experience. Friendly and fun guide, well maintained equipment, such a good time! Highly recommend if you want to learn surfing, I brought a friend and we had a blast.

Had the best surf lesson of my life here and learnt so much in the class. Stephen is a very patient and thoughtful teacher

I had an amazing experience, thanks to the incredible team of instructors—Gary, David, and Al. Gary was outstanding in teaching about the nature of the ocean. His explanations on how to read waves were clear, insightful, and easy to apply. He’s an all-around great instructor who really helps you feel connected to the water. David helped me understand how to relax my body, which made a huge difference in my confidence and overall experience. His calm, supportive teaching style really stood out. Al was fantastic at reinforcing safety throughout the entire session. He created an environment where I felt secure and well-guided at all times. Overall, the combination of knowledge, support, and safety these three provided made the experience truly exceptional. Highly recommend!

I had the BEST time surfing at pacifica withe guidance and expertise of Adventure out. I had a small bit of previous surfing experience and it was important to me to learn about the water and currents i'd be dealing with. Alice was fantastic with explaining surfing concepts and also tailoring the lesson with what I had previously learned even though the rest of class were doing something different. I was the happiest girl leaving and knowing I managed to surf in some California Water. Thanks a million!
