Reviews for Surf’s Up Crew! Epic Group Surf Lesson Experience

We had an amazing time learning how to surf! Diego was an awesome instructor! I would totally recommend this experience.

Booked surf lessons for our team. [...] It was the first time any of us had surfed and Nina and Nick were excellent instructors! They kept it very simple and were very hands-on to make sure we were prepared and safe the whole time. If you’re looking for surf lessons, I would highly recommend checking out Surf Diva! Thank you, Nick and Nina, for a great time!

Wow—what an incredible experience! We took surf lessons with Nick, who was informative, enthusiastic, funny, and genuinely down-to-earth. You can tell he truly loves what he does and has a real passion for surfing, which made the lesson even more enjoyable. The surf shop itself is a total gem. I ended up visiting three different times during my trip and found something to buy each time. Between the amazing lessons and the great finds in the shop, this was easily one of the highlights of my first visit to La Jolla—and my first time in California. We’ll definitely be back!

We had a great time with the team. They were great and got our whole family up surfing. We would highly recommend them.

We love it. It was a fantastic experience. We had so much fun and the Surf Diva team is the best. We definitely are coming back.

We had a lesson with Davo and it was fantastic. He made us feel comfortable immediately and helped us catch some great waves, even for us as beginners. The overall shop and staff were great as well and you get 20% off the shop with a lesson. I’d go back to Surf Diva any time!

Fabulous experience! Best place to learn.

An incredible experience all around. From the lesson [...] to shopping in the shop after, I'd give Surf Divas 10 stars if I could. Will for sure be back the next time we're in San Diego - cannot wait for another lesson!

We had an awesome time! The surf instructors were patient and friendly and our whole group came out feeling stoked!

Surf Diva was amazing! Four girlfriends and I had a private class [...] and had SO MUCH FUN! We were all super nervous as none of us had ever *really* surfed before, but the instructors made us feel so relaxed and comfortable. After a few practice rounds of techniques on the sand, we were ready to hit the waves. All five of us were able to eventually stand up and actually catch a few waves! If you've ever wanted to try surfing, but don't know where to start or don't want to try to figure it out on you own, I highly recommend Surf Diva. We all feel so much more confident and are already planning to go again!

This was one of the best experiences and an amazing way to spend the first day of the year. [...] Don’t let the Surf Diva name scare you, we had a group of all men and boys (ages 56, 45, 15, 14, 10). I’ve had other surf lessons before (in Kauii, HI) and this was waaaay better! The boards are super long, wide and stable. Fonzi started slowly and by the end of our [...] session, had every member of the group paddling to catch our own waves (i.e. no pushes) and ridin’ em in. Two of us were lining up out farther with some of the bigger waves at the end. It’s hard to describe how addictive it is to surf, and to watch your sons ride the waves while squinting in the sun and salty spray. Thanks Fonzi and Surf Diva - we’ll be back! Side note: we were surfing on a chilly morning (58-62 ish) and I was completely warm in the full wetsuit, except for that first dip under water.
