Surfriders Academy surf school

Marcus took me to a great spot for my skill level with no crowds. He gave me some great coaching to help me paddle into the peak and get into better position - stayed out almost 3hrs - super fun

Surfriders Academy is the best surf school in SoCal! Marquis and Robert are such wonderful instructors who genuinely care about their students. They are so knowledgeable about their craft and make you feel so comfortable in the water. I have been surfing weekly with them and it’s been life changing. I HIGHLY recommend Surfriders Academy! Book your lesson today! You won’t regret it!

My 17 year old daughter and I had an awesome time! We both got up and rode some waves and had an absolute blast! Highly recommend Marcus and his crew first class all the way

Had an awesome time with Surfrider Academy! Our instructor, Marcus, was amazing and very helpful to my group of 3! Planning to come back and shred again soon!

Awesome experience. Can't believe I didn't do it sooner. Hunter is an awesome instructor. Highly recommend.

Hunter was awesome. Like my son said he knew exactly the waves to help him catch. When your 12 year old son can't stop talking about it you know it was a blast.

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! Marcus is the absolute best! We couldn’t have had more fun on our first surfing trip! 10/10 recommend. Very safe and fun.

My husband and 13-year-old daughter took a surf lesson in Huntington Beach with Marcus. He was really friendly, broke down all of the instructions while on land, and helped them while out in the waves to get up. They were both successful in getting up right away and got up a lot during their 1.5 hour lesson. They really enjoyed their first ever experience with surfing. Thanks, Marcus!

Surfing with marcus was super fun and he is such a great coach! I absolutely had a blast my first time surfing with him!

We had a great lesson with our instructor! He took special care with our two girls to make sure they felt safe and were confident. It was extremely personalized. We all got up and surfed on our own by the end of the lesson!

Amazing first lesson for my two daughters (age 11 and 8) - after 1 hour in the water, Marcus had them both getting up on their boards!

Marcus was awesome! Highly recommend contacting him for surf lessons. He is skilled in technique, has great experience and is super-patient with first timers.

If I could give more stars I would! Marcus did an awesome job helping me surf my first time ever! Very thoughtful and careful attention- I felt safe and encouraged to keep trying. If you’re looking for a great private instruction experience, definitely reach out. Couldn’t recommend more highly!

I had so much fun learning to surf! The instructors are very professional and made surfing easy! I went in with no expierence and left catching waves on my own! 10/10 recommend. This company is great for group training and individual lessons!

This academy is amazing! The trainers are very nice and supportive all around! I'm definally coming back Kawabunga!

It was a great experience for my first time surfing! It was very enjoyable and was able to catch waves after a few trials. Highly recommend!

First surf lesson with Marcus was MAGICAL! Very informative and he pushes you to do your best and doesn’t hand hold which I appreciate. Dream come true to be able to get up on my feet and ride some waves in. Can’t wait to learn more from the best

My first time surfing and the teachers had me catching my first wave in minutes of hitting the water!

Great experience! Instructors are helpful and fun! I came in knowing nothing and was able to safely learn and ride a wave by myself! Highly recommended! It was a great time! Worth it!

These guys are the best! My daughter and I are from Minnesota and had never touched a surf board before and we had so much fun. The beach is beautiful. Our instructor was awesome. Don't hesitate to give Marcus a call. He'll set you up make sure you have a great time.
