Venice Surf Shack

Wagner was helpful and professional. Angel, our instructor was wonderful. We had two kids age 10, and women ages 17,26 and 42. No one had surged before. He helped everyone and everyone got up.

We had a GREAT experience with “Venice Surf Shack”
We had 2 first time surfers get instruction, and were out surfing in no time at all, zero experience!
Very fun, simple, and cool experience! Thanks,
Us!

My first time learning surfing and Wagner’s instructing team got me on track! Great surfing lessons, fun and energetic team, friendly conversations. I am making fast progress and really enjoying surfing. Highly recommend!

My 2 daughters surfed with this company. Wagner was very professional and friendly. They surfed with Sean who gave great and very clear instructions. We will definitely come back here again and use the same company. Thank you!

My son had a private lesson with Wagner and his team last week while on vacation. Venice Surf Shack is professional, experienced, affordable and friendly. I would recommend this team of qualified surfers to anyone looking for lessons! Thank you again Wagner! We will definitely be back for more!

Best surf instructor in LA. Venice beach, very good surf lesson and experience. Super knowledgeable and has all the equipment you need. Very safe and works well with any size group. Family surf lessons, private surf lesson, highly recommend this place for surf lessons in venice beach

Best Surf instructor in Venice! Wagner was very helpful and we all had a great time. Highly recommend this to anyone!

My kids and nephew have known Wagner for years and learned so much from him. They always have a great positive happy experience with him as their teacher, guide, wise advisor and protector. He is a wonderful teacher and person, and the best surfer! He enriches everyone’s lives. I am so grateful to him and know that the kids are safe when Wagner is around. Take lessons from him! You will be so happy you did:) :)

Great place to rent a board right in front of Venice Beach pier!
The guy in charge, Wagner, is a very cool guy, also gives surf lessons!
Best place to learn how to ride!

We live in NorCal but a few times that we drove through LA we scheduled a surf lesson for our 7yo twin boys with Wagner and our boys loved it! Wagner is very personable and knows how to connect with kids and make a lesson fun. He was also very professional and easy to communicate with and make arrangements with for us as parents. We'll definitely be back!

Wagner is the best surf instructor around. His surf knowledge and tips are top notch and he can help anyone improve

I had an unforgettable experience! Amazing service! Amazing boards! Answered all questions and gave us tons of advice, for surfing and just for Cali in general!

Wagner is not only an amazing surfer and teacher, he is a big part of the light in the Venice Community! He is a true professional and so passionate for what he does, I would recommend him any day! Thanks Wagner for all the support, lessons and equipment when I need them!

Wagner is a great instructor! Whether you are looking for some tips or just some gear to rent, he is the dude! I highly recommend him and Venice Surf Shack!

Not my first time buying lessons.but my first time actually having fun!
And it was right at the Venice Pier! So cool!
The instructor i had was a guy from Brazil named Wagner. He was really good. I learned a lot of new things like there are rules in surfing like etiquette and stuff.
He also showed me some great tricks in the water and i actually caught so many waves!
it was awesome.i think i even got barreled.
Highly recommended you check it out if u want to learn to surf.

Venice Surf Shack led by pro surfer Wagner is the place to go to learn how to surf! Some of the most experienced surfers in LA go to Wagner for lessons to improve on surf skills and tricks ~ Wagner is equally great to work with when learning how to surf. With 35 I’ve decided to pursue a long held dream to surf. Not easy to pick up a sport later on in life; while I’m not a natural Wagner has incredible patience with me as a teacher and makes it so fun that it doesn’t really matter how good I am but that I am out there on the waves having the best time. Wagner is an exceptional teacher; and a really great person.

Excellent authentic lessons, the best you can get in LA and Wagner makes sure you are comfortable and can coach you to an advanced level. Have gotten lessons for years.
