110 Park St. Pismo Beach, CA
Jonny and his team have created something special here in Pismo Beach. First-timers consistently rave about getting up on their boards during their very first session, which speaks volumes about the instructors' teaching abilities. The vibe is relaxed and encouraging, with coaches like Josh, Tyler, Ryley, Shane, and Molly getting specific praise for being supportive, down-to-earth, and genuinely passionate about surfing. Families love the multi-day packages, and it's common to see groups of varying skill levels all getting personalized attention during the same session. What really stands out beyond the solid instruction is the welcoming atmosphere. Students mention grabbing burgers with instructors after lessons and feeling like part of the crew rather than just customers. The flexibility and kindness shine through too, with multiple reviewers noting helpful accommodations when unexpected situations arose. Whether you're testing the waters with a single morning session or committing to the three-day package, expect to leave exhausted, maybe a bit sore, but completely hooked on the sport.
🌊 5/5 – Incredible experience with Sandbar Surf School We had an amazing morning surf lesson with Sandbar Surf School! Everything felt super natural and relaxed from the moment we arrived. After a few helpful tips to get us started, we were straight into the water — figuring things out, falling, laughing, and truly learning by doing. It was the perfect balance of freedom and support. What made it even better was how *fun, down-to-earth, and encouraging* the instructors were. After the session, we grabbed some burgers around the corner with the surf crew — great food, great stories, and lots of laughs! A huge thank you to Sandbar Surf School for making us feel so welcome and giving us such a fun, memorable experience. We felt completely at ease the whole time, and we’re now 100% hooked on surfing. Can’t wait to continue this awesome sport back in the Netherlands! Highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a genuine and fun surf vibe we did the whole morning session witch we recommend to everyone how is in en good shape! After you are up for a nap 😅🤣 Coen & Daphne
