We hired Joey and his surf crew for a boys birthday party. He came prepared with wetsuits and gave a short lesson to the boys prior to getting into the water. All the boys had a lot of fun and each one of them were surfing independently by the end of their lesson. Grateful for Joey who has now inspired a great surf interest into my kids. The daily question from my kids since the birthday party is "can we go surfing this weekend!!!!??" Looks like we will be spending lots of time at the beach this summer.
Thanks Joey!

This is a great value that no one should pass up if wanting to learn how to surf. My experience with Joey and Ryan has been so valuable. They’re an extremely friendly and personable crew who are knowledgeable about surfing and put in the time and care for their customers! It’s more about quality than quantity and they truly curate the learning style based on where you’re at in your surfing ability. I’m so glad I went with them to learn and would 💯 recommend to anyone!!

Joey is top notch at organizing and booking all lessons - highly communicative. He and his team are top notch instructors with an incredibly positive and gentle approach. My boys (5 & 7 years old) look forward to every lesson!

Absolutely fantastic! I always have such a great time whenever I book with this school. Teachers are kind, caring, safe, and very knowledgeable. They are up for whatever you want to learn on the lesson all while keeping you safe, which is great if you are scared of the ocean like I am. I highly recommend to book some lessons with this school.

Had my first surfing experience with Joey and it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!

We had a five-people group so Joey brought another two instructors. One of the instructors had some emergency and couldn't make it so Joey brought his dad, who is the really seasoned surfer and has a great laugh!!
Joey is very articulate and good at giving instruction. After each try, Joey always had me reflected on what I could have done better and told me how I can improve. If you are looking for someone that can set you up for success, Joey is definitely the right coach!

If you ever have a desire to learn to surf or skate, definitely choose surf & skate with Joey. All of the coaches on the team are fantastic and super nice. They all know what they're doing and know exactly how to develop your skills as a skater or surfer. I've had multiple surf lessons and a few skate lessons and I can say with confidence that surf and skate with Joey is one of the best options as far as private lessons go. Highly recommended!

The Surf With Joey staff are skilled, approachable, and encouraging instructors! In my first lesson I had caught almost every wave thanks to River's direction. He also pointed out the things I was doing that kept me from where I wanted to go. From board length, to paddle technique to popping up, He made things that seemed complicated easy and kept me motivated while staying honest and realistic. If you are trying to learn to surf and are stuck at some obstacle you feel you can't get past or if you already surf and want to deepen your understanding, skill and ability, I strongly recommend them. They are fun, honest, hard working and good at what they do.

This was my 14 year old son's first time ever trying to surf and Joey made it a wonderful experience for him. Joey and his team made sure to take the time needed to show my son the basics prior to entering the water and worked with him all through the process. Joey had all kinds of wet suits surf boards and everything needed to make this lesson a success. Imagine how excited my boy was when he got up on the very first try. Now he has the surfing bug. Joey, we can't thank you enough. Cheers and keep up the great work.

I have taken multiple surfing lessons from Joey and his coaches. They all have a great attitude and are good teachers. I highly recommend this surf school for both the young and old, beginners to advanced.

We had a great lesson with River this weekend. He made sure the 2 adults and 2 kids (age 7 and 9) were well taken care of with gear and instructions. He helped make sure we all had a great time and got to surf! Would highly recommend him!

Hello all, this is the funnest experience I've had. The instructor Sammy was an amazing teacher, he got me up on my first try. He was very encouraging and definitely understood my fears but he worked with me and got me up. I had such an amazing time and definitely would do it again and encourage people to do so. If you want to learn how to surf, go to Surf With Joey, they know how to teach. Definitely a must.

My surf coach Sammy proved to be a fantastic instructor for my first time surfing. Joey was attentive and patient in ensuring I understood the steps thoroughly. He constantly provided tips and feedback on how I could improve my technique. Would definitely recommend Sammy to people wanting to learn how to surf or improve their technique! 

The Surf With Joey experience was awesome! My boys were up on their first try and absolutely loved it and him. We aren't from California but plan to book with them next time we're in town. Our coach Austin was so nice and professional.

This team is so so awesome. Stood up my first time. They made me feel confident in the water and made me so excited to continue improving my surfing skills. Can't wait to go back!!

Found Surf With Joey through a friend of a friend, and so happy that I did. They had me up on my first try and I've been hooked ever since. As noted in the other reviews, the instructors takes care of pretty much everything for you. Super accommodating and just an all around good vibe. Highly recommend this school for any first timers out there looking to get into surfing, and I'm already looking forward to our next session!
