We booked a 2 hour lesson for our 9 year old son and he had a great time! So much so that we decided to do another lesson the next day! Joe and Eric were super helpful and friendly. Highly recommend when looking for lessons in Solana Beach.

Bo Williamson

Kids had an amazing time learning how to surf!

Rachael Williamson

We had the best experience! My two boys, 9 and 11, had never surfed before. We had a full educational session with Joe before going into the ocean with Eric. I had to bribe them (with another lesson the next day) to leave. Absolutely recommend!

We booked a 2 hour private group surf lesson with Eric at Ride Solana Beach through Groupon. My group has never touched a surf board before today, yet we were able to stand on the board and catch waves by the end of the experience. Eric is very patient and consistent in his teaching. His instructions were easy to follow, clear, and encouraging. The owner, Joe was extremely hospitable. We spent time at his shop after surfing to play ping pong and check out his handmade surf jewelry. I highly recommend this experience to anyone passing through town looking for a unique, beginner friendly, south Cali experience! Tips: - Free 4 hour parking in a lot behind the shop. Read the curb for the designated 4 hour parking spots. - Wear a bathing suit and opt for the full wet suit. - After the lesson you can take a 1 minute warm shower at the shop. Leave your spare dry clothes at the shop to change into post shower. - Bring sandals, a towel, underwear/bra to change into after your shower, your phone for before/after photos with your board, and sun protection.

My 17 yr old daughter and her friend did a surf lesson and had an amazing time! They both stood up and rode all the way in multiple times. The instructor was so helpful and everyone was friendly and encouraging. They decided to rent a board for the rest of the day to try on their own and I'm enjoying watching them from a rental chair and umbrella.

J Beas

Been here 3 times already with family and everyone loves it! Bikes got great speeds along with great prices and riding along the coast is amazing! 10 outta 10!

Best instructors - Joe is the man. The detail provided in my surf lesson was to the Nth degree. Go get your self a lesson.

Jenna Ditzel

Three friends and I took a lesson and really enjoyed our experience! The instructor was super supportive, and the pre-lesson video really helped set us up for success. Good energy all around!

Steven Turner

Booked a 2 hour surfing lesson. It was my first time and I managed to get up a few times! These guys are friendly, knowledgeable and really know their stuff. Location is right next to the beach so it’s easy to get to the beach and back.
