Very fun. Instructor was patient and very encouraging. Gave us lots of opportunities to ride good waves. My wife and I are in our late 50's but we still had a lot of fun. Exhausting but fun!

Awesome experience! The instructor was incredibly patient with us and my 6 year old was able to stand up! Highly recommended surf school! Just adding to this review as we went with them again recently. Another fantastic experience and my son (now 7 years old) was over the moon at the ability to surf to the shore. The teacher (Kris) is superb and I recommend this surf school to anyone.

I had a lesson with Quin recently and it was great. He was very knowledgeable, explaining technique and safety considerations in a straightforward and easy to understand way. Also booking the lesson and dealing with the office was super simple. Great experience all around!

I had tried surfing in Hawaii about a year ago and fell in love with it. I’ve been dreaming about doing it again ever since and finally decided to make time for it. I found One Wave Surf School through yelp and called them up to schedule a lesson. James was my instructor and he was amazing! He was extremely patient and encouraging. He made sure to explain everything thoroughly, and in ways that made sense to me. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and I’m looking forward to scheduling my next lesson!

Very easy for me to sign up my son and our two French visitors. They had a great time and felt like they got a lot of individual attention. Highly Recommend One Wave Surf School

Emma was a wonderful instructor and helped me ease back into a sport that’s always called to me. I was even able to actually stand up a few times which is a testament to her coaching ability. I would highly recommend One Wave Surf School.

My two friends and I had a great experience with One Wave Surf School. We are all beginners - for two of us it was our first time surfing. Quinn was our instructor. He did an incredible job teaching us proper technique, etiquette, and tips on how to interpret surfing projections. All of us were able to ride a wave. I would strongly recommend One Wave for a Surf Lesson.

Could not have asked for a better experience. James was amazing with Presley (our 14 year old daughter) and had her up and surfing in no time. We could also hear them both laughing from the beach, so it was obvious she was having a great time. She's ready to get back out there and continue her lessons and step up to the next level. Can't wait to see what's next and we will definitely be back out with One Wave Surf again. I can't imagine you'll find anyone better to get you started.

Such an amazing experience, definitely worth the $100 for a private surf session. I scheduled at 7 am, the weather was a bit chilly and foggy. My surf teacher Quin was so supportive and really knew what he was talking about. Over all would do it again

Great instructor, and great staff. The whole experience was Fantastic....just make sure you get the waivers / paperwork done before you go to the beach. I would absolutely recommend Mike as an instructor. We even saw a pod of dolphins while we were surfing!

My brother and I had James as our coach, and it was the best surf lesson I could ever ask for! James was an expert and taught us a lot. We were both first time surfers and caught several waves each. The very reasonable price includes boards and wet suits. We will definitely be back.

James was such an amazing instructor. He was really informative and really put our safety first. He made us laugh, provided us with supportive and constructive feedback as well as making us feel like we rocked. I'm looking forward to taking many more classes with One Wave and James.

Loved my first class, our instructor James was very informative but easy going. I learned a good amount while having fun with my friends. before my next group session I need to do some training in the pool and work on my upper body strength.

Awesome class, Awesome instructor! I'd give more stars if I could as my 16 year old daughter took a class while we were on vacation from CO. She got up the very first wave and every time after that. Mike (instructor) was perfect for a first timer and Alex told us tide info, wind, etc. so that our experience was ideal. Really great, can't recommend enough.

Great surfing class! The instructors were great and made surfing fun and enjoyable. Definitely would recommend to anyone wanting a beginner class!

James is a great teacher! Patient, informative, and assuring, I left the lesson having a better idea of how to read waves and felt more comfortable in the ocean!

We had three days surfing class with one wave, great experience! Both Emma and James are great instructors! We have enjoyed our time in Manhattan Beach with one wave Surf School! Absolutely 5 star+!

Emma was a great teacher, had a lot of fun riding my first waves! two thumbs up!

Mike was amazing, and our lesson was significantly better than the only other lesson I've had (with a different company). 10/10 would surf again

Great! Easy logistics and finally learned how to stand up. Kris really tried to adjust his instruction to best fit how I was learning and that was great.

Mike is a top-notch teacher for both adults and children. My daughter and her friends couldn't stop raving about Mike after they took a group lesson with him. They told me that they learned more from him in 90 minutes than they did at a week-long surf camp. A friend and I have also taken a lesson from him and we were both impressed by his clear teaching style and ability to quickly assess our technique and provide feedback that we could understand and use. We hope to take future lessons with One Wave Surf.

Totally awesome experience, and excellent instruction. I'm a complete beginner, but my instructor, Mike, made me feel completely welcome and was really encouraging--and also he was a great teacher: clear and patient and obviously extremely skilled. I was up on the board within minutes of getting in the water.

Donovan Hayes

Great one-on-one surf lesson. I felt like the structure was perfect to help me get up and ride some waves as a beginner. My instructor got me comfortable with popping up before having me paddle on my own, which helped me get comfortable with the feeling of popping up. By the time I got to doing the paddling on my own, I was able to focus on just doing the paddling! Highly recommend for beginners to intermediate level surfers.

UPDATE: I received a full refund upon hearing about my poor experience. Hopefully this is a wake up call and a business opportunity! We all have off days. For starters: I am a regular surfer who was on a business trip and couldn’t bring my own wetsuit or board with me. I had called OneWave the day prior to see if they could accommodate an 8:30am rental in order to get an hour+ session in before my flight home. The customer service was gruff but got the job done. They were not receptive to a simple question about what might be the best board for the wave/conditions. They assumed I was a kook. Day of: Mike didn’t arrive until 9:15. He spent 10 minutes rifling to find a medium wetsuit (I had already volunteered my size the day before). The wetsuits were sandy/clearly unrinsed, raggedy and old. He was all excuses. I’m an easy going guy who never writes reviews but the whole experience really stunk.

OneWave was a terrific experience. Tyler was easy to communicate with and flexible and he got back to me quickly. He put me in touch with a great teacher that was right for my ability level and at a fair price. I’ll definitely go again when I’m back in LA!

Gareth Carter

Top marks to these guys. Very helpful from the start on advising on the best day/ time for my ability (not a beginner but not intermediate). The conditions and chosen spot to surf were perfection. My instructor Casey was brilliant, he kept me focused and encouraged in the water. Enough information to be able to think about, without being too much. Simple effective advice which resulted in me surfing at the best of my current ability. If I had more time I would have had more lessons. I shall certainly return next time I am in the area.

Amazing class! James, my instructor was super patient and amazingly helpful.. I finally get why people quit everything to go surfing. I can't recommend it enough

After years of wondering what surfing was like, I finally decided to live the experience. Since I was close to Manhattan beach in LA, I chose One Wave Surf for a private lesson and it was simply awesome! So Awesome that I took thee more lessons after that, all of them with Mike, who btw is a very cool guy and a very good teacher as well!
