As a first timer, this was a great surf experience! Our instructor was patient with us, provided background knowledge of waves and was encouraging through the learning process. All equipment rentals were provided. I will be coming back for another session!

I had a great experience with One Wave from start to finish. They were great with communication and making us feel ready for my lesson. Our instructor was awesome! We felt safe and excited and when we got up it was exhilarating! Thanks One Wave for a great day!

If you want to learn how to surf in the shortest amount of time, meet other local people learning how to surf, and get a great deal on your own gear, then look no further.

They have a great lesson plan, awesome instructors, and affordable classes. It's everything a beginning surfer like me needed at a very reasonable price.
