Amita Woods: Amazing instructor and very fun. Wagner was super passionate and we had a great time!
Lauren Turney: Wagner is a great instructor. I had so much fun learning the technique and skills to surf. I was able to stand on the board multiple times. After the one to one instruction I was able to practice on my own. Looking forward to my next lesson!
Aubrey Duffield: Wagnar was an awesome teacher and helped us surf! Great price and good experience. Waves could’ve been better the day we went out but still got up! I recommend this surf school!
Teran Houston: Top tier service! Quick and EASY!!! Best spot in all of Venice. Wagner is by far the nicest, most professional surfer out there!!
Mike Chan: When I go to visit Venice, Wagner is the only guy I reach out to. I've gotten two lessons with Venice Surf Shack, and have rented boards and wetsuits from him a few times too. Super chill dude, great group of instructors, and also a great place to learn how to surf. Couldn't recommend these guys more!
yasi P: We had an amazing surf lesson with Wagner! He was very kind and patient with us and you can tell he’s very passionate about surfing. Definitely recommend!
Evan Cole: We booked a surf lesson and rented surf boards and wet suits from these guys and it was an amazing experience! Our instructor, Wagner, was the best teacher ever! He’s super passionate about what he does and it shows in his work. They were easy to communicate with and even let us drop off our wet suits and surfboards with them while we took a break and go some lunch. Would definitely recommend these guys!!
Teran: Top Tier kinda guy, Wagoner is! Seriously made my friend and I feel so comfortable and helped us ride a few waves our first time ever on a surf board. Amazing day and I’ll rent from here always
Tanner Keyes: Wagner was the best instructor you could ask for! I had so much fun!! On top of learning how to surf I was able to make friends along the way too!
Kanan Vitolo: Absolutely the best experience for these first timers
Noah Thomas: Best surf lessons in Venice. Amazing customer service. Wagner, the owner, is fantastic and does everything to make sure your experience is great. My instructor, AJ, was also really good. He’s an experienced surfer and a great instructor.
Gigi Miller: This is an excellent surf school. I was able to get a surf lesson easily. The surf instructor, AJ, was there on time and gave good instruction and has patience. Wagner is the owner and expedited the lesson well and coordinated for the next lesson. I look forward to it!
Sarita Rhysa: Felt welcomed and in good hands! Had a great time, nice vibes and good people. River was a patient and thoughtful instructor. He explained things clearly; his guidance and advice made one of the hardest to learn sports easy to understand!
Fa PO: Professional and funOur teenagers loved their lessons
Suzi Neubauer: He definitely knows what he is doing. I taught snowboarding for many years, so I know what it takes to get your students to understand. Also surfing is way more intense!
Adam Inche: Yaya was brilliant and really encouraging, even though I was quite bad! I just rocked up and they gave me a private lesson there and then... probably worth booking though as it was pretty quiet!
jacob lejdström: Freindly and professional, good quality gear, this is the type of surf school you hope of getting when you book. Do it!
Dimitri Häring: Had my first surf lesson today. It was awesome thx to my instructor Carol! Highly recommended it. Precise explained in a calm manner that you really don’t have to be nervous to catch a wave, you simply will! And so flexible in scheduling!

Katie Freitag: getting them up on the board. They are all asking to go back!
HYIM VIBE: Totally professional and patience. Was my first time surfing and had a great time and definitely feel confident to give it a go again. I would definitely recommend these guys and these instructors to anyone.
Allison M: . Jeff knew so much about surfing and surf history; I feel like we learned a lot about how to properly and safely surf, but also about the great surfers around the world. He was extremely patient with us and adapted his teaching to our specific skills/needs as the lesson went on. We definitely improved over the course of the hour in the water and my friend even managed to stand up successfully a couple of times, which he couldn't do before. Overall, I would say it was a very rewarding and fun morning. If I lived in town, I would definitely be seeking lessons from Jeff consistently as I believe he could really turn someone from a complete newbie to a decent surfer.
Luis Venegas: This was my 2nd time surfing ever, and I booked a private lesson. It was a great experience! Learned so much and definitely recommend this group. Nick and fellow surfers are very helpful, supportive, and super pros. I felt comfortable and confident learning from my instructor. Definitely inspired to keep my surfing journey going.
Pei Zhou: Sean is a wonderful instructor. I arrived 10 min late and we practiced longer than planned. It is very beginner-friendly and every equipment is provided to you. Highly recommend to anyone who is interested in getting into surfing!
Ryan Whiteman: The experience was fantastic. Nick and Jeff were extremely nice and skilled instructors. Would recommend.
Wes Manning: When stumbling across this place, I didn’t know I was stepping into a gold mine of surfing knowledge! I couldn’t imagine a better first experience, all thanks to Jeff, a well seasoned surfer and brilliant instructor! Each person in the group class was given ample attention, it was a pleasure from beginning to end!!
Divya Taparia: They were really shaving and I had a fun time learning from them
Molly Aamodt: I recently booked surf lessons for my husband, myself, and our teenage girls through Aloha Surf Brothers with Jeff, and I must say, it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Jeff was thorough, ensuring we all understood the basics before hitting the waves, yet he didn't waste any time getting us out there and catching waves. His knowledge of surfing is extensive, and he was incredibly attentive to my girls, making sure they felt comfortable and confident in the water.We had such a great time during our lessons and felt like we learned a lot. Jeff's teaching style is effective, and he made the whole experience enjoyable for the whole family. We will definitely be planning to come back again for more lessons with Jeff. If you're looking for a surf instructor who is patient, knowledgeable, and fun, Jeff is your guy! Highly recommend!
Roberto Brichese: After almost 10 years it was phenomenal to take another lesson with Nick, from LA to Hawaii where he was born and raised! Amazing experience surfing with someone who knows the ocean so well. Available, super nice and approachable. Experience not to be missed 🙌🏻. Until next time man 🤙🏻🌺
Damita Collins: I was looking for a surf school in Venice and luckily a friend recommended Nick's to me, he is very nice and speaks French fluently.I always wanted to learn to surf and finally I took 3 lessons with a friend and my 16 year old godson visiting LA.I was lucky to have Sean as a coach, he is adorable, patient and efficient! I was a little scared at first but he was able to reassure me, thanks to him my dream came true and I continue to surf.I highly recommend this school, regardless of your level and physical fitness.Aloha brothers!I was looking for a surf school in Venice and luckily a friend recommended Nick's to me, he is very nice and speaks French fluently.I always wanted to learn to surf and finally I took 3 lessons with a friend and my 16 year old godson visiting LA.I was lucky to have Sean as a coach, he is adorable, patient and efficient!

Sylvia, Yichen Sun: to surf with Jeff the pro! Learn new tricks for “bigger” swell 💪🌊🏄I have a little surfing experience before, and I will take surfing lessons when I have the opportunity to travel! I will continue to learn from the aloha brothers in the future~
Jiawen Zhang: A friend took me to learn surfing in Hawaii with Nick. He patiently taught me the basic movements of surfing and chose the beach that was most suitable for me based on my level. What's even more impressive is that Nick is a coach who pays great attention to the safety of students' sports. Therefore, during my lessons with him, I not only fully enjoyed surfing, but also learned a lot about how to keep myself safe while surfing.I highly recommend anyone who wants to learn surfing seriously and systematically to take lessons with Nick. He is also very talkative and the lessons are very interesting!
Haisu Ju: Nick is a very responsible and attentive coach. I took several classes with him in Hawaii and at Venice Beach. During this period, he not only gave me suggestions for improvement, but more importantly, taught me how to protect myself and avoid injuries in the sport of surfing. I highly recommend him to everyone, he's given me an exciting new hobby!
Anna Koch: Had an awesome time learning how to surf with the great Aloha Brothers team this summer. Highly recommend!
Abe Harris: Got an intermediate private lesson from Taylor and feel like I learned a lot. Overall great experience. Definitely recommend…
Emma Cooney: was perfect and I never felt overwhelmed by the waves or unsafe. Thank you Aloha Brothers!
Jessie Ann Bastien: I loved my experience! I had the chance to take my classes with Sean. He was patient and very kind, I had a lot of fun in his company. I recommend Aloha Brothers to anyone who wants to learn to surf!

Cinthya Neri: I totally recommend the school to everyone. They are really friendly and helpful. Popo, the instructor, was the best - gave me lots of feedback and was very patient and happy. I had a lot of fun thanks to this school. I hope one day I can return! 🙏🏼
Dominique Monie: I did a group intermediate lesson with Popo with a couple of other people I knew and had a great time. All the folks at Dawn Patrol were friendly and helpful. The lesson was great and I felt like I learned a few things. Popo gave me some good pointers and it was really interesting to review the videos at the end and be able to see what he'd been seeing and what I needed to work on. I would definitely recommend Dawn Patrol.
Kristina Oshanova: The best surf school! While I was in Indonesia I tried a few surf schools, but Dawn Patrolwere the absolute best. Very professional, very patient, good communication and I believe very good value for money. The prices are more or less the same everywhere for a private lesson, however they equip you with everything you need, they pick you up if you need a ride, they teach you and then film and analyse your performance and all that while you have so much positive energy good attitude. They really made me feel like I can actually start surfing 😃Angga thank you for some of the best party waves ever and your patience and Andi for the good organisation and the best videos!Hope to see you again next year 🤙🏻🌊🏄🏻♀️
Frank Oosterveld: Had a blast of a time surfing 3 days in a row with my gf. Went twice out by boat and another time they filmed us to analyse the stance. Would 100/100 recommend. Popo was an amazing, patient and skilled instructor. Thanks guys!
Fabio Pacucci: Hi guys, is super high recommended this surf school, all for them are the best teachers you can find to improve and have good time in uluwatu, I been surfing already in Australia but thanks to them they teach me and show me with video all the little mistake I was doing.. Edo was my teacher he always push me and teach me everything about how to read the waves, tide, everything super amazing person also ❤️ and was the best experience I had in Bali, but all the teacher are very nice Aka, Angga everyone super polite and even when I was just surfing by myself there were always support me to challenge and help me always always always and to all the other guys there were there with me.If you want to start or improve go with them.I can't wait to come back again and enjoy again the down patrol family 😃❤️I told them is was like the best time I ever surf in my life even because they always choose nice spot were you can improve.Special times and best memories ever.Thank you so much guys..See you soon 😊 🙏🙏🙏🙏Fabio
jasper honer: I had such a fun time today out in the waves at Balangan. Akaa is a top professional teacher, and Dawn Partol Bali is such an open and fun community to be a part of. The video analyse helped me also a lot, I now know how I can improve myself.
George Morgan: All of the guys here are excellent, the one-on-one lessons are 100% worth it. They get you great spots in the lineup, talk you through how to improve and do video analysis after your session.
Thomas Klitsie: Professionally organized. Great team
Chris Daly: Great team, super friendly , greater instructors and even gave us a lift each day!
Gina Chan: for a better surf experience as it’s a reefy beach floor. Other than that, the people were great, friendly and fast response to WhatsApp too.
123 456: Really awesome coaches, organizers, videographers! All round smooth and I learned more in the 3 sessions than all my other sessions before it leading up to it. Great price too for what you getHighly recommend!
Mara Gander: thank yooou!
Cécile Moreau: A top school 🤩! Perfect and smiling welcome! Great, caring teachers and relevant advice! Great debriefing with video feedback.Thanks everyone! And maybe see you next year 🤞🏄♀️🙏See you soonCecile
Liis Pung: Akaa, Andi and the whole DPB team are simply amazing! They do their work with passions and their number one goal is yo make you a better surfer. No matter your level they make sure you will get some good waves in & some very helpful feedback! I got lot of helpful pointers to progress, a lot insight about the spots we went to + feedback sessions based on the videos of the session. Added to this they have a lot of boards to chose from for different conditions if you’re keen to try another board or just rent one.I spent 3 weeks in Bali and had a blast, the whole DPB team played a huge part of it 🏼Solid 12/10 🙌🏻
Gergely Németh: Everyone was really nice and helpful. I learned a lot and had a really good time! Thank you!
Marilyn Descoins-Jossaume: Excellent surf school, surf schools in France should take inspiration from this teachingTHANKS
Jules Vaessen: Great surf school! We had a lot of fun and we made very quick progress. After the surf lessons, they review the footage that they take to know what to improve on next. Everyone is very friendly and Ucup was the best teacher.
Luca Carobbio: Beautiful experience with Dawn Patrol Bali!Very passionate, professional and nice guys 😃I have been doing 2 intermediate courses for 3 days and since I only surf on vacation the result was very fulfilling! Top line up security management and well done video support.Thank you guys!See you soonLuca
Leena Zhou: I had an excellent week with Dawn Patrol! Akaa, Popo & Gery went above and beyond to focus on my riding style & technique, as well as get onto some waves that I would have struggled to get on alone. Our 2 hr sessions were solely dedicated towards my development and the video analysis allowed us to create key goals to focus on for the days ahead.Well worth the money for the level of attention. I can’t wait for another session!

Sebastian Creighton-Hsu: Amazing experience and the instructors were very nice and would definitely recommend to people who want to learn to surf. They teach you the basic and make sure you don’t pick up bad habits. I really feel like I learned a lot.
Pandora Nox: It was a great experience, we had our very first surfing lesson with Luke, explained it very well and was very helpful, friendly and uncomplicated! Highly recommended
Pedro Ávila: Marty is exactly what the world needs. And he has surfboards and wetsuits of all shapes and sizes for a fair price, and gives lessons in a professional, fun, and welcome way.
Tor Ivar Gjellesvik: Excellent service. Higly competent staff who willingly share their expertise🇺🇸😀 Good quality products👍
Julia M: Liam instructed my boyfriend and me on our very first surfing lesson! He explained the anatomy of the board and how to ride. He’s super nice, patient, and fun to work with! He’s from South Africa and owns a surfing business there, so his experience made the training lesson safer and more fun!
Angie Alexander: and son
Dan Gormley: . Good short teaching session on the beach and then was able to guide us in the water so we all got up on some waves. Definitely recommend if you are in Venice or Santa Monica. If your kids want to do it, you should do it with them
Brendan McFerran: I was fortunate enough to visit Kapowi in Santa Monica for my girlfriend's birthday. She knew how to surf and I didn't. But Marty and Luke taught me well! They were so detailed and calm in their instructions. I would highly recommend coming to this outfit if you are new to surfing or experienced. I feel very lucky to have learned from the best!
Charlotte Steinway: I booked lessons with Marty and Luke for my birthday; it was my boyfriend's first time surfing and he popped up successfully almost every time using their technique! They were both so knowledgable and skilled; 10/10 would recommend a lesson!
Judi Thompson: Thank you so much for the amazing experience! Clay was awesome, my daughter was able to get up right away thanks to him.Would totally recommend anytime your lucky enough to pass through Venice Beach. Everyone was super friendly, including the sweet pup! Hang Ten 🤙🏾
MayaW: Cannot give Kapowui enough praise. Liam was amazing, patient, kind, funny and very knowledgeable.We had two adults and two children and he went out of his way to make all of us comfortable and paid extra attention to the kids making sure they were safe and got up on the board. Keeping them safe means him diving under the waves to them after a wave goes over to make sure they’re okay, helping to hold their boards when a wave would come, holding their board through the wave so they could be stabilized and feel confident.When I got tossed in a wave myself he came over immediately to check on me, give advice on how to prepare and handle a larger wave coming at you and your board and then pumps you up to try again! He was truly just lovely to be around.We all had a blast and it is now our favorite family memory. Ask for Liam if you can but also the other instructors seemed just as nice and knowledgeable, I don’t think you can go wrong with any instructor at Kapowui.The van is easy to spot and there’s lots of parking by it. You’ll have to carry your board a decent distance to Lifeguard stand 29 but Liam showed us two ways to carry the boards so switching it up every so often helps the carrying of the board.You’ll get sized for your wetsuit at the van and if it happens to be chilly out like it was for us..the wetsuits warm you up as soon as you put them on and you can’t even feel the cold water it’s great.I’d give 1000 stars on the review if I could ⭐️
Sam Walker: This was a veryyyy good lesson, one on one! My kid really got the hang of it this time! I've been getting him a lesson every time we visit the ocean and he loves it, this was by far the best! His teacher was amazing!
Dani Brancato: The only place to take a lesson in LA. Diego was a great instructor, especially if you need someone who speaks Spanish. 10/10 service
Sydney Martin: We had the best time EVER with Taylor she is such a good teacher. Gnarly waves dude 🙏🙏🤙🤙🤙🤙🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️ come surf here if you haven’t come before
Mackenzie Hendrickson: We had an amazing morning w River! It was our first time and we both rode several waves! So fun and will for sure be back
Patrick Clark: Great surfing experience! Lots of fun and very attentive instructor
May Moorefield: Had the best time!! This was my first time surfing, and the team was so knowledgeable. They made it so easy to learn and by the end of the lesson I caught a few waves

Hannah Fletcher: Go surf la is fantastic! I booked a private surf lesson this past weekend and Oscar was our instructor! He is a wonderful teacher and made they lesson fun and taught me and my husband a lot of new skills. Oscar helped us correct and fix our pop ups, taught us turns and worked with us on catching green waves. Since our lesson we both have been able to use and practice all the skills we were taught! This lesson definitely helped us move forward in our surfing skills and we are excited to keep learning!
Be: Go Surf LA, is great. Oscar and Owen are dope instructors and really make you enjoy your entire lesson. Angie took photos of me during my session and they are amazing! I would recommend booking with them hands down!

Vinny Greco: Moved from NY, rented a board from these guys a couple times, easily top 10 experiences of my life, caught my first real wave on a day with crystal clear water and HUNDREDS of leopard sharks swimming with the wave. Check them out, perfect location, awesome crew.
Robin Heil: Peter, Zach, and Owen were all approachable, friendly, and gave clear, easy to follow instructions. They made sure everyone got an equal amount of help. They have plenty of boards and suits so everyone can get the correct size. The location is fantastic.
Park Yeonji: .Conclusion: Highly recommended surfing school!My husband and I used it for two days. I took lessons and even rented equipment, and he was always very kind. Even if you are a little worried about English, the instructor's explanations are easy and the pronunciation is clear, so you don't have to worry about this. Even if you are not good at surfing or are doing it for the first time, I think you can give it a try. The beach is also good for beginners, so if you visit, be sure to stop by!
Yannan Collins: Great and friendly staff! highly recommend
