Endless Sun Surf School

Had my first surf lesson here today. Amazing instructors and an amazing experience. Amy and her team are the best. If you want to learn how to surf then you need to go to Newport Beach with the Endless Sun Surf team. I felt really safe with this really cool surf school.

Had my second surf lesson ever today! Vacationing in the area and decided to give it another go with Tim this morning. It was a little colder than I expected, but nothing compared to the waters back home!
Tim was great, got in a ton of waves in my 2 hour session. Very patient, gave me tips and pointers on a everything from simply getting up on the board to how to read waves. Was great and if I have any friends that come to the area, I’ll suggest they take a lesson from them!

My special needs son took lessons from them starting 6 years ago. Now his little sister does. Both of them love Tim and Amy!

As an out-​of-​towner looking for a quick surf lesson while on a business trip, I couldn’t have asked for a better (or easier!) experience. My instructor, River, was so sweet for our 1:1 lesson – he arrived on time, quickly sized me up for a wetsuit, locked away my belongings, and started with a quick beach lesson before heading into the ocean. Not only was he incredibly skilled in explaining the technique, but was so considerate-​he carried my board on the beach, retrieved my board when it got away from me, guided me onto each wave, and was just super fun to chat with in the ocean. I definitely caught a few waves, but just had a blast learning more about the sport, the ocean, and Newport. I would highly recommend Endless Surf to anyone looking for a first-​time surf lesson! Amazing experience :)

My 6 year old had an AMAZING week at this school! She loved the camp. The instructors were all awesome, giving her the attention that she needed and the encouragement to keep going. She was able to get up on the board her first day! Would highly recommend them for anyone looking to take surfing lessons.

for our whole family the best surf school ever!!! both of my kids love to surf with this great endless sun surf team! I started with great private lessons there and try my best to keep it up

Loved it! I finally was able to stand up and ride a wave, and a BUNCH of times. Shelby is the greatest, patient and fun! I would recommend them to anybody wanting to learn.
Also the spot where they teach is great for learning. Great price and service.
Thank you guys!

This was a great class that my son enjoyed and learned a lot in. Tim and Amy are Fantastic instructors. My son always looks forward to going to class and learning everything he can so he can be a better surfer. We are currently in the Tuesday afternoon classes with Tim and Amy.

Tim and Amy provide a great service for anyone looking to try and learn how to surf. They provide the boards, wetsuits and even a book that visually explains surfing safety, how to surf including a vocabulary section.
They were very patient with my 7 year old son, helped him carry his board out and nudging him to catch the waves. They bring a great attitude and seem to really enjoy what they do. My son can’t wait to sign up again.

Super fun for all ages!!! Endless Sun is the best place for kids to learn how to surf in SoCal! Great staff, very professional and always fun! My two sons have learned so much since joining ESSS. They’re love for surfing and they’re passion for the ocean has grown drastically and its been so fun to watch. Awesome location too! Thanks to Tim and Amy, you guyz Rock!

My 7 year old son surfs twice a week with Tim & Amy over at Endless Sun Surf School. I couldn’t ask for more knowledgeable and patient surf instructors. I never worry about my son’s safety in the ocean when he is with them. They make surfing so fun for the kids with competitions and trophies. My son absolutely LOVES going to class with them. They also do a great job of teaching their students to respect their peers and to also respect the environment and the ocean they are surfing in. When he started with them 1 year ago he had done nothing more than play around on his boogie board… now he comes home telling me about all the «awesome waves» he caught.

Great lessons! Great people! My daughter LOVES going to her surf lessons. She also just enrolled in their yoga class! They are easy to communicate with, water safety and fun is a priority. My daughter started when she was 6 and I never thought she would really be surfing as much as she is but they made her comfortable in the water and taught her to respect the ocean and to be safe. Now she teaches me to surf. 5 stars for SURE!

Took a week long surf camp over the summer with my sister and nephew and had a blast. Not only did I find something to do with my Ohana, but I found a new love for the ocean, being fit and enjoying life being in the water. Scott was great and my nephew had a blast learning with Chandler. My nephew also did after school surf camp during the fall and he lived it and made new surfing friends! I recommend this surf school to anyone and everyone. They make it comfortable and fun! Looking forward to going to endless sun again soon to learn more about surfing and hopefully one day hang ten. Mahalo and Aloha endless sun surf!

I have been wanting to surf forever and tried different surf lessons in the newport beach area and hawaii.
the 5 day Surf Camp at Endless Surf are the best for 3 reasons. (1) the best deal for 5 days of surf class and lots and lots of surf time so you get to learn in different conditions. (2) great location right at the pier at Newport Beach so lots of long waves for learning, shallow beach so less tiring, less lugging around of gear and easy deal if you need to switch sizes. (3) the real reason: the instructors are really fantastic — they are patient, really want you to learn, not so concerned about the clock or the dollar, and all have a good time with you. because there were so many instructors all at once, it was like being surrounded by a bunch of pros, each with a different bit of advice that added up to lots of knowledge. im an older woman and even though lots of the other surf camp students were youngsters, i never felt uncomfortable bc the teachers are so cool to be around and gave lots and lots of attention.
and yes, i finally finally finally think i can catch some waves!!!

I signed up for the week long summer class with two friends. It is early, 8AM-10:30AM, but after the first day it all made sense. We have to get there before the regular beach people so we don’t run anyone over.
The class is mostly consisted of 10 year old boys and girls who are a bit older. The three of us stood out, but when these spry kids mastered standing up by the first day, we stood out even more.
The instructors are great! I would give them a ten out of five. They are all really nice and supportive. They are super strong, like strong enough to drag you and your board out, and then push out forward to catch a wave. Scott, the guy who handles everything, is very nice and really wants us to understand how to surf proper. Brett is very funny and encourages us to try and feel how to surf. We laugh because he is the kind of guy who will tell you that everytime you fall, you learn something. Actually, not really but he is so great that I kept falling again and again and trying to learn something. Dave just makes you feel so safe. He is super tall and strong and nice. Everyone is just so nice! I want to say Gina is the best though. She gave us the best advice today, to grip the board. Seriously. She inspires us.
I want to say that the handout booklet they give you is GOLDEN. There is a section totally dedicated to surfer etiquette. There is also a vocabulary sections so I can feel like an authentic surfer.
They provide soft surfboards, but they are still really heavy. My arms are tired from carrying them. They also provide wetsuits. That is pretty great. However, I guess I either rapidly lose weight or they think I am bigger than I am, all the wetsuits seem to be too big for me! Those silly small kids take the tiny ones.
Endless Fun Surf is just great.
My only issue, other than the terrorizing weather, is that it is five days in a row. My arms and knees are badly chaffed, my muscles are so sore, and my face is like, a million times darker than my body. The waves were so vicious and washed away my waterproof sunscreen in the first hour. The water then reflects the sun so my face, the only part of my body consistently out of the water, tans incredibly fast. That, and my skin tans fast. But this is insane. I get that this schedule forces the surfer to pick up everything very quickly, but it exhausts my body. Yikes!
Also, we picked a funny time to learn how to surf. Last week there were waves around 15 feet high in Newport, so this week has been those crazy waves dying down. Monday was crazy. I got so beaten up by the water. I felt so ridiculous because I only got to try and surf less than 5% of the time I spent in the water. The battle out was everything else.
I feel so buff now though. That is cool. In the end, the great surf instructors make Endless Fun Surf really great. The intense schedule mixed with the crazy surf and my body crumbling gives them a four. I’d add a half if I could, because they can’t control those things!
