Coronado Surfing Academy has offered surfing lessons on Coronado Island since 2004, providing lessons for surfers of all abilities with a commitment to safety, service, and fun. The 90-minute class begins with a 30-minute land session covering equipment, pop-up stances, and basic water safety to set students up for success. The second portion moves into the water to put the lessons to the test, focusing on the ride and the smiles that come with it. Reviewers describe it as the best in town, with great service and a super easy, smooth process. Students report an amazing, really fun experience with incredibly helpful and knowledgeable instructors who guide beginners from their first attempts to standing up on their own. The lessons are noted as a solid training session and a great balance of instruction and in-the-water time catching waves. Instructors make surfers feel at ease, work at their pace, and provide small useful tips with every wave. The academy is commended for excellent communication and a willingness to adapt lessons inclusively. The overall experience is highly recommended, with many guests stating they would definitely come back.

Absolutely an amazing time! Our kids loved it! Jacobi was great and the kids were in the water quickly. Both were up riding in right away. It was an experience coming from Georgia, and it was worth every minute! Communication was excellent with Ryan. He let us know where to Uber to. Thank you for all the memories .
