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.
Best experience ever! The instructors were awesome, patient, and made surfing so much fun. I had the time of my life and can’t wait to come back!
