Group Surf Lesson (2 people) (Manhattan Beach) September 30, 2016Courtney is amazing! She was very friendly and patient with my kids (7,9). Very professional. The pictures are after one hour with Courtney (my kids first time surfing ever). They were thrilled!
Although, we have a problem. They are hooked now!!!
It is highly recommended -

Group Surf Lesson (2 people) (Manhattan Beach) August 10, 2016My daughter and I booked a lesson with Wavehuggers. It was my first time trying to surf, and my daughter's 2nd or 3rd. We both learned a lot from Helina, who was informative and encouraging, and we had so much fun! We couldn't have asked for a better teacher! Plus, their pricing is fantastic! Thank you, Wavehuggers!

Group Surf Lesson (2 people) (Manhattan Beach) June 21, 2016Helina was a great instructor. The lesson was for me and my 3 teenage kids. Helina was positive and supportive of all us and was sensitive to the range of our skill level and physical capabilities. She went out of her way to ensure that we had the best experience possible. We are big fans and would definitely recommend this group.

Private Surfing Lesson (Manhattan Beach) May 11, 2016My sister and I had such a fun time at our lesson! Jack was a great (and extremely patient) instructor. Booking and coordinating the timing and location were so easy. Definitely recommend Wavehuggers to anyone who wants to try out surfing.

Private Surfing Lesson (Manhattan Beach) May 4, 2016Awesome staff, (Helina and Cheyne are both great). Excellent communication, on time and knowledgeable when instructing. Definitely a recommended company to use for both first time wave riders and veterans alike. The team is able to tailor the experience and teaching style based on who is taking the lesson and the size of the group. This is a great company!

Private Surfing Lesson (Manhattan Beach) April 30, 2016before and have spent only minimal time in the ocean prior to my lessons with Max.
My instructor, Max, was all you could hope for. He is the type of person you can tell has a real passion for what he does.
Max was also very patient in explaining everything you need to do to get going. He was also extremely positive throughout my trials and tribulations trying to stand up on that damn board, always with a smile on his face.
Thanks for the great time! Would definitely recommend. -

Group Surf Lesson (2 people) (Manhattan Beach) April 22, 2016We scheduled first time lessons for our teenagers with Wavehuggers and had Jonah as our instructor. He was fabulous! He made the effort to get to know their individual personalities and did a great job of working with them individually to get them both surfing by the end of the lesson. We would definitely recommend Wavehuggers to anyone. The booking process was easy and efficient. Thanks for a memorable vacation!

Private Surfing Lesson (Manhattan Beach) March 30, 2016To begin with, Helina is extremely communicative and it was easy to make a plan that worked for both of us.
She's friendly, fun, encouraging and patient, and explained the aspects of the board, popping up, how to paddle out and begin to (try to) catch the waves.
She took into account my previous experience, limited as it is, and an injury I am recovering from.
Each time I tried to get up, she helped me to learn from that experience.
I appreciated that she addressed how the waves were breaking and how that affects getting up (or not.)
Helina is relaxed and calm, present and tuned in to what a student is doing, and will remind you that you just have to keep on trying.
She also will let you know what an ideal time for the lesson is based on the tide and the weather so that you get the most out of the experience.
I'll definitely book another lesson when I'm in town!
(I can see that she'd probably be great with actual kids, not just overgrown ones like me!) -

Group Surf Lesson (2 people) (Manhattan Beach) March 26, 2016Helina runs a wonderful group of instructors. Our daughter (8 at the start) has been having lessons with them for almost a year now. Always accommodating and wonderful. She has a wonderful time with them. We would recommend them to anyone wanting to get into surfing or just want to try something new. We will back for our son as well as to help our daughter move to the next level. Thanks WH.

Group Surf Lesson (2 people) (Manhattan Beach) March 2, 2016Wavehuggers was great. We originally scheduled our lesson for a day when the surf was super high, so they willingly rescheduled us for another day when it was more our speed Helina was really energetic and clear with her instruction which was really helpful to us. I will definitely recommend them to friends who are interested in surf lessons! Thanks, Helina!

Group Surf Lesson (2 people) (Manhattan Beach) January 19, 2016My five year old son and I had a private lesson with Jessica this past Saturday at Doheny beach. It was an absolute blast. My son was able to ride his very first wave all the way in. The equipment was great including the small wetsuit. Jessica did an outstanding job making the experience fun for us both. We will definitely be back!

Group Surf Lesson (2 people) (Manhattan Beach) January 14, 2016My 16 year old daughter had a GREAT time learning to surf with Helina at Wavehuggers! She did a one on one lesson, and accommodated our hectic holiday schedule. She was really nice and knowledgeable, and they had a fun time. All of the equipment (surf board, wetsuit, etc.) was in great shape and the wetsuit actually kept her really warm even though it was late December! We did the lesson out of Manhattan beach which was very cool and had good waves. Since it was a starter lesson, they didn't go out too deep, but still got a lot of consistent waves - enough for her to get her feet up on the board pretty well. And, when we got done, my son (12) who had tagged along, said he wanted to try surfing some time.
I would definitely recommend Wavehuggers! -

Group Surf Lesson (3 people) (Manhattan Beach) November 3, 2015As first time surfers, we had a great experience with Wavehuggers - Helina was easy to work with and Connor (our instructor) was a great surfer and teacher! Would definitely recommend Wavehuggers to anyone new to surfing in the SoCal area!

Group Surf Lesson (3 people) (Manhattan Beach) August 20, 2015Super friendly and helpful surf instructors. We had a family of 5 novices and Helina and Andrew were great. My only tip would be about instructor coverage. Andrew went with the grownups and Helina with the kids. My youngest couldn't get past the surf with his board so Helina had to help him almost the whole time leaving my other two on their own. Wasn't her fault but we should have split up differently or asked for a third instructor.

Group Surf Lesson (3 people) (Manhattan Beach) May 15, 2015I had such a great time surfing today! I was a little nervous since I have only been in the ocean once before and have never surfed in my life. My instructor Helina was awesome, she did a great prep with me on the beach and I was reading to go out with in about 20 minutes. What a great experience, I am now hooked and want to surf all the time!!!
