I wouldn't change a thing! Despite the minor language barrier, I felt incredibly comfortable. Jake, my instructor, did an excellent job explaining the basics. Thanks to his tips and tricks, I went from being a complete beginner who had never set foot on a surfboard to catching my own waves and surfing independently after just 3 lessons! :) I had a blast and always felt secure.

I’ve always dreamed of learning how to surf and since taking a few lessons with Badass Surf I can honestly say my surfing has improved every single time. Every class I’ve stood up on the board, started learning to read waves, and left with a big smile on my face. If you’re looking for supportive and knowledgeable instructors who will help you every step of the way, this is the place to go. Super grateful for Jake and his team of instructors, couldn’t be happier with my experience!

Legit. They were on time, clear instructions on where to meet, brought all the gear, gave a good lesson on wave timing, pop ups, and swimming out. Then it was into the water with great supervision but enough freedom and flexibility to go for it and really learn by practicing. Throughout, we felt well taken care of and safe. It was sad when the lesson ended but we’ll be back for sure.

Had a blast taking a lesson with BASS with Jake. Myself and three friends went out on a Saturday am and learned the basics of surfing / safety on land before each getting into the water individually for our first ride. Everyone stood up and caught numerous waves. We had a great day. Can’t wait for our next lesson!

a few details, my nephew and i took two lessons together this week with our very own instructor. i’ve taken a surf lesson or two before but my nephew was completely new. what i liked about this company was that it really felt like a personal experience. our instructor jeff had some really detailed tips for both of us, individually, even though we, at different surf levels, did the lesson together. jake, the owner, seemed really passionate about developing surfers, which is why we decided badass surf school. even though i’m no badass, surfing sure was with these guys.

Love Badass surf school. Just finished my second batch of four sessions, and feeling more confident each week. Jeff Byrnes is an excellent coach, not just concerned with getting you on the waves, but of paramount safety awareness in the ocean. He teaches surf etiquette and some fun surf history. More importantly, I get Jeff every week, whereas other surf schools I've tried have assigned different coaches which makes it hard for them to give you individual feedback. Jake Mcnulty, the owner is also great. Communicative, supportive, and great attitude. Can't recommend them more, especially for adults learning to surf a bit later in life.

Great lesson with Jake! Kids loved it and learned so much in just a couple of hours. By the end of the lesson they were up on their boards riding the surf. What an amazing experience in Venice beach!

Our 5yr old did his first surf lesson with Jake and had a BLAST. Jake was extremely understanding and patient, and when our son got scared and needed some time to run around on the beach, Jake went with the flow and slowly got him back interested in the crabs. Totally amazing introduction to the waves, and our 3yr old even got to jump on for a bit. Can't wait to come back for more lessons and highly recommend.

Today was the best day of my life. I’ve Always had a dream of surfing and I booked a lesson with Badass Surf School! Jake and Jeff were extremely kind and knowledgeable. I’ve never been surfing and I was able to catch a wave or three! I will definitely be back to learn more !! 🤙🏾 -Monique C
