Surf Diva is San Diego's #1 Surf School and can give year round lessons to anyone in the family, aged 5 years and up. There is no better place to learn how to surf than La Jolla Shores Beach! Surf Diva provides wetsuits and boards for you to use during your lesson. They also offer Standup Paddle Board (SUP) lessons which are all the rage with celebrities right now. It's fabulous exercise and I'm going to try it soon.
If for some reason you weren't planning on going in the ocean during your La Jolla vacation, don't let that discourage you from taking a surf or SUP lesson. All the gear you need (bathing suits, sunscreen, towels, flip flops, etc) can be found at La Jolla Shores, including in the fabulous Surf Diva store.
Surf Diva is a family run business and sisters Izzy and Coco couldn't be nicer. They do a lot for the local community here in La Jolla too. If you're going to learn to surf, hands down they are the ones to call. As far as I know, they are the only surfing school with all of the proper city operating permits. Also, all Surf Diva instructors are certified First Aid and CPR. Check out their website for more details at www.surfdiva.com.
If you're from out of town, you can't visit CA without surfing! Your entire family will love it.
