Surf Diva Surf School

Came in last weekend with my sister. It was 8:45 am and it was the only shop open and I was looking for sandals. However, I spent around 20 minutes in the shop and left with a few other casual things. Me and my sister think the experience was made by Cassie. Great, positive, enticing energy… Will be back to La Jolla in the next few weeks and will definitely be back to surf.

Brandon was a perfect instructor. I can’t believe after watching many YouTube videos that I was doing so many things incorrectly. The moment I did all the points he suggested I surfing along the face of the waves which is EXACTLY what I wanted, so I was stoked. I will keep on practicing. Thank you Brandon!!!

Great place! Very good customer service! AND everything you but goes to a good cause! It was nice to shop and feel good about it.

Asked to leave at 4pm. Usually a must go to when I visit from out of town. Sad that employees are so ready to go home rather than work.

Rented a longboard from Cassie and she was great. I was late getting out of the water because the waves were frequent and fun and literally ran back to the shop since I knew they were closing but she waited for me (she kindly held my phone and wallet) and was kind and cool. 9′ epoxy was decent but cool attitude made the experience a 5 star.

AMAZING! My husband and I just took surf lessons with Maryann and it was AMAZING! We were scheduled to take lessons at Surf Sessions in Del Mar for my husband’s birthday, but ended up having a terrible experience (you can read my review on their Unilocal page). Surf Divas got us in for private lessons on short notice and had everything we needed (rash guards, wet suits, Surf boards, leash, etc.). Maryann was super nice and helped us through everything. She even got both my husband and I standing up on the waves and neither of us had any experience. If you’re looking for some great lessons, look no further! This place is so awesome and we will for sure be back!

Surf Diva boutique is the best place in San Diego to get women’s surf gear. It all started with a real life Surf Diva who shared her passion for the surf by offering Women’s surf lessons. The ladies started to represent, surfing divas were no longer content wearing ill fitting men’s surf gear. Izzy and Coco brought fashion to the lineup.
The ladies loved the new options so much that even The New York times spread the buzz, and Surf Diva got the recognition that it deserved. This was the humble birth of surf couture for women. Surf Diva sells garments that fit ladies in cute shapes and colors, with sassy looks from the lineup to the sand.
This small store is filled to the brim with everything from sun protective clothing, surfboards, footwear, wax, dresses to sexy bikinis. Located in the heart of La Jolla Shores, parking is tight and you may have to walk a few blocks in those sexy 3 inch heels to get here. It is worth the trip, you will find everything you need to for a day at the beach or a night on the town.
As an added plus, this is a woman AND family owned business.

They set me up with a couple of surf board rentals — simple, friendly and affordable.

My mom and I took a lesson for Stand Up Paddle boarding, it was a private one hour lesson. Our instructor was Diego, he was awesome. We started learning the motions and how to sand on the boards on the beach. Then we went into the water and started paddling mostly on our knees. When the wind calmed down a bit Diego encouraged us to try and stand up and paddle. By the end of the lesson my mom and I felt pretty confident in our abilities. We both learned a lot today, and had a pretty good workout. I would totally come back for another lesson.

I had my first surf lesson with Rebekah at Surf Diva and it was great. I was able to get up almost immediately. I highly recommend it to those looking to learn how to surf for the first time. La Jolla beach is probably the best place to learn how to surf!

Thanks ladies! My daughter had a great camp! Great instructors! Really on top of things. Can’t be easy standing in the cold water with 5 or 6 kids all wanting to do their own thing. Saw one of the instructors keeping really good control when one of the kids wants to go and wash off after everyone else was already done and ready to go. I felt safe leaving my daughter with them.

Our family went to San Diego on vacation (from Seattle). Put our 14 yo girl and 10 year old boy in surf camp. And rented paddle boards and boogie boards ourselves the days the kids were in camp. Best vacation ever! They are «surfers» now! I thought 7 ½ hours of surfing on the beach every day would be too much for them, but they wanted to paddle out again in the evenings. The staff was positive and encouraging, as well as professional, vigilant, extremely safe, and best of all, «super cool». All the kids cheer when someone catches a wave. And the surf shop is the cutest place I’ve ever shopped. If you are considering surf camp for your kid, I couldn’t recommend Surf Diva more highly!

This weekend surf diva posted a clinic for 10 family members in La Jolla for a wedding. The instructors were professional, very concerned with safety, but also very focused on making the experience a lot of fun. They were successful on all counts. I could not give them a stronger recommendation. Outside of the wedding itself, everyone said this was the highlight of the trip.

Back to surfing after 40 plus years thanks to Surf Divas. Mother-​daughter bonding weekend spent in the water with 3 other great ladies and one fabulous instructor! Can’t say enough about Kathy at Surf Divas. Top notch instruction, great at quelling a bad case of nerves, and lots of helpful advice. Want to go again!!!

This is the best surf school ever! Te staff is so helpful and friendly! I had a lot of problems with the cards and changing plans and they were so nice.
The instructors are amazing and they are really passionated about surfing! The store is amazing and have some really cool stuff. La Jolla is a perfect place for learning too! They have good boards for rental and everything it’s just awesome!

Very friendly and helpful staff! Marianne, one of their surf instructors, is an absolute sweetheart!
For ladies looking to learn surfing in a supportive environment, they run a week-​long female-​only surf camp.
Wetsuit and surfboard rentals are fairly inexpensive. A 1.5−2 hour rental is only $ 16. However, you will need a way to transport your surfboard a couple blocks to the beach!

Two of us signed up for a private lesson with Surf Diva. When we walked down to the beach, we were greeted by Marianne. She spent about 5 – 10 min on land walking us through the basics, then it was time to get in the water. I’m very happy to say that within an hour, I was able to actually paddle through and ride some waves on my own without Marianne’s assistance. We had an AMAZING time and would definitely recommend using Surf Diva if you’re looking to learn.

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!! They were a entire crew of fun loving professional folks that you can tell love what they do. I am a disabled veteran here in Coronado for a week of summer sporting activities.
They assisted me and my fellow vets with all types of disabilities with compassion, respect, appreciation and professionalism.
I would definitely recommend them to anyone!!!

I am so happy we found this surf school! Both the kids went to the summer camp and they are now hooked on surfing. The instructors are really awesome. Not only were they good at teaching surfing, but they were so positive and good with the children.
Also the shop is really nice, including everyone working there.
Thank you all for making our stay in La Jolla Shores so great.

My cousins and I bought a Groupon deal for $ 19 Half-​day SUP (standup paddleboard) rental for one. We didn’t have any issues with it, and their customer service went smoothly. .Thanks to their front desk, Kayla. She’s awesome and very friendly!
They have lockers available for $ 3. There’s also carts available for paddleboards if they’re too heavy for you to carry.
