Granted, we were lucky with the weather. But also with our choice in surf school. Newbees at surfing we were very well instructed. Also, as a family of 5 I was happy that he (sorry, forgot your name) focused on our children. And...that he checked this with me in doing so (was not necessary but goes to show the level... More

We got a great group rate, which included 3 hour lesson, head to toe gear and board. Our instructors, TROY & ALLAN were FANTASTIC!! They were sooooo supportive and coached so... More

For my 50th birthday we went to Tofino to learn to surf. We signed up with pacific surf school as they had a great family package and we got our own personal instructor, Allan. I was worried about how they would manage our group as we ranged from age 10 to 50...but Allan was great. He managed to provide everyone... More

I had never surfed before and the instructor explained everything very well and helped me get up on the board multiple times. The lesson was a very reasonable price, which included the use of a surf board, wetsuit, hat, gloves and boots for the 3 hour lesson. These kept me nice and warm in the freezing cold ocean! Overall an... More

A very responsive outfit that was very efficient and well organised. Brought the gear to the beach for us. A bit too long spent on the beach going over safety but there were some first timers in the group. Good in surf instruction and tips - instructors had good attitudes and personalities. We would surf with them again but not... More

Recently went for a February surf, with the Pacific Surf School gang, and it was amazing! The teachers (HANNAH and JAKE) made learning to surf fun, and surprisingly easy! I would recommend this surf school and ONLY this school, to anyone traveling to Tofino! Keep up the good works guys, and hope to see again this summer!

I had always wanted to go surfing, and visit Tofino - so I thought what the heck - even if it is November, let's do it. In the freezing November air, we were given our gear- seemed to be good quality and kept us relatively warm, if looking rather foolish, in head to toe black body suits (like some sort... More
