Both my son and I did a lesson with Stu and Brice over the Thanksgiving Holiday. It was truly awesome! They are extremely good at understanding your level and your physical ability and applying the proper training. They both have great positive attitudes and really make it a lot of fun. Both are very patient and encouraging and really make you want to come back for more. We will definitely be back to surf with them.

Stu made things so easy at the shop getting wet suits for my beginner 9 and 12 year old grandsons and a board for my more experienced 15 year old. Brice was instructor for the younger ones and they both stood up and rode the waves their very first lesson. He was upbeat and supportive. Use this shop. Clean wet suits. Caring people.

Today my daughter took her first surf lessons with Stu. What a beautiful day and awesome experience! He is great at explaining the basics and gets you right in the water to practice. Very encouraging and gives lots of positive feedback for improvement after each wave. We signed up for more lessons. I highly recommend Stu and his team. Great job!

Our 13 year old wanted to surf and Shell Beach Surf Shop delivered. Our son loved it and the instructor, Bryce, was awesome. He was very knowledgeable , took his time and had a great vibe. If we're in California again, we will use them again. Thanks again from us Canadians.

I took my 8 yr, grandson and two 11 year old grand daughters to their first surfing lesson today. We met up with Stu and Daniel they worked closely with the kids. The lesson was 1 1/2 hours Michael and Daniela were able to ride a few waves standing up. Savannah rode on her knees. They made the lesson so fun for the kids , great memories and pictures were made at Pismo beach today. New adventure for my kids. Awesome experience and awesome instructors.

People were very friendly, prices are really reasonable and the surf lessons were extremely helpful. I definitely recommend this small and personal surf shop for all your surfing needs!

Best place on the west coast! A group of friends and I took a trip across country from Connecticut and wanted to surf. We came in looking for some rental boards and suits. Stu couldn’t have been more helpful, he picked out all the boards and suits for us, and then helped us load everything onto the van. We didn’t have any straps to hold the boards down so he got in his car and drove home to let us borrow his personal board straps. Not knowing anything about the west coast, Stu directed us to some of the best surf spots around. He also told us about an awesome burrito place that rolled up the trip nicely. We took a road trip from Denver to Los Angeles, then up the west coast to San Francisco and this was the highlight of the trip. Thanks for the memories Stu!

My eight-year-old daughter, eleven-year-old niece, and fourteen-year-old nephew, and I signed up for a beginning surf lesson. Bryce and Daniel were awesome instructors. Everyone learned to surf and rode a wave standing before the lesson was over. We will definitely come back again

The surf lessons were very very enjoyable because of how great and simply they were taught. Not only did they give us plenty of time, but just made it incredibly clear on how to surf. They also have a really nice stock of clothes and other things all for great prices!

Best surf shop on the Central Coast. Stocked with quality surf gear and unique clothing. If you are looking for a surf camp or private lessons Stu has you covered. Fun community events plus surf/yoga retreats to Nicaragua. Easy parking.

What a great surf shop for the casual to serious surfer! Stu runs the place with an eye for authenticity and a genuine love for the waves. Ask for his lessons and you'll get to hang out with him and some of his crew as they take you to the best places in the area to surf...and they will be very attentive to your comfort and expectations for the day. All around great - don't leave Pismo Beach without stopping into Shell Beach Surf Shop!

This place is great for locals and travelers alike. The owner Stu and the staff are very knowledgeable and will set you up to catch some great waves. I will rent a board and wetsuit here exclusively from now on. The shop also has a great selection of cool clothes, gear and accessories.

This is not your typical surf shop! To often surf culture and surf shops are overrun by egos, this is not the case for Shell Beach Surf Shop. Regardless of if you’re just learning or if you’ve been shredding for decades everyone that I met through this shop is stoked on surfing and happy to be helpful with anything you may need. All are welcome! All hail Shell Beach Surf Shop!!!
