Ocean Experience Surf School

In 1990, we became San Diego's first and most qualified surf school. Ocean Experience is one of San Diego’s longest standing surf school.

Since then, we have been sharing our love for the ocean and knowledge for surfing to students of all ages and skill levels. Ocean Beach Surf & Skate and Ocean Experience Surf School promotes the Southern California lifestyle while supplying core needs to surfers and skateboarders. From building custom decks to shaping custom boards and teaching countless people to surf, we are San Diego's lifestyl

e shop. Established in 1990, our team of water sport professionals offer practical and personal approach to teaching surf lessons. We teach skills of water sport while exploring local natural wonders. We know San Diego’s coastline, finding the right conditions for water activities including surfing, kayaking, SUP, snorkeling, and more. We maintain secure locations year-round throughout Southern California, Baja, and South America, ready to welcome worldwide travelers on a whim. Ocean Beach Surf and Skate Shop opened its doors in 1999 to provide Ocean Experience with a retail store and home base. With San Diego and the Pacific Ocean as your classroom, you need the most advanced technology in surfing equipment and Ocean Beach Surf & Skate Shop provides just that.
