VB Surf Sessions

My wife surprised me for Fathers Day with a beginners standup paddle lesson for our family of six. (4 teens)
Chris was our guide and he was excellent in taking the time to explain every step and was very personable. We could tell he enjoys his job very much which made our day that much more enjoyable. Our two hours was lots of fun and made for a great Fathers Day. On a side note — Chris had lots of great tips to include where we found some amazing fish tacos ! My wife says MAHALO. Also she would like to note that the booking process was very easy, they were super friendly and worked with our schedule for a last minute Father’s Day trip. Also, if you book once you get great savings on your next time around along with some other cool perks! Also, they are military friendly!
All in all, great company great people. You can trust your family in their hands for safe and fun activity.

Yesterday me and my husband went on a paddle board lesson w Chris as the instructor for the first time. He was a phenomenal guide. His instructions were clear and concise. I felt very safe and excited about the adventure. Once we went into the water he was very knowledgeable and patient with us. Discussing the different natural habitat of the area along w other adventures that me and my husband can be apart of in the future. We had a wonderful time. I would recommend this experience to everyone specially with Chris as your guide.

I took surfing lessons for first time ever. I’m from New Orleans, vacationing at Virginia Beach. I went with my best friend, we are both 47 and our four kids, ages 12, 10, 9 and 7. The instructors were phenomenal. They both were awesome in every way. Top notch. Extremely experienced and knowledgeable, enthusiastic, great teachers, great with kids, fun, personable. I could go on. We also alllllll were hanging 10 by the middle of the lessons!!! Highly recommend.

My 9 year old son and I went VB Surf Session’s 3 day surf camp last summer. We both had so much fun! Everyone was SO nice and patient, and Tony went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of. Good price, felt safe. I highly recommend them and would sign up again in a heartbeat!

I’m a total beginner to surfing, and while I certainly can’t say my skills are great, my experience with VB Surf Sessions was.
Tony gave a great on-​the-​beach explanation of how the waves work and how to be safe. After practicing popping up on the sand, we headed into the water.
Now, I’m from Chicago, where the lake has practically no waves to speak of. I admit the size of the surf was intimidating to me, though I’m sure people who are used to being in the ocean would consider them tame! The gist of my experience was this: I was a bit of a wuss and got increasingly nervous after getting tumbled a few times. Tony was encouraging but didn’t pressure me at all when I expressed my fears. Instead, he gave me really constructive tips about how to get used to the waves (boogie boarding!) that left me with a clear next step. It’s that understanding and instruction that made my otherwise-​disappointing attempts into something positive. I’m hoping to get more comfortable in the water and give it another try in the future!

Tony and Lorenzo at VB Surf Sessions took 13 of my friends and Me out for a Stand Up Paddleboard tour (SUP). For most of us it was our first time going and they were very patient and helpful. They took the time to teach us a little about the adventure, best practices, and safety tips to ensure our tour would go smoothly. Nervous to go out on the water they made it very easy and fun making the entire experience perfect! The 2 hours flew by and I can say every single one of us can’t wait to get back on a SUP and do it again. I highly recommend you try this activity with Tony and his team! Thank you VB Surf Session, can’t wait to do it again!

I am in the military and just got into VA about 3 days ago from Hawaii (Surfing every single day for the past two years). All my things, including my surfboards, are being shipped out to Alaska for my next job. After three long days of being sober from the salt water, I had enough and drove down to VA beach. Not knowing any surf shops, i walked into a shop and this surf shop recommended VB Surf Sessions. I went with the recommendation and couldn’t be more satisfied. Great Service!!! I mean they drive to where you are and drop off a surfboard with a leash. This is an amazing concept! I can go to the beach, scope out the surf, and if it is decent, call these guys up. I highly recommend this company to anybody who is visiting and needs a surfboard and I am sure they are great with lessons too

I’ve been flirting with the idea of trying out surfing for a while but have been very hesitant out of fear. I finally decided to do it and after asking around town, I ended up with VA Beach Surf Sessions. The instructor and his methods were incredibly nonintimidating and a ton of fun! He REALLY knew his stuff and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Will recommend VA Beach Surf Sessions to anyone looking for some solid surf/​SUP instruction!

This place was great! The instructor who started our lesson was very educated and professional yet also entertaining!
Then we had a second instructor in the water who was also awesome! I felt very comfortable knowing my son was being watched over and helped out by Nick.
Thanks guys! We will definitely be back!

Not bad at all. This was cheaper than the other competitors. The surfer to student ratio was about 4: 1 and that was not bad. My kids learned to ride the waves and have fun. We will be back next year.

I took a lesson along with my daughter — 15, and her friend, 17 and son, 18. Wide range of ages and no one felt out of place as far as I can tell. Classes were not as large and unwieldy as I have seen some of the low cost surf schools put up on the beach, which meant a lot of one-​on-​one time if you want it… Great team of instructors, led by Seth Brody, a former pro surfer who is down to earth and an encouraging instructor. Bonus points if you get to work with Christian or his wife Sonya — VAbeach natives and long time surfers as well. In all a great vibe and time well spent with a great group of folks.

I took my first stand up paddling lesson (⁸⁄₁₇) with Tony and it was awesome. I was nervous about falling in but he showed us the proper form, either as a fun workout or a leisure activity. I enjoyed myself and will be back again. EDIT: I did go back, the very next day (⁸⁄₁₈) for a surf lesson! I felt like a pro afterwards. I don’t care if I looked as good. I have paddled out on a board many times, living in Hawaii, but usually too chicken to do more than thrash about eating sand and swallowing the ocean. My instructor was encouraging and professional to every member of our group, a 10 year old girl, two 35 – 40 year old women, and myself. By the end we were catching waves, popping up and laughing a lot. Thanks!
