Such a wonderful, laid back atmosphere, great education, and a blast out on the water. Will come back and highly recommend… thank you Joe!! 🤙 Isabella Him2025-09-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joe was awesome! 🌊🤙 We came all the way from Texas, forgot to even schedule our class, and he still made room for us. He hooked us up with wetsuits and boards, and got us in the water in no time. It was my 7 year old’s very first surf lesson and he was riding wave after wave with the biggest smile thanks to Joe’s guidance. Such an unforgettable experience! We’re stoked to come back for more! 🏄♂️ Anthony Shirley2025-09-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best in town!

The rental process is super quick and easy, and having the board for the whole day is a huge plus. Joe is awesome—super chill, friendly, and even shared a few helpful surfing pointers. Definitely coming back next time I’m in town! Robben Suhay2025-09-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nice guy Joe runs the place, easy access to beach.

Super easy rental, lots of boards to choose from and a Great value at $25 for all day. Customer service was the best!! Thank you! We will be back!! mirco leo2025-09-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We discovered Ride Solana which offers for a great price a Surf lesson for two with full equipment rental. After a short video introduction on the basics of Surfing we went to the beach with the Surf Master, one of the best Surfers in the world, he explained us several times with calm and dedication the correct position and every movement useful to surf. It was the best experience of my life, even more thanks to Joe, owner of Ride Solana Beach, he welcomed us as if we were brothers and was available to our every request. Anyone who passes by Solana should definitely stop and rent a bike or a surfboard here and above all we highly recommend the Surf lesson I never expected such a great experience. Ride Solana beach offers unforgettable moments. Michelle Willi2025-09-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Glen Gordon2025-09-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rented a great city bike for the day to go up and down the coast, had a blast. The place is in the perfect location, and the guys make it feel like you’re hanging out with your friends rather than making a purchase. Highly recommended for a SoCal experience :)
