Fulcrum Surf School

"Fulcrum Surf School is amazing. I’m a beginner and Ari was such a great instructor. He was friendly, enthusiastic, and patient. He pushed me just enough that I really learned a lot and feel empowered to continue learning. Next time I’m in the area I will 100% book another lesson. Highly recommend!"

"My kids have taken lessons with Ari. They had fun and got comfortable catching waves and now love surfing! Lessons were easy to set up and great communication with pins for where to meet up. Zero complains, terrific instruction, thank you!!"

"My colleagues and I were fortunate enough to have a lesson with Dan Mori - what an amazing experience! We have 20 years and varying abilities between us and we all had an awesome time! Dan took his time with each and every one of us ensuring that we were extremely well taken care of! I highly recommend Fulcrum Surf and know who we'll be calling the next time we are in San Diego! Thanks again Dan - you're the best!"

"Fulcrum is the BEST surf school! Why? They're dynamic, their foundations is solid and they are a fun group! Great for the whole family and all ages - kids and adults. I've been going to them for 4 years now and I drive 45 mins to Del Mar just to take lessons from them. I tried several surf schools and they're by far the most effective. I started as a beginner with no experience and now I've made leaps and bounds. Been on Fulcrum surf trips which are epic and they still have new tricks to teach me. If you want to learn to surf the right way, they're your surf coach you want to have!"

"I am a 60 y/o physician with bilateral unrepaired ACL ruptures and meniscal tears. Two years ago my personal trainer urged me to give surfing a try as a physical stretch goal. That is when I called Dan Mori of Fulcrum Surf School. I had so much fun and learned so much in that first hour that I scheduled an hour lesson for Saturday each week. Soon I increased the lessons to two hours a session. Then I added two hours each Sunday with another excellent Fulcrum instructor GianCarlos. As soon as the lessons are over I eagerly await the next weekend sessions! I am currently catching my own waves and learning to pump down the line on a 7 ft board. I have also traveled with Dan and Fulcrum Surf Travel to El Salvador and Tahiti during these two years. Both trips were amazing adventures and helped my surfing tremendously. I am eagerly anticipating a surf trip to Japan Sept 2017 with Fulcrum Surf Travel. Dan Mori and Fulcrum Surf have changed my life! The instructors are extremely professional and highly qualified. The equipment offered for use is excellent. The adventures are priceless. I recommend them with the highest regard! Thank you Dan Mori and Fulcrum Surf School and Travel!!!!!"
