Pismo Beach Surf Shop

"Had an amazing time! Pismo Beach Surf Shop has it all. The shop is eclectic, the owner is extremely knowledgeable. We felt safe under his watch and was led on a beautiful adventure. Caves, whales, sea otters, couldn’t have asked for a better experience."

"I don’t know if we could have had a better experience. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly, took us out at the perfect time of day, and knew the waters like the back of his hand. We felt safe and comfortable as newbies to kayaking. We had a great mix of adventure, learning interesting facts about the area and sea life, and being able to peacefully enjoy our time on the water. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!"

"Absolutely amazing guided tours on kayak with a very knowledgeable and personable guide named Bill. We were all first timers. Younger guys but with our mother who is terrified of the Ocean. I'm not too keen either, but when I tell you that Bill made every single step as beginner friendly and easy to manage as possible. Yes, there are times when things can feel a little scary (no one wants to capsize.) But it's a very real chance. What no one expects is that there is an awesome professional right at your side giving you clear, detailed, and calm instructions on getting back on the kayak. Bill could put the most traumatized thalassiophobe at ease. I say that from first hand experience because I was never planning to go kayaking and now I want a kayak. Stunning sights and beautiful caves, you'll also see seals lounging about and kelp forests that are truly mystical to paddle through. Whether you're an avid ocean enjoyer or someone completely terrified like me, you will absolutely have an extremely memorable experience. You may even get some exposure therapy to help with fear of water like me, I can't wait to get back in the water! Truly a must do experience, and I have nothing but the utmost praise for Bill and anyone within the Pismo beach surf shop. Thank you for an amazing day! Can't wait to return."

"What an awesome experience we had sea kayaking with Bill! We saw seals and otters and got to kayak through the caves. My husband even got to “swim”!"
