Why Choose Us for Malibu Surf Lessons?

  • Experience for Everyone: Our surf lessons cater to family and friends, making it a perfect activity for everyone. Enjoy the excitement of surfing together at Malibu's stunning beaches.

  • All Equipment Provided: We provide top-quality wetsuits and surfboards to ensure you're ready to ride the waves during your first surf lesson.

  • Flexible Scheduling: Our surf lesson times are tailored to the local tide and swell conditions, allowing for a personalized experience.

  • Best Conditions & Surf Breaks: Malibu isn’t beginner-easy everywhere. Living in Malibu, we know every surf break, and we keep students safe and progressing by checking surf conditions and crowds and determining the best spot to surf accordingly.

  • 1:1 Instruction: For first-time surfers, we provide 1:1 instruction so that each surfer has an instructor focused on their skill development and saftey.

  • At this level, you will never be in water deeper than you can stand up, so there’s no chance of getting held underwater or sucked out to sea during your first surf lesson. During your Malibu surf lessons, after 5-10 minutes of instruction on the beach, you will learn to walk out through the gentle rolling waves, catch the white water, and ride back into the beach. You will learn how and when to catch the waves, balancing, turning, and how to fall safely during your Malibu surfing lessons offered at Malibu beach. After an hour or so, most people will be able to catch and ride waves on their own.

  • You will be paddling and catching waves under your own power with an emphasis on efficiently paddling, wave selection, safety, and the social rules that govern surfing in these local waters during our Malibu Surf Lessons. We can also introduce you to other surf breaks in the surrounding areas of Malibu through our Malibu surfing lessons.

  • Professional coaching at the surf break of your choice with our Malibu surf lessons. We also offer destination surf tours and surfing lessons throughout Malibu for an enhanced experience in the waves.
