Most surf schools will get you to stand up your first time surfing. They all say so. And for your typical surf instructor, it’s easy to get someone on their feet. Here at our Surf School, we teach you how to actually read & ride a wave, starting from your very first lesson. Reading waves and knowing where to be are the most crucial aspects of surfing. Fostering the knowledge of the ocean is how you truly develop the ability to become a real surfer.

That being said, if surfing is something you want to kick off the bucket list or to do on vacation with friends or family, no one on our team has taught this sport for less than 5 years. Our focus is getting you to surf not just anywhere on the wave, but on the best, most fun part of the wave.

We are 100% the only surf school that custom-makes their boards (made in California) specifically for optimal learning as a beginner or intermediate. We have the warmest, cared for wetsuits, and we're all American Red Cross certified!

What to expect

In a total of two hours, you'll learn how to catch waves and ride them all the way to shore! About 30 minutes of this two hours is spent on the beach working on great surf habits, safety, and development to be able to paddle past the break and surf to shore. The rest of the time is yours to shred.

Singlehandedly the most fun thing you'll do while you're in Southern California. Surfing is our state sport for a reason!
