We teach beginning, intermediate and
advanced students
(7-year-old and up).  
Students need to know how to swim and be
comfortable in the ocean and waves (i.e. you
cannot be afraid of putting your head under
water).  Most of our students are beginners
and are able to surf after just a few lessons.

A typical beginner lesson includes about
30 minutes of theory and practice on the beach
(water safety, surf etiquette, pop-up and dive
techniques, etc.) and one full hour in the water.  
We provide a soft board, wetsuit and booties
(if needed).  All you need to bring is sunscreen,
a towel and a bathing suit.
Surf lesson at Venice Beach, Los Angeles, California. Surfing L.A. Surf School, the best way to learn how to surf in the L.A. area.
We teach 7 days a week, 365 days a year.  
Please note that lessons are always
tide-dependent, i.e. the tide has to be right,
so does the wave size. If the waves are too
big or too small, we have to reschedule the
lesson.  Surf is best in the
early morning.  
Later in the day, the wind usually comes up
and kills the surf.  
Let us know what day(s)
you want to take a lesson and we will tell
you what time is best.
Surf lesson at Sunset beach, Pacific Palisades, California. Surfing L.A. Surf School, the best way to learn how to surf in Los Angeles.
We offer group lessons, semi-private and private lessons.

Our
group lessons only include 4 to 6 students maximum. We believe the teacher-student ratio is crucial
to your learning, so we limit the class to a small number of students. Ask your friends to join you and
form your own group class, or just join a class that we are putting together. We usually encourage our
students to sign up for a group lesson whenever possible, as we feel the group interaction is a great
motivator.  Group lessons are our most popular classes. A group lesson is $65 per person (or $75 for
children under 14).

Semi-private lessons consist of 2 or 3 students. We see a lot of couples, mom & daughter, and dad &
son choosing this option. A semi-private lesson is $85 per person.

Private lessons offer one-on-one instruction. It’s just you and the instructor for a full hour in the water.
Your progress is closely monitored.  We provide you with frequent and immediate feedback, after each
wave you ride.  For safety reasons, we ask that all children under 12 enroll in a private lesson as we
strongly feel they need constant supervision while in the water. Private lessons are also best for
intermediate and advanced students. A private lesson is $150.
Surf lesson at Zuma beach, Malibu, California. Surfing L.A. Surf School, the best way to learn how to surf in Los Angeles.
Surfing is an amazing and thrilling sport.  If you have reasonable athletic abilities, we will get you surfing!

And remember that you can
learn in one or two lessons what would take you over 3 months to learn on
your own.  Taking a lesson makes a huge difference. It prevents bad habits from forming. It gives you the
tools to practice by yourself. It makes you a better surfer as you will learn the rules and etiquette of
surfing. Book your lesson today!
