Great experience with this surf lesson program. Booked online, super simple. Eric and Nick were our instructors...they were fantastic. My twins who have NEVER surfed before were up and surfing the waves within five minutes of hitting the water. Great coaching and encouragement. Thanks for a fantastic morning!

FAQ

Pacific Surf is one of the leading surf schools around the world with our headquarters based in San Diego, California. We teach surfing lessons in many different surf locations and our top priority is providing the best surfing experience.

We have instructors from all over the world that are surf experts. They are all trained with Water Safety Courses, with over a thousand 5 stars reviews and coached to teach to all ages. We specialize in beginners and intermediate surf lessons.

In some of our locations we have partnerships with local surf schools. All surf schools that we partner with are registered and licensed surf schools that provide the same quality service as we do. They follow all the guidelines to properly perform surf lessons.

The easiest way is booking lessons online through our website, here you will be able to choose the date, time and location that works best for you. You can also call us at +1 (858) 488-2685 and we will be able to book your lesson over the phone.

This beach is famous for having great waves for beginner surfers throughout the year. Santa Monica Beach is a “must visit” when going to Los Angeles.

All of our surf lessons are one and a half hours. All the equipment is included: surfboard, wetsuit, leash and rash guard.

The lesson starts with a land lesson, you will learn about safety, board information like dynamics and dimensions, what to do and not to do, and pop up technique to stand on the board. 

Right after you will enter the water with your surfing instructor to try the real thing, he/she will help place the board in the correct position and give you pointers so you can catch your first waves!

Private Surf Lessons, Semi-private Surf Lessons and Group Surf Lessons.

A private surf lesson is a one-on-one lesson, which means an instructor just for you and more wave time. If your goal is to really learn surfing and make it a habit, this is the best option.

A semi-private surf lesson means an instructor for a small group of two to three people. This is a great option if you want to learn how to stand up and have some fun with peers!

A group surf lesson is an instructor for four to five people. You will have less wave time, although, having lessons with more people can make the experience more fun!

Some of our partners might not have the semi-private options in their locations.

When you arrive for your surf lesson we will provide you with a wetsuit, so we recommend wearing a swimsuit or board shorts to wear the wetsuit over it. 

You should bring a towel and sunscreen to the lesson. Also, we recommend tipping your instructor after the lesson if you had a good time, therefore, make sure you bring some cash for it. 

Pacific Surf School Inc facilitates the booking of your surf lessons and camp in this location, but a partner surf school might be teaching the lesson. Read the full disclaimer here.
