Safe Surfing Lessons in California, Los Angeles & Southern California

SAFE SURFING LESSONS IN CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES & SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

A six-foot set approaches, by far the biggest of the day. The third wave looks the most promising, so you paddle hard into perfect positioning. Popping to your feet you ride the drop expertly. But then the lip of the wave throws out forming a round, open barrel. Sounds of the outside world become muted as you enter the heart of the wave. As the blue-green water surrounds you, the crystalline walls of the wave glow from the sun’s radiance. You crouch low letting your fingertips graze the water and guide you through the watery cave. However, the sense of harmony and oneness you feel at this moment is fleeting. The world comes crashing back as you blast out of the barrel, providing onlookers with an impressive action pose that could grace the cover Surfer Magazine as you ride the tide all the way back to the beach, feeling stoked!

What is the agenda for the activity? What can participants expect?
Your instruction starts on the beach with a five minute introduction to board types, surfing lingo/etiquette, and surfboard maintenance. Before hitting the water, you’ll spend 5 to 10 minutes learning the best board positioning for you and proper stance, how to paddle, and how to safely fall. The real training begins in the shallow waters of the beach where you’ll learn how duckdive through oncoming waves, and how to stand up and stay upright on your board. Then when you’re ready, your instructor will lead you into deeper waters where you’ll practice executing turns and maneuvers and begin to develop those performance surfing techniques you’ve seen in the movies! Types of waves and how the tide affects waves will also be covered in the course. Expect to spend the vast majority of each lesson in the water.

Our Surfing Lessons have a low student to instructor ratio, generally 4-to-1, to ensure proper supervision and personalized training. Each student receives individual attention in a safe and fun environment. Our instructors, whose work you’ve seen in Blue Crush, Baywatch The Movie, and Extreme Blue, will make sure that you have a great time learning to surf!

Note: All of our Surfing Lesson instructors are trained lifeguards, certified in CPR and first aid ,and are highly familiar with the coastal beaches of southern California.
