Los Angeles: Group Surf Lesson with Instructor｜United States

If you’ve never tried surfing before or have tried a few times, we will teach you everything you need know to go from catching white wash waves assisted by an instructor to consistently catching open-face waves on your own!

Your first class covers popping up, surfing etiquette and ocean safety.

There are a variety of pop-up techniques for beginners. We typically start off with the “Set and Step” technique and later move to the traditional pop-up. “Set and Step” helps you to master good foot positioning so you are steady on every wave. Additionally, you learn paddling technique and how to effectively position yourself on the board.

Surf Etiquette and Ocean Safety are really important parts of surfing. We use a simple sand demonstration to clearly explain the essentials of etiquette and safety so you are aware of what’s happening in the ocean and with other surfers. You will also learn different techniques to get your board into the lineup (including turtling).

As beginners progress you will begin catching waves unassisted, taking off on the peak, riding in the curl, and fading (to maintain speed and to experiment with one dynamic of more advanced turns).
