Kapowui, was awarded best surf school in Venice beach for the last 5 years in a row. Kapowui is a family run business and and an icon of southern California. We live, eat, and dream surfing and teach surfing because we want to share our love and stoke for the sport. This is a life choice for us and what gives our lives meaning. All of Kapowui's instructors are imbued with the Aloha spirit, live within blocks of the beach (4 of them live in surf vans), surf every day and have many years teaching experience. When we are doing a lesson with you, we are 100% focused and in the moment with you. At Kapowui we truly care about your experience. Whether surfing is a one time bucket list item or a new sport you want to pick up, we will have you up riding waves, 100% guaranteed! Additionally you will be immersed in the surf culture, giving you the opportunity to feel the true surfer vibe, while learning a skill you can use forever. ​

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the surf lesson?

A: Great question! Kapowui typically teaches anyone from ages 6 and up. They’re really good at adapting lessons based on skill level, so it’s perfect for families looking to do something fun together. Just check in with them beforehand to confirm any specific concerns.

Q: What happens if the weather is bad on the lesson day?

A: If the weather isn’t safe for surfing, Kapowui will reschedule your lesson for another day. They’re really flexible about it since safety is a top priority. Make sure to check their cancellation policy when you book!

Q: What should I wear to the surf lesson? Do they provide wetsuits?

A: You’ll want to bring a swimsuit! Kapowui provides the wetsuit, surfboard, and even sunscreen. Just wear something comfy underneath and you’ll be set. Flip-flops are fine for the beach, but you’ll need to take them off to surf.

Thinking of gifting a surf lesson to my boyfriend in Santa Monica!

Hey folks! I’m considering getting a 1.5-hour surf lesson with Kapowui in Santa Monica for my boyfriend. He loves the ocean but hasn’t surfed before. Has anyone tried this? How friendly are the instructors? What’s the vibe like? Worth the splurge?

Just had my surf lesson at Kapowui - here’s my experience!

Wow, I just finished a surf lesson at Kapowui in Santa Monica and it was AMAZING! The instructors were super laid-back but also really focused on helping us catch waves. I was up on my first attempt! I totally recommend it to anyone looking to try surfing. Plus, the vibe is so chill, you’ll feel like a part of the surf culture right away.
