Most surf schools will get you to stand up your first time surfing. They all say so. And for your typical surf instructor, it’s easy to get someone on their feet. Here at our Surf School, we teach you how to actually read & ride a wave, starting from your very first lesson. Reading waves and knowing where to be are the most crucial aspects of surfing. Fostering the knowledge of the ocean is how you truly develop the ability to become a real surfer. That being said, if surfing is something you want to kick off the bucket list or to do on vacation with friends or family, no one on our team has taught this sport for less than 5 years. Our focus is getting you to surf not just anywhere on the wave, but on the best, most fun part of the wave. We are 100% the only surf school that custom-makes their boards (made in California) specifically for optimal learning as a beginner or intermediate. We have the warmest, cared for wetsuits, and we're all American Red Cross certified!

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the surf lessons? Can kids join?

A: Yes, kids as young as 8 can join the lessons! They just need to be comfortable in the water. The instructors are super patient, and they have a lot of experience teaching younger surfers. Just make sure they know how to swim a bit, and they’ll have a blast!

Q: What happens if it rains or the waves are too rough?

A: If the weather looks bad, they usually reach out to reschedule your lesson. Safety first! They’ll work with you to find a new time that works. Just make sure you keep an eye on the weather forecasts before your session.

Q: What should I wear for the surf lesson?

A: You’ll want to wear a swimsuit under the wetsuit they provide. Make sure it’s something you’re comfy moving in! Also, flip-flops for walking to the beach are a good idea. They’ll take care of the wetsuit, which is super snug and warm.

Thinking about gifting a surf lesson in Santa Monica!

Hey everyone! I’m considering getting my partner a private surf lesson at Badass Surf School in Santa Monica for their birthday. I love that they focus on teaching how to read waves, not just standing up. But I'm a bit worried about their comfort in the water. Has anyone done this? What’s it like as a beginner? Any tips?

Just completed the surf lesson and it was epic!

OMG, I just finished my two-hour private lesson at Badass Surf School, and I can’t recommend it enough! The instructors are seriously awesome at breaking down the basics. I actually caught a few small waves! They gave me a custom board that made it way easier. If you're thinking about it, just go for it!
