Q&A

Q: Are there any age limits for the private surf lesson at Venice Beach?

A: Yes, they generally recommend the minimum age to be around 5 years old. The instructors are really good with kids and adjust the lesson to fit their skills and comfort levels. Just check with Sunrise Surf Academy beforehand to make sure they can accommodate your child.

Q: What should you wear for the private surf lesson? Is the wetsuit enough?

A: The wetsuit provided is usually enough for most conditions at Venice Beach, but I recommend wearing a swimsuit underneath for comfort. Also, bring a beach towel and some sunscreen because you'll be out in the sun a lot. Don't forget flip-flops for when you're on land!

Q: What if the weather's bad? Can I reschedule the surf lesson?

A: Yes, they’re pretty flexible with rescheduling due to weather conditions. They’ll keep you updated on the surf and safety conditions leading up to your lesson. Just be sure to contact them early if you think it might be an issue!

Just booked a private surf lesson at Venice Beach! Any tips?

I just bought a private surf lesson for my boyfriend’s birthday at Sunrise Surf Academy in Venice. He’s never surfed before, so I’m a little nervous about how it’ll go. I hope the instructors can really help him catch some waves! Any advice on what to bring or expect?

I tried the private surf lesson at Venice Beach and it was epic!

I did the private surf lesson at Sunrise Surf Academy last month, and it was such a good experience! The instructor was super chill and really focused on helping me find my balance. I caught my first wave, and it felt amazing! The wetsuit was comfy, and they really know the best spots to surf. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to try something new!
