Safe, Fun and Exciting Surf Adventure!
Have you ever wanted to rip up the surf, catch a wave like the best, experience the unique world inside the famed pipeline, and of course, impress the masses on the beach? This surf camp in beautiful Santa Monica will teach you the skills required for a lifetime of surfing.
Enjoy this 5 day surf camp learning to surf in a group setting. Pick your wave; timing just takes time. Like a batter waiting for a pitch, the surfer waits for the perfect wave and the timing required comes from experience. Our goal is to get each student to reach a safe surfing level whereby each student has an understanding of basic surfing techniques. We will adjust the teaching methods accordingly, but the end goal is the same - To get you surfing at a level where it is safe for you to practice on your own. Your safety is our concern and having fun is our mission!
Our Santa Monica surf camps for beginners start in the sand with instruction on paddling, how to 'pop-up' on your board, stance and balance. Your instructor will cover ocean safety, picking waves, and of course, surfing etiquette. Then it's into the surf! With your instructor's hands-on help, you'll practice catching waves and standing up on your board. Typically after one lesson, you'll be good enough to practice on your own. You'll be shredding in no time!
All Levels & Ages
Whether a novice or experienced surfer, all camp participants are welcome to come and perfect their skills with as much or as little help as they want from camp staff. Adults are welcome and we do offer adult only sessions. An experience at our surf camp can be the start of a lifetime of surfing, or a chance to improve under the guidance of experienced surfers in a fun, pressure-free environment.
What to Expect
- Explain how tides impact waves
- Demonstrate surfing skills, proper paddling methods, floating, escaping a rip tide, how to duck dive, how to turtle, how to pop up and more!
