Private Surf Lesson

About this class

This 120-minute private surf lesson at Calibunga Surf School puts you one-on-one with an instructor directly below the Santa Monica Pier, with all equipment and wetsuits included so there is nothing to bring but swimwear. The session covers ocean safety, paddling technique, reading waves, and the pop-up, with the instructor focused entirely on your progression throughout the two hours rather than dividing attention across a group. Calibunga is a city-permitted school with a 5.0 rating on SurfSpotGuide, and private lessons are the best option for anyone who wants to move at their own pace.
