Highlights
  • 23000 Pacific Coast Hwy - We will be meeting at Surfrider Beach, considered one of the most famous surfing beaches in the world. This is the perfect beach for first time surfers all the way up to experienced surfers. Surfrider beach is known for its gentle and long waves as well as its scenic beauty.
    Our fist 15-20 minutes will be a beach lesson on the sand where we will practice paddling, standing and surfing etiquette.
    Then out in the water to catch some waves.
    My goal is to have you catch and stand on as many waves as possible.
    You will have a blast!
What's Included

Additional Information

Every person intrigued by California imagines riding its waves. Surfing represents the essence of the Golden State. While there are numerous surfing spots in California, Malibu leads them all. Considered as the prime surfing experience, Surfrider Beach is the go-to spot. As a lifelong resident of Malibu, I provide not only an exhilarating surfing journey but also a local’s insight about the vicinity.

Do it! - Ric was patient and friendly and never gave up on us. My daughter finally got up on the surfboard. It was amazing and the waves were great. Bucket list item- check!! Totally worth it! Ric made it so easy and no pressure, but fair warning surfing is a workout!

Amazing experience with Rick - I had an amazing time with Rick. He's such a kind, nice and helpful instructor. I couldn't dream of a better instructor to teach me surf in Malibu. He shows that he really cares about you having a great time, be comfortable and learn the proper ways of surfing. I highly recommend booking a session with Rick ! Thank you again that was perfect.

One of the Highlights of Our Trip - Ric was great! We treated our two young adult kids to a lesson while we were on vacation and they both had a fantastic time. He provided the wetsuits and boards and started on the beach by teaching the basics before heading into the water. By the time I came back from changing into my swimsuit, both were in the water and up on their boards! He was a super nice guy, seemed to be a great teacher, and even gave us some tips for local restaurants. Both kids gave the experience rave reviews as a highlight of our trip! Thanks, Ric!

I recommend 200% - One of our fondest memories during this trip to California, there were 2 of us, my husband and I, Ric was very patient and explained things to us very well, which allowed us to have fun like children , we managed to ride the waves and there is nothing more satisfying. He helped me enormously. This man deserves so much more. He also recommended a beautiful place for dinner where I had a great time. Provided us with outfits as well as towels at the end to dry us off, we were able to take photos to remember this memory. So just a big thank you, and if one day I'm passing through again, I'll know who to call. Don't hesitate, we're delighted.
