Los Angeles Surf Lessons
If you want to learn to surf in the Los Angeles area, then Campsurf is your best option. We conduct private and semi-private surf lessons in El Porto which is the northern most section of shoreline in Manhattan Beach, Los Angeles County, CA. El Porto consistently has at minimum surfable sized waves. During the summer months the surf size is smaller than in the winter season. This smaller wave size is more suitable for beginner surfers.

What can I expect from my Private Surf Lesson package?
Below is a sample breakdown of what you can expect with your package. Keep in mind that surfing is a very difficult sport and people advance at different speeds. The information in the lesson plans above will vary from person to person and may need to be covered in more than five lessons.
Lesson 1: Topics covered include wave formation, checking the surf, water safety, surfing etiquette, and surfing equipment. We will focus on the techniques of paddling through the surf, catching waves, and how to properly stand-up on the board. Approximately 30-minutes of on-land instruction and 1-hour of surfing in the water.
Lesson 2: A more detailed look into wave formation and elements affecting waves and the surfing conditions. Review of surfing etiquette and instruction on how to surf on your own. Approximately 15-minutes of on-land instruction and the remaining time in the water.
Lessons 3 and 4: Depending on your ability you may take some time between your second and third lesson to try to surf on your own. Return for your third and fourth lesson with questions from your solo surfing experience and we will focus on where you were having trouble. If you’re ready, we will touch on turning and riding unbroken waves and will provide information on purchasing your own equipment.
Lesson 5: Take more time between your fourth and fifth lesson to see where you’re at with your surfing. The goal in this lesson is to paddle out past the surf line and catch the unbroken waves with the other surfers. Put all the knowledge you’ve picked up from the first 4 lessons and your solo experience and take it to the real waves. A major focus will be etiquette and how to safely and confidently surf with a crowd.
Our Advanced Surf Lessons are available year round to all ages. Our instructors will assess your ability and goals and create a lesson plan to get you where you want to be. Surfers must have their own equipment for Advanced Lessons. For more information Click Here.
