Skim the crest of a wave beneath the Californian sun with a surfing lesson for both beginners and intermediate surfers. Benefit from the support and guidance of your instructors as you take on the waters of Venice Beach.

Meet your instructor and suit up in your wetsuit. Feel free to store your belongings in the equipment van during the activity. When you're ready, pick up a surfboard and head down to the sand with your fellow students.

Spend the first 30-40 minutes training on the beach and get familiar with the fundamentals of surfing. Practice how to pop up on the board, learn more about the ocean, and end the land lesson with the most important part: safety.

Next, enjoy 40 minutes of hands-on training with your instructor in the ocean. The remaining time will be yours to perfect your skills and have fun on the board. After the class, your instructor will lead you to an outdoor public shower where you can rinse off.
