Choosing a surf lesson in Malibu can feel confusing—there are great options and each has a different vibe. Always Summer Surf School focuses on small groups and private coaching at Broad Beach, Zuma and Point Dume—spots we love for crystal-clear water and beginner-friendly waves. You’ll get CPR-certified local instructors, premium gear, and a mellow, confidence-first approach.
Other operators you’ll see around town include Malibu Surfing School (private + group lessons around Malibu), Malibu Makos (long-running program with camps and lessons), Malibu Surf Coach (personalized coaching), and Malibu Surf Shack by the Pier. All can be good choices depending on schedule, location, and group size.
How to choose: pick the beach that fits your level (Broad Beach/Zuma for first-timers), confirm gear is included, ask about student-to-coach ratio, and read recent reviews. If you want an uncrowded feel and a step-by-step first session, book Always Summer. Ready to start? → Book your Malibu surf lesson
