Looking for a Malibu surf school that prioritizes safety, small ratios, and day-of beach choice? This page lays out exactly how we teach at Zuma and Broad Beach, why those zones are the fastest path to first-day success, and how to pick the right format for your goals (private, two-person, or family).
Why Zuma/Broad beat “famous name” spots for beginners
Reforming inside waves = stand-up success
Space to spread out = calmer learning
Flexible meet points = we chase the best 60–90 minute window
Formats (choose your wave count)
Private (1:1): speed-run your learning with constant feedback
Two-person: nearly private attention with shared stoke
Family/small group: best value per person on mellow bars
What’s included (the difference-makers)
Board & suit sized to you
Beach safety + etiquette brief
On-sand pop-ups (repeatable pattern)
In-water coaching (positioning + short cues)
Day-of beach call for the smoothest water
