Zuma Beach Surf Lessons: Friendly Waves, Fast Progress

Zuma Beach is a classic for beginner surf lessons in Malibu. Long stretches of sand and shifting sandbars create gentle takeoff zones most days, giving first‑timers a forgiving canvas to stand up and smile.

What your 90‑minute lesson includes

• Safety talk & pop‑up practice on the sand

• All gear included: soft‑top surfboards, wetsuits, leashes

• Water time with step‑by‑step coaching—paddling, timing, and standing

• Tips on etiquette and reading the lineup

Where we meet & park

We text a day‑of pin near Zuma so you can park easily and stroll to the water. Conditions, tide, and wind decide the precise corner—so you always get the friendliest peak.
