Shared 2 Hours Group Surf Lesson at Venice Beach

Overview
We are a FUN SURF LA surf school based on Venice Beach. Our goal is for you to have an excellent experience surfing, whether it's your first time trying surfing or you are trying to advance your skills. For the first 30-40 minutes we will be training on the beach - then it’s one hour with the instructors in the ocean. The remaining time is yours to practice your skills and have fun with the surfboards that we provide you.

We’ll be giving lessons on Venice Beach - one of the most famous beaches in California. You’ll be able to not only enjoy the ocean and get surfing experience, but also explore the unique spirit of the eccentric cultural hub of Venice Beach.

We had a session with Valentin and he was amazing. Valentin was very patient with the 2 teenage boys and did an amazing job of teaching them to be confident and calm on the waves. They both caught several waves and rode them all the way in thanks to his expert training. This was the best part of the entire trip for both boys. They may decide to forego college so they can surf (not Valentin's fault). I would highly recommend this experience to anyone.

I had a really fun time surfing but, having had a few lessons before, I'd say the level of tuition wasn't that great and it wasn't especially safety conscious. Firstly there were nine of us with only one instructor (it seems this is because a second instructor was meant to turn up but didn't - he came an hour late then kept pushing me into waves that weren't really waves...wasn't really adding a lot of value!). There was no explanation of how to catch waves, no warning about rip tides, no warning not to walk behind people (more than once I had to skip catching a wave as someone in the class was walking between me and the shore without looking!) we drifted a long way from our starting point without the instructor noticing... I suppose Fun Surf LA don't need to worry about any of that though as they made us sign an exclusion notice that absolved them for liability for our death or injury, even in the event of their gross negligence (which wouldn't even be close to lawful in the UK). Even the website wasn't that secure as it left my details on there after I'd booked! If you're relatively new and just want to hire equipment and have limited supervision then Fun Surf LA might represent good value for money for you - but I wouldn't recommend it otherwise.
