Adventure Tips
Check the tide and swell before heading out
Malibu’s waves vary drastically with tide and swell size; morning sessions often offer gentler surf ideal for beginners.
Use reef booties if paddling near rocky points
Some areas near Malibu have rocky ocean floors—protect your feet and stay safe with booties when venturing beyond sandy beaches.
Wear sunscreen and stay hydrated
Even quick 2-hour sessions expose you to sun and salt; waterproof sunscreen and water bottles keep you comfortable and protected.
Secure your board when not using it
Always leash your board and keep an eye on your gear to prevent damage or loss on busy beaches.
