You step onto the wide sand at Redondo Beach and the ocean is already speaking—small walls of green pushing toward shore, inviting practice and patience. The pier stands to your left, gulls arguing overhead, while an instructor rigs a soft-top board and checks your leash. The lesson begins on the beach with stance and pop-up drills, then moves into the breakers where the swell and current will test your timing and determination.

Check tide and wind windows
Morning low-to-mid tides with light offshore wind are the calmest times for learning—ask your instructor for the local best times.
Wear reef‑safe sunscreen
Water-reflective sun is strong even on cool days; use reef-safe SPF and reapply after sessions.
Hydrate and fuel up
Bring water and a light snack—surfing is deceptively aerobic and you’ll want steady energy for technique drills.
Disclose medical or mobility limits
Instructors adapt drills but need weight, injury, or pregnancy info ahead of time for safety and insurance.
Wetsuit (provided)
Helps you stay warm and buoyant in Pacific waters outside peak summer months.
Surfboard (provided)
Soft-top instructor boards give stability and safer learning when catching whitewater and small waves.
