Why Surf Lessons Ventura is the place to learn
Our method for teaching surf lessons in Ventura has been proven to guarantee you stand up on your first lesson! With the combined knowledge of our veteran surfers and feedback from our students, we have mastered the best techniques for beginners to have the best first-time surf experience!
Most of our surf lessons are with beginners who have never been on a surfboard. Helping out first-timers is our bread and butter but that doesn’t mean our team is without life long experts rich in knowledge. Our staff can cater any lesson to be beginner, intermediate, or advanced.
All of our lessons are private because we want the experience to be personable and tailored to you.

Our private one on one surf lesson in Ventura is our most popular lesson. This is the perfect introduction to surfing for beginners. Your instructor will teach you the techniques of paddling, standing up, positioning on board, and water safety. For those who are more experienced your instructor will jump right into more intermediate techniques to help you carve on the waves! While our instructors will provide ample attention during all of our lessons, booking a 1 on 1 lesson will maximize time with your instructor.
Our semi-private surf lesson in Ventura is a great way to experience surfing with friends, partner, or family members. Your instructor will be able to provide all of you with hands on attention as you each catch waves and paddle back out. These surf lessons are especially rewarding as friends and partners get to witness each other succeed and cheer one another on. Having a companion in the water during your surf lesson is a great way to share some waves and create long lasting memories!
Our 4+ person surf lesson in Ventura is a fun option for those who are traveling with a group of friends or family! After going over the techniques on the sand, our instructors will take turns with each participant individually in the water ensuring everyone receives proper attention while developing their techniques. Laughing and cheering our loved ones on is highly encouraged here at Surf Lessons Ventura. Having the support of friends and family while trying out a new sport is crucial.

” We had a great time. The scene was fantastic, and it felt like a genuine experience. I felt bad for my instructor having to teach a few fresh on the board individuals like ourselves, but he was super patient with us and super helpful in directing what to work on. I will definitely be picking up this sport back in SF “
Where do I meet for my Ventura surfing lesson?
Once your surf lesson is booked we will email all of the details for your lesson location. The information we send will include directions to the surf spot, a picture of our surf van, and a reminder of what to bring with you. We often teach surf lessons at the far north corner of Ventura because of the variety of waves offered there.
The most popular beach we teach at is Mondos Beach. At Mondos beach the waves break nice and easy making it perfect for beginners. If you already have some experience, your instructor will take you further out to waves that break quicker and stronger. Mondos beach is known by Ventura locals as a friendly and beginner surf break so you’ll be in a supportive atmosphere.
Surf conditions are changing on a daily basis so there is always a chance we’ll be teaching lessons at a different beach. Your surf location can range from other Ventura spots to nearby cities such as Carpinteria and Santa Barbara. We are devoted to giving you the best surf experience possible by reading the surf report daily in order to find the best location for your surf lesson.
We will be in contact via phone call and email if we need to change the location of your lesson. Please make sure that we can reach you by phone the day before and the day of your lesson.
