Overview

At Sunrise Surf Academy, every lesson is built around you. The personalized, flexible approach ensures surfers of all ages and skill levels get the experience they’re looking for—whether it's your first wave or fine-tuning technique.

Instructors bring elite surf experience and a genuine passion for teaching. They’re more than great surfers—they’re encouraging mentors committed to helping you grow in a supportive, fun environment.

Safety is central to the mission. All instructors are trained in ocean safety, CPR, and first aid, and are experts at reading conditions and creating a secure learning space. From the beach briefing to in-water coaching, the focus is on making you feel confident and prepared.

Whether you're a first-timer or chasing clean lines, the team is here to make your session unforgettable. With top-tier instruction, local knowledge, and a deep respect for the ocean, Sunrise Surf Academy offers more than a lesson—we offer the stoke of surfing in its purest form.

    What To Expect

    Join Sunrise Surf Academy for an unforgettable private surf lesson that goes far beyond just learning to surf. Whether it's your first time or you're looking to level up your surf skills, our personalized surf sessions are tailored to your experience, ability, and vibe.

    When you arrive, you’ll be welcomed by your stoked instructor(s), ready to get you dialed in for an epic session. We’ll fit you with the right wetsuit and board, then head to the sand for a dynamic land lesson to fit your needs.

    Then it’s go time—let the shredding commence! You’ll spend the majority of your lesson catching waves with direct in-water coaching. Our focus is always on creating a safe, fun, and empowering environment to help you connect with the ocean.

    Back on land, you’ll discover the hardest part of surfing is taking off the wetsuit. You’re welcome to rinse off, but don’t be surprised if the urge to paddle back out sticks with you.

    Frequently Asked Questions (9)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Zuma Beach Malibu Private Surfing Adventure?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
