Learn to surf in Los Angeles with Fun Surf LA, a surf school based on the iconic Venice Beach that welcomes beginners as well as surfers who want to refine their skills. Each lesson starts on the sand with 30 to 40 minutes of beach training, where an expert, English-speaking instructor shows you the basics before you head into the water. You then spend a full hour in the ocean with your instructor, putting your land training to the test on the waves, and the rest of the session is yours to practise freely on the surfboard provided. A wetsuit and surfboard are included.

Depending on the option you choose, your lesson takes place at Venice Beach or Santa Monica State Beach, two of the city's best-known stretches of coastline, so you can also soak up the lively beach atmosphere before or after your session. It is a fun way to experience Southern California's surf culture and enjoy a day of sun, sand and waves on the shores of Los Angeles.
