Sunset Point
[North Santa Monica]
California's famous point-break. Sunset Point can offer the experience of a lifetime. This spot is home to some of California's longest rides. This location requires paddling much further away from the shore creating a beautiful connection with the sea. Due to the slow mellow nature of this A-Framed shaped wave, even catching larger waves becomes easy.
Full Disclosure: If this spot sounds too good to be true, unfortunately, there is a catch. Because of the natural shape of the coastline, Sunset Beach only has surfable waves about 50% of the time. If you sign up and it's a day when the ocean is flat, your lesson will be shifted to another location.
It is also worth mentioning that this particular beach is not sandy. The ocean floor is covered in bedrock, so if you are looking to also swim, sunbathe, and chill on the sand, we would recommend choosing another location.
Breakwater
[North Venice]
Shortboarding Paradise
Learn to surf at the world famous venice beach. While the Venice Pier can be an extremely difficult spot for total beginners to learn to surf, this breakwater curbs the waves, making them roll in a bit smoother for an all around fun time.
It's a five-minute walk north of the Venice Pier, also known as Muscle Beach. This spot is especially great for those learning how to transition from a Longboard to a Shortboard and features tons of amazing shops and restaurants steps away from the Venice Boardwalk.
