5Experience of a lifetime!
I had the time of my life surfing with Ric! He is an incredible teacher—calm, experienced, and encouraging. He helps you feel at ease from the moment you grab the board. I loved the attention to detail and tips he shared with me during our private lesson. I stood up with every wave and rode the last one all the way into the shore. I’m still dreaming about this experience! If you have even a small desire to try surfing, please do it! I’m counting down the days until I can return to Malibu. Thank you Ric!!
5Ric is awesome!!
Ric was amazing. Best instructor, best experience. 10/10 recommend. He was patient, kind, and made our friend’s birthday lesson a success!
5Surf at Malibu Pier
Surf lesson with Ric was amazing. First lesson for my 20 year old grandson and, in no time, he was up on the board. Not only is he a great instructor, but a cool, fabulous, man. Very kind and thorough! Highly recommend!!!!!
5Ric is Awesome!
Ric was awesome and a very experienced, knowledgeable & respectful surf instructor! Had a great day on the waves with him! He also gave me recommendations for other things to do while in the area :)
5Amazing time and learnt lots
Had a great time! Ric was brilliant. He gave great advice and was extremely knowledgeable about surfing and the area. He was very chill which helped my confidence grow as I haven’t surfed much before and I totally trusted him. Definitely recommend to anyone of any ability.
5Do not miss. Best teacher in an amazing location
Excellent lesson in a world class spot from a very experienced surf instructor. Had a great time and learned a great deal. Do not miss this opportunity.

About Malibu
Malibu is a long strip of Pacific beaches, surf breaks and canyons west of Los Angeles, with the Santa Monica Mountains rising right behind the coast.
Malibu stretches for roughly 34 kilometres along the Pacific Coast Highway, with the steep Santa Monica Mountains on one side and the ocean on the other. Surfrider Beach, beside the Malibu Pier, was the first place in the world to be named a World Surfing Reserve, and the Adamson House, a Spanish Colonial home decorated with local tiles, stands by Malibu Lagoon, where shorebirds gather.
Top-ranked sights in Malibu: Getty Villa, Malibu Country Mart, Point Dume State Beach.
