About this tour

Get ready to trade the shore for the waves with a Santa Monica group surf lesson designed for first-timers and surfers looking to improve. Your session begins on the beach, where instructors spend 30–40 minutes helping you prepare and learn the basics. Then head into the ocean for an hour of instruction and practice alongside your instructors. For the remaining time, take the surfboard out and work on your skills at your own pace. Wetsuits and surfboards are provided, so you can focus on finding your balance and enjoying the water. The lesson lasts 120 minutes and welcomes participants ages 12 and up who have basic swimming skills and moderate physical fitness. Meet at 20 Bicknell Ave. in Santa Monica, on the right side of the parking lot near the white Ford E-250 van. Book your Santa Monica group surf lesson and make time for a hands-on day by the Pacific.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.43 from 7 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Santa Monica
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.8.
