Dawn Patrol Surf

Born out of a love of the ocean and surfing, Dawn Patrol Surf in Venice, CA is the passion project of 2 brothers from Los Angeles. Our mission is to introduce the stoke and history of surfing in Los Angeles to new and experienced surfers while providing a solid foundation for students to feel comfortable ripping waves. With over 40 years of combined surf experience, we are here to make your adventure unforgettable.

DESCRIPTION

A private, 1-on-1 surf lesson with an experienced local with over 20 years of surfing experience. Our team will teach you how to catch a wave, pop-up and ride the wave into shore. In addition we tailor your experience depending on surf conditions, skill level, and convenient location. Most importantly, our goal is to get you riding a wave and having fun!

WHAT TO EXPECT

We cover all the basics for beginners with dedicated personalized instruction. An instructor will be in the water with you the entire time and pushing you into the best waves for learning.

For intermediate surfers that are looking to brush up on their skills, we take you to the top of the line up and give you pointers on reading the sets, improving your pop-up, and how to initiate and exit turns with style. You’ll be hitting Dawn Patrol with the locals in no time.
