Malibu Makos Surf Camp

Offers surf camps and lessons in Malibu for all ages and skill levels, focusing on safety and fun. Malibu Makos has been teaching kids to surf at Zuma Beach since 1991, making it one of Southern California's most established surf camps. Instruction is led by pro surfers, ocean lifeguards, and credentialed teachers who emphasize patience, ocean safety, and building genuine water confidence alongside surf technique. The exceptional 3:1 student-to-instructor ratio means every camper gets real, personalized attention in the water—a rarity among surf programs. Campers can attend any 5, 10, or 15 days with makeup days at no charge, and transportation is available from nearby communities. Free pizza on Fridays is a beloved tradition that keeps kids coming back year after year. [UMBRELLA — see granular entries IDs 1713-1713] Highlights: Transportation available; Flexible attendance.
