What To Expect
We will be meeting at Surfrider Beach, considered one of the most famous surfing beaches in the world. This is the perfect beach for first time surfers all the way up to experienced surfers. Surfrider beach is known for its gentle and long waves as well as its scenic beauty. Our fist 15-20 minutes will be a beach lesson on the sand where we will practice paddling, standing and surfing etiquette. Then out in the water to catch some waves. My goal is to have you catch and stand on as many waves as possible. You will have a blast!

5.00Ric is a friendly and well known surfer from Malibu. He was full of information and introductions to locals. He was genuinely interested in seeing my teen boys get up on a surf board! What a special experience for my family!
Great Experience for My Teens

5.00Great lesson with Ric for my teens who wanted to try out surfing on our west coast trip. Great communication, easy going meet-up, good pointers and some history of area, and lots of time in the water actually practicing. My teens and I were very happy with the whole experience.

5.00Relax and enjoy the wave. Ric was an outstanding instructor. It’s obvious he knows what he’s doing. It was my first time on a surf board, Ric treated me as if we were surf pals from back in the day. I encourage anyone to set up an appointment with Ric if you want to learn or get better at surfing. I feel I received more than my monies worth with Ric.
Surfs up!
