Malibu Makos Surf Club has taught surfing and ocean safety at Zuma Beach since 1991, and is the only licensed, permitted, and insured surf operator on that stretch of sand. Its instructors — certified ocean lifeguards, professional surfers, and longtime watermen — run private and group lessons plus the region's best-known kids' surf camps, from first-timers to experienced riders. Structured, high-energy, and safety-first, it's Southern California's premier surf school and the definitive way for visitors to learn to surf in Malibu.
