Our Private and Group Surf Lessons take place at Rosecrans Avenue in beautiful Manhattan Beach – just 2 miles south of the Los Angeles airport(LAX). We believe this particular location, with it’s stunning beach and consistent, year-round surf is the best location in Los Angeles to take a surf lesson.
We have been permitted through the County of Los Angeles to run surf lessons here since 1997. Beware of other surf schools that claim to do surf lessons in Manhattan Beach, but actually do business at inferior locations. Still other fly-by-night operations will do business here in Manhattan Beach, but are not permitted by the County to do so. These “surf schools” rarely carry insurance and their instructors are generally ill-equipped and under trained. Amusingly, a few of these newcomers have actually plagiarized straight from our website and other literature.
A quick check of our competitors web sites showed a few claiming to be “Los Angeles’ premier surf school”. This is hysterical because that was actually a phrase that came straight out of an article written about our company by the Los Angeles Business Journal. Unlike our competitors who have “borrowed” the phrase from us, we didn’t give ourselves that title. It was bestowed on us by the most respected business journal in Southern California.
Another interesting fact emerged while glancing at our competitors sites; Namely, we have the best prices around. Our lessons are an hour and a half long. A Private Lesson is $90. The more people you have in your lesson, the cheaper the price per person: a 2-person lesson is $80/person, 3-person lesson is $70/person and a group of 4-10 is $60/person. All of our prices include the rental of a board and wetsuit during your surf lesson. If you compare those prices to our competitors, you will be amazed. Most other surf schools in the Los Angeles area charge between $100-$130 for a Private Lesson. Just a couple more reasons to choose Campsurf...
