SURF CAMP Redondo Beach
Starting at Age 7, our Surf Camp designed for first-time, beginner and intermediate surfers looking to improve their confidence and competence in the waves. Our small class size and incredibly low instructor to camper ratio of 1:4 ensures a safe environment with hyper-focused, individualized instruction for each camper. Our Surf Camp curriculum was designed by expert local surfer and instructor, Tommy Ostendorf, and is lead by experienced waterwomen and men who are excited to share their knowledge with their campers. In addition to learning surfing techniques, campers will also be educated on other essential aspects of surfing including, wave formation, tides, rip tides and currents, etiquette, equipment and much more!

- Location: Camp is setup next to a staffed LA County Lifeguard tower. Coaches and Lifeguards communicate daily about ocean conditions and coaches always defer to lifeguards on safety matters.
