Southern California Surf Tours

FLY IN.
WE'LL GET YOU SURFING

Airport pickup. The right board. The right wave for your level.

Surfing somewhere new means hunting for rentals, guessing which breaks are safe for your ability, and figuring out how to get there with a board. We've been there. Now we handle all of it — from the moment you land until we drop you back at your gate — across San Diego, Orange County, and LA/Malibu.

Surf Travel
Shouldn't Be Hard

Every surfer who's traveled knows the routine: you land somewhere amazing, then lose your first day trying to find a decent rental board, a ride that'll fit it, and a break that won't chew you up — or bore you to death.

Southern California has some of the most consistent waves on the planet, but it's spread across 200 miles of coastline and three very different regions. Locals know where to go on a given swell, tide, and wind. Visitors usually don't.

So we built the trip we always wished we had: a local surfer picks you up, puts you on a board that fits your level, reads the conditions, and takes you to the spot that'll give you your best session that day.

How It Works

Tell us when you land and how you surf. We take care of boards, rides, and spot selection for the rest of your trip.


1

Tell Us About You

Send your travel dates, arrival airport, group size, and an honest read on your surfing. We build a plan around it.

2

Airport Pickup

We meet you at arrivals at SAN, SNA, LAX, or LGB and take you and your luggage to your hotel or rental.

3

Get Fitted

Soft-tops, longboards, funboards, or performance shortboards — plus wetsuits for the season. Sized to your height, weight, and skill.

4

Daily Surf Runs

We check swell, tide, and wind each morning, then drive you to the break that suits your level best that day.

5

Back to Your Gate

Last session done, boards returned, and we drop you back at the airport. Nothing to ship, nothing to return.

Surf Tour FAQ


Absolutely. We'll put you on a stable soft-top and take you to gentle, sandy-bottom beaches like La Jolla Shores or Doheny. Let us know in your request and we can arrange in-water instruction for your first sessions.
Every morning we look at swell size and direction, tide, and wind, then match that to your ability. The same beach can be perfect one day and too big or too flat the next — that's exactly the guesswork we take off your plate.
Yes. We'll transport it with us, and you can still borrow from our quiver if conditions call for something different.
Southern California water is cool most of the year. We include a properly-rated wetsuit with your rental — a full suit in winter and spring, and a spring suit or trunks on the warmest late-summer days.
Of course — just note it in your request so we plan seating and luggage space. Most of our spots have great beaches, cafés, and walks nearby.
Pricing depends on trip length, group size, airports, and which regions you want to surf. Send a request and we'll come back with a clear, all-in quote before you commit to anything.
