"What would a trip to Malibu be without a surf sesh? Unfortunately, if you're assuming you can just rent a board and easily hop in the line off Surfrider Beach--you're wildly mistaken. And I say this as someone who attempted to do just that!
The notorious surf spots around Malibu (Surfrider and County Line for example) are highly territorial, with local shredders riding their line even if you're sitting in it. Don't get knocked in the head with a board like I did, instead sign up for a surf lesson and you'll be much better off!
The company I rode a soft board with for the first time years ago appears to be out of business (RIP Malibu Surf Shack), so I've linked another reputable company in the area.
You don't necessarily need to book with this operator and should instead ideally pick a business that runs lessons close to your lodging, but either way an initial lesson is key to ensure you stay safe on these challenging waves."
