Malibu, Calif. — November 13, 2026 — For many parents, the most important question about surf instruction is not how quickly their child will stand up on a board, but who will be in the water alongside them. At Malibu Makos Surf Club, that answer has long been the same: instructors with deep ocean backgrounds, many shaped by years of lifeguarding and surfing.
“Parents hand us something precious when they drop their kids off at the beach,” said Tom Corliss, founder of Malibu Makos Surf Club. “Knowing that the person teaching their child has spent years watching the water and reading conditions gives them real peace of mind.”
Corliss built that philosophy from his own path. Before founding the club in 1991, he worked as an ocean lifeguard, and that perspective still guides how Malibu Makos Surf Club delivers private surf lessons in Malibu, CA. One-on-one sessions allow an instructor to match pace, wave selection, and coaching to each student, whether a nervous first-timer or a returning surfer refining technique.
Younger students benefit most from this approach. Malibu Makos Surf Club offers some of the top kids surf lessons in Malibu, CA, pairing ocean knowledge with a fun, encouraging tone so children leave each session more comfortable in the water than when they arrived. Parents often mention the personal attention their kids receive and instructors who explain why the ocean behaves the way it does.
