Drill Surf & Skate

"Drill Surf & Skate is by far the BEST place to go for a surfing lesson!! The owner Craig is incredibly kind and thoughtful. He went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience! We were visiting and definitely came to the lesson unprepared but Craig got us set in brand new wet suits to make sure we were as warm as possible, drove us to and from the beach, brought us towels and warm water and then went so far as to give us a tour of the neighborhood and drop us off at our breakfast spot when our Uber was taking too long. Our surf instructor Isaac couldn’t have been nicer and got the three of us up on the very first wave. He took time getting to know us and by the end of the lesson it felt like we were spending the morning with a close friend. I will be coming back whenever I’m in California and I HIGHLY SUGGEST that anyone who is looking to meet amazing people, go to a beautiful beach and learn how to surf call Drill Surf & Skate. Craig and Isaac thank you so much for a beautiful morning and for treating us like family, surfing with y’all was the highlight of our California trip!!!!!"

"Best Shop in town! You get everything what you need when you wanna go skating or surfin. The location is also amazing. You can’t find a shop closer to the ocean!"

"Craig and Co. really cares about you and your surf experience! I came in to Drill Surf & Skate, coming off my surf board breaking from 15 minutes into my surf sesh as I went over the falls (which in surfing means you go over the top part of the wave and you could get really hurt). I didn't get hurt but my board did! My boards fin and fin box broke right out of the Surf board. I live in the deep valley which is an hour away from Zuma, so you can see I was disappointed and bummed. On top of this it was my favorite board. But Craigs friendly and honest assistance with his teams positive energy assured me that I shouldn't buy a new board and this board can be fixed. They said it could take up to a few days to be repaired but Craig called in his guy and got it done the next day! I had my board looking new and better than ever thanks to Craig and his team. Anytime you up near Zuma and you need to go to a surf shop this is the place you should go to! Oh and board rentals are perfectly well priced here as well. I wish more people encompassed the attitude this business had around real honest customer service and not in it for just profit sakes. I will be a loyal customer for years to come!!!"

"We booked surf lessons for an hour, took a break for lunch and then rented boards and wetsuits for a few more hours. Our instructor, Isaac (if I remember correctly), was great at teaching and helping us to learn to read the ocean. Craig, the owner, was a huge help meeting us at the beach access with boards since we were carless. Overall, great experience and highly recommend!"
