Drill Surf & Skate — Local services in Malibu

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...

Place is banging! Going here will help you avoid all of the touristy bs and allow you to experience the Malibu surf vibe.

Graig (owner) is AWESOME. Not only did he help me and my family feel welcome into the area, he also provided some key locations to check out while in Malibu. He recommended restaurants, locations, and a great coffee shop. He also helped me navigate how to get the most out of the area while my family and I were there.

My 18yo, 15yo and myself did surf lessons with Keats.

Keats too was a gnarly dude! While in the water with him, not once did we feel like things were scripted or corporate. He told us stories about his surf travels and spear fishing adventures. Also made it a point to tell us how to read the water and gauge the waves as they’re coming in.

My family and I do a lot of long road trips and if you’re like me and want authentic places when you travel, I highly recommend Drill for your surfing experience! Thanks to these guys myself and my kids can say we’ve surfed in Malibu.

My only regret was not showing the Drill guys how to catch a wave while in my boots 🤣

Thanks Drill guys!! 100% recommended to others and I will 100% revisit if...

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...
