Dawn Patrol Surf Camp Los Angeles

Our Goal:

For surfers taking part in Dawn Patrol sessions, our goal is to further develop their surfing technique and more importantly to prepare them to be safe independent surfers for their surfing journey beyond surf camp. Skills covered range from learning to read the surf forecast, evaluating conditions, reading waves, trying different boards, surf vocabulary and maneuvers such as bottom turns, cutbacks, snaps, floaters, etc.

FAQs

Q: Can my camper go to Dawn Patrol and then stay for surf camp?

A: Absolutely, Dawn Patrol is a great way to make the most of the day and get more time in the water before surf camp. We do require that parents pack extra food and water though as campers should be eating a nutritious snack or meal between sessions.

Q: How do I register my surfer for Dawn Patrol?

A: The process is the same as registering for surf camp. You can purchase Dawn Patrol Credits (By-the-day or by-the-week) to reserve your dates OR you can use half day camp credits to reserve Dawn Patrol sessions.

Q: Is my child ready for Dawn Patrol?

A: We recommend doing a session at surf camp and asking one of our surf instructors, they’ll know from working with the surf campers where they’re at in their surfing progression and if they are independent enough for Dawn Patrol. An easy indicator is if they are “surfing on the outside” or “with the outside group at camp.” This is when surfers catch their waves from outside of the impact zone (where waves break) instead of “inside” in the white water.

Q: What is the difference between Dawn patrol and a regular session of surf camp?

A: The early morning Dawn Patrol sessions will have a more specific focus on advanced surfing skills, conditions analysis, and feedback from experienced instructors.
