Learn to surf improve your skills and get stoked

This surf school provides small group and private surf lessons and coaching in various prime locations around Malibu. The school was founded and is instructed by Greece's official olympic surf team member and accomplished competitor Dimitri Papavassiliou.

Dimitri Papavassiliou, born in 1993, has been surfing since he was 3 years old. He competed in the NSSA surf contests and was a member of the Malibu High school surf team. His dream is to continue to pursue professional surfing, teach surf lessons and coach. Dimitri is American and Greek. Ten years ago he decided he wanted to represent Greece in the ISA World Surfing Games.

At the time, Greece did not have an official surfing organization and surfing was not on the radar. However, a few years ago it was discovered that there were great conditions for surfing in Crete as well as in the Western Peloponnese. This triggered Dimitri's interest to travel to Greece in the winter of 2019. When Dimitri arrived he was welcomed by local surfers, experienced amazing Greek hospitality and spent 3 months exploring and discovering surf spots that were truly exceptional.

Dimitris patience is the most notable attribute he possesses. It stems from his kind and personable ways which creates an environment where students will flourish their surf skills. Come take a lesson!
