Get the Ultimate Surfing Experience with our Malibu Surf Coaches
Every person in the Always Summer Surf School surfs. From the website builder to the phone operator to the instructor, we all surf. It seems obvious that people teaching you how to surf would know how to surf.
This is sadly not true for a staggering number of operations globally (especially Southern California). Always Summer Surf School will always stay true to our roots. Our Surf Coaches not only rip but love surfing and want to share a little bit of our culture with you.

Anthony Petro was born and raised in Southern California. He has been surfing over fifteen years. From 2009 – 2016 he lived in Hawai’i on the island of O’ahu where he perfected his skills as a waterman. Since his return to California, he was appointed Director of Operations at his friend’s surf school, Malibu Surf Coach. For the past ten years he has built complete training structure into surf education and ocean safety programs for children and adults. His goal is to now spread the joy of surfing in a fun and friendly environment for all ages and skill levels.
Matthew Markman is a Southern California native. In 2010 his life changed.
