"Sal was awesome to work with! We both felt like we learned something and are excited to keep improving.
Riding the waves is more than just a hobby, it's a passion I've been sharing with others for 15 years. As an experienced amateur surfer, I bring a deep understanding of the ocean and a relaxed yet focused approach to teaching. Let's work together to build your confidence and skills on the board, no matter your current level.
"Had a great time, and wants to go again when he returns to SD!
Riding waves isn't just a sport, it's a lifestyle I've passionately embraced for 30 years, including my time as a pro surfer. I blend technical expertise with an engaging teaching style, ensuring every student discovers the joy and skill of surfing. Let's catch some waves!
"Fernando is the real deal and a very thoughtful person. Two years in a row he has been a fantastic surfing instructor for us, The memories of me and my son living the 'surfer life' in California, if but for just a day, I will treasure forever. Fernando goes above and beyond. A pleasure to know him. Hopefully we will see him again next year during our visit. Don't even hesitate, book a session with Fernando!

If you have a surfboard that you’d like to learn on, I’d encourage you to bring those to build familiarity with your board! Otherwise, I do have some equipment you can use, but I’ll need you to reach out to see if they’d be the right fit for you.

Working at summer camps as a water ski instructor and lifeguard, I have experience teaching children water sports. For kids, it is very important to choose equipment and surf conditions that are suitable not only for their age but their skill level and water competency. Just as important though, is making them feel secure and confident throughout the lesson. Therefore it is key that the parent or guardian work with me to tailor the lesson for their child(ren).
