About Daniel

I was born and raised in Kauai, Hawaii, where surfing was my life. I caught my first wave at the age of six, and I've been chasing that feeling for the 25 years. Surfing has taken me on countless adventures, from epic surf trips to thrilling competitions. Despite my early reluctance, I eventually found my calling as a surf instructor, dedicating myself to mastering the art of teaching surfing. Now, I'm passionate about sharing my knowledge and love for the waves with others, guiding them on their own journey of wave riding and self-discovery.

About Kerry

I'm deeply connected to the ocean, and surfing is my passion. With a background as a former ocean lifeguard and swim instructor, I've spent countless hours in the waves, learning their secrets. Now, I'm excited to share that knowledge with you. Whether you're a beginner looking to catch your first wave or an experienced surfer aiming to level up your skills, I'm here to help. Let's dive in together and unlock the magic of riding waves!

What students say...

"That lesson with Kerry was quite good, honestly. The focus on improving my technique really hit the mark, and I felt more confident on the board afterward. Though I still need to work on timing, the relaxed attitude Kerry maintains made the lesson feel natural. I particularly appreciated the guidance on paddling and positioning, which really helped me to catch waves more consistently. Still, I’m hopeful that with a few more lessons, I’ll make even better progress. If you’re into steady, no-pressure learning, I’d suggest giving Kerry a try.
