Surfing since I was 10 years old all over the world. Started working at the mission bay aquatic center last summer teaching 3000+ students aged 6-22 in various conditions at mission beach, San Diego. Red Cross certified.
I’ve taught several people so far, I’ve surfed for over 20 years. I have a go with the flow kind style. I want to know what I am working with so I’m going to have the student practice there pop up on the beach. Check them on what they should work on and then advance.
I've been teaching surfing and swimming for 12 years. I still get fired up when someone catches their first wave! I got my start teaching in 2014 at Mission Bay Aquatic Center. Besides that, I've also worked with Life Rolls On, helping surfers with special needs catch their first wave since 2017. My teaching style is patient, fun and encouraging. I have traveled all over the world and can also teach lessons in español tambien!

"We booked this experience last minute (day before on a whim, and we couldn't have asked for it to be any better! David was absolutely fantastic and had both our kids (ages 5 and 9) comfortable on a surf board very quickly. They were both able to stand up and surf (not every time, but both at least once!) and just really had a blast trying it out. Communication and scheduling was quick and easy. I would absolutely recommend trying a lesson!
Professional surf since age of 12. I have taught every walk of life and every type of athlete. I will never ask you to do something I won’t do with you.
"That was the coach I’ve been looking for. Jake Was able to articulate and communicate how and what to do in the ocean that made perfect since. He was able to relate surfing to my previous experiences to give surfing a more familiar feeling.
With two decades of surfing experience and an amateur background, I tailor lessons to each student's needs. My goal is to help you ride waves confidently, safely, and with a smile, regardless of your current skill level.
"Nicholas was such a thoughtful, calm and informative instructor!
