About Jacob

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.

What students say...

"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.
