"Jeff was really kind. Someone who is very patient and chill is nice to have as a surfer instructor. He didn’t push me past my comfort level, but let me explore. I don’t have much experience surfing and he didn’t try to bombard me with too much information.
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.
