Surfing is one of the few things that pulls me completely into the present, and I want to share that feeling. Of all the sports I've enjoyed, there's something magical about working with nature and learning to read it. I've spent years surfing and chasing waves in different parts of the world, and its become a major way I explore and experience new places. Whether you're a beginner or building confidence, my goal is for you to leave feeling more confident and even more excited to get back out!
"Hannah is my sister but I asked her to help me with my turns. She would watch me surf and give me feedback about my bottom turns and snaps. I definitely got better having her to tell me what I can fix.
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!

"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.
San Diego local with 40 years of surfing experience. Experienced in teaching beginners to intermediate. Have ISA surf lesson credentials. Have soft tops, longboards and shortboards.
