Alongside carving waves, I immersed myself in college and high school football, basketball, and track, finding joy in the thrill of competition. As a competitor in the Hawaii Amateur Surfing Association for 5 years, I honed my skills in the ocean's embrace. Complementing my active lifestyle, I prioritize breathwork, stretching, and a healthy diet to nourish both body and soul. Transitioning into coaching, I've shared my love for sports with the next generation through coaching high school and pop warner football, as well as youth basketball. As an Oahu Professional Photographer, I've captured the beauty of surfing, sports, weddings, and family portraits, preserving cherished memories for clients. For the past decade, I've surfed the waves of San Francisco, delighting in small to medium fun perfect waves and discovering local gems based on conditions. Currently, I'm homeschooling my 8-year-old daughter, embracing the opportunity to instill a love for learning and adventure. ## Pack prices - 1 prepaid lesson: $150 total, $150 per lesson - 3 prepaid lessons: $330 total, $110 per lesson - 10 prepaid lessons: $950 total, $95 per lesson ## Where lessons happen - Linda Mar Beach 5000 CA-1, Pacifica, California - Pacifica State Beach, Pacifica, California - Ocean Beach (Advanced Surfers Only), San Francisco, California - Linda Mar Beach, Pacifica, California - Linda Mar Beach, Pacifica, California ## Reviews > We had a great time with Russ!

He emphasizes safety and makes you feel comfortable in the water and being in the line-up with the other surfers. Last, but not least, he helps you ride waves and develop a feel for the ocean. > From Dylan, 5 out of 5 > As a beginner in the water , Russ’s mellow, easygoing but straightforward approach gave me comfort and confidence, and he seemed to really know his stuff, with his decades of surf experience. He helped to guide me in what to expect, so that I could relax and focus enough to learn to stand up on the board for the first time. > From Luna, 5 out of 5 > Russ provided excellent support and went above and beyond during our session. Not only did he lend me his equipment, but he also extended our lesson time to teach me more than I had booked. I managed to stand up twice thanks to his guidance. I will definitely recommend him and plan to take more lessons in the future. > From Tenzing, 5 out of 5 > I loved getting more familiar with my board and working on the waves and timing during my second session with Russ. I still need to improve my paddling, but it was a good session overall.
