We will surf together on our first lesson and do a fun assessment of the students’ skills. Based on their abilities and questions regarding how to improve, we will focus on achieving those goals by building a practice program that focuses first on the fundamental skills necessary to accomplish more advanced techniques.

If you have your equipment please bring it if not I can provide boards and some sizes of suits. Also when we go to the water we don’t bring much more than suits and board, so you don’t need much for your lesson with me. Also if you are looking to get good at the art of riding waves, I encourage you to start looking to buy your own suit and board, I can provide help for that.

Kids are like sponges and quickly pick up my instructions. Sessions are super fun and most importantly safe. I ensure they respect the ocean’s power with the crashing surf, changing rip tides, and variable winds for choppy or glassy conditons.
