Riding a natural element is a feeling like no other, and I'm passionate about sharing that joy with others. As an avid surfer with 20 years of experience riding the ocean, I've honed my skills as an amateur surfer and love guiding others as they progress. I'm dedicated to creating a fun, supportive learning environment where you can confidently build your wave riding skills and hopefully deepen your connection with the ocean.

Hi, my name is CJ! I am local to the Orange County beaches. For years I’ve been in search of those perfect waves, and now, with a decade of experience, I'm thrilled to share that passion with you.

"What energized me was how easy and practical the lesson felt from the start. Cj kept things clear and hands-on, making it simple to follow. This session made me eager to continue improving and mastering the waves. If you’re thinking about learning to surf, Cj’s lessons are definitely worth trying out! 🌊

Hey! I’m Myles, a surf coach who loves helping kids build confidence and have fun in the water. I got my start teaching at Summer of Surf Camp, where I worked with young surfers learning everything from standing up on their first wave to mastering balance and ocean safety. Since then, I’ve also helped friends and family learn to surf, and I’ve seen firsthand how rewarding it is to watch someone catch their first wave. My goal as a coach is to make surfing exciting, safe, and empowering for every kid—whether it’s their very first lesson or they’re ready to take their skills to the next level. 🌞🌴
