I started surfing at eleven and turned pro in my early teens, winning USA championships in both longboard and shortboard. Now, I'm here to help you master technique, movement, and wave knowledge. Whether you're a beginner or aiming to improve, I've got the experience to boost your surfing game. Let's ride the waves together!
"That lesson with Francesca had great energy and positivity, which was pretty encouraging. I especially liked her relaxed approach and how she kept the vibe natural, though I still want to stand up on a green wave next time. Still, I feel like I’m making progress, and it’s encouraging to have someone so steady guiding the way. If you're into lessons that foster a calm but motivating environment, you might want to give Francesca a shot.
As a Professional Skateboarder I have learned that Surfing is the greatest form of therapy with enormous healing power. As a lifelong surfer with 35 years of experience in the ocean I have learned the benefits and the dangers of the sea. Progression, Safety and FUN are my three main priorities when teaching techniques of proper wave riding, harnessing the ocean’s movements and while enjoying the thrill of it all, Sharing my wealth of knowledge of surfing and surf culture is my duty to get you up and riding with confidence and style.
I’m an ISA certified surf instructor + certified lifeguard with years of experience working for multiple surf schools across San Diego.
"Sal was awesome to work with! We both felt like we learned something and are excited to keep improving.
Ride the wave of improvement with me! With 15 years of surfing experience and an amateur surfing background, I offer expert guidance tailored to your skill level. My passion is fostering confidence and skill in the ocean, ensuring a safe and exhilarating experience.
Riding waves isn't just a sport, it's a lifestyle I've passionately embraced for 30 years, including my time as a pro surfer. I blend technical expertise with an engaging teaching style, ensuring every student discovers the joy and skill of surfing. Let's catch some waves!
"Fernando is the real deal and a very thoughtful person. Two years in a row he has been a fantastic surfing instructor for us, The memories of me and my son living the 'surfer life' in California, if but for just a day, I will treasure forever. Fernando goes above and beyond. A pleasure to know him. Hopefully we will see him again next year during our visit. Don't even hesitate, book a session with Fernando!
With over five years of experience teaching beginner and intermediate surfers, I bring a holistic and deeply personal approach to every lesson. My teaching is rooted in mindfulness, breathwork, and the belief that surfing is not just a sport—it’s a pathway to growth, presence, and self-discovery. I’m passionate about helping others find confidence in the water, connection with the ocean, and a deeper understanding of themselves through surfing. For me, the lessons we learn on the board mirror the challenges and triumphs of everyday life, and I’m honored to guide others on that journey.
"Jake was a great teacher! Very easy to understand material, and overall a great, safe vibe. Very patient and great messages. Doing this lesson was alot of fun and taught me many things I can take into my practice!
