About Francesca

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!

What students say...

"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.
