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.
With over two decades immersed in the ocean's rhythm, I'm eager to share my surfing passion. My pro surfer background, coupled with 23 years of teaching, provides a unique perspective to guide you. I blend technical skill with the sheer joy of riding waves.
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.
