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. 🌞🌴

With over a decade of surf experience and five years as an ocean lifeguard, I'm equipped and ready to pass on those skills to those looking to learn how to surf and interpret the ocean environment.

"Getting everything I wanted from my lesson, I can say it was quite comprehensive and well-organized, really giving me a good feel for surfing. Everything was covered thoroughly, and Jake kept the session informative yet relaxed. Still, I think a bit more focus on specific techniques might make the experience even better next time. But honestly, I’d be happy to try another lesson with him.

Fueled by a lifelong connection to the ocean, I bring 20 years of surfing experience, including competing professionally, to every lesson. I'm dedicated to helping students of all levels find their flow and passion for riding waves. Let's unlock your surfing potential together!
