About Kalani

Iโ€™ve been surfing since I was 4 years old, and for the past 18 years Iโ€™ve been sharing my passion by teaching people of all ages how to surf. As a former professional surfer, I combine experience, technique, and a love for the ocean in every lesson. My specialty is teaching children, but I also coach beginners and advanced surfers through in-water instruction and personalized video analysis to help them improve their skills and confidence.

What do coaches say I need to bring to my lesson?

P

Coach Parker

surfing coach

If you have a surfboard that youโ€™d like to learn on, Iโ€™d encourage you to bring it in order to build familiarity with your own board! Otherwise, I do have some boards for you to use.

Water, a towel (for after), sunblock, and for lessons longer than an hour an easy snack to go down (fruits, nuts, or protein bar).

What do coaches say about teaching kids and youth?

P

Coach Parker

surfing coach

Working at summer camps as a water ski instructor and lifeguard, I have experience teaching children water sports. For kids, it is very important to choose equipment and surf conditions that are suitable not only for their age but their skill level and water competency. Just as important though, is making them feel secure and confident throughout the lesson. Therefore it is key that the parent or guardian work with me to tailor the lesson for their child(ren).

Coach Cj

surfing coach

Simple instructions are the best ones for all ages but especially kids. I keep high energy and enthusiasm and make the ocean an inviting environment for the kids! Those who are reluctant to get in the water may start their lesson off with me doing some simple body surfing in the white water or just spend time in the shallows so they can acclimate to the ocean.
