"Jeff was really kind. Someone who is very patient and chill is nice to have as a surfer instructor. He didn’t push me past my comfort level, but let me explore. I don’t have much experience surfing and he didn’t try to bombard me with too much information.
Jeff
I was born and raised in Kauai, Hawaii, where surfing was my life. I caught my first wave at the age of six, and I've been chasing that feeling for the 25 years. Surfing has taken me on countless adventures, from epic surf trips to thrilling competitions. Despite my early reluctance, I eventually found my calling as a surf instructor, dedicating myself to mastering the art of teaching surfing. Now, I'm passionate about sharing my knowledge and love for the waves with others, guiding them on their own journey of wave riding and self-discovery.

Jacob
My name is Koby I’m 24 years old and I’m a professional surfer with over 20 years of experience in the water. I started surfing at the age of four and grew up in Encinitas, California, where the ocean has always been at the center of my life. Surfing has taken me around the world, allowing me to experience new waves, cultures, and communities, but Encinitas will always be home. For the past eight years, I’ve been teaching surfing, combining technical coaching with a focus on fun and connection. I love helping others feel comfortable in the ocean and watching their skills grow, but above all, I believe the best part of surfing is simply enjoying the ride.
