"Honestly, I appreciated how Jose manages to keep the lesson practical, making steady progress seem achievable. The highlight for me was learning new skills, though catching waves could still improve, but I’m optimistic about that. Still, it’s a solid step forward and worth trying if you’re into surfing with an instructor who genuinely supports growth.

Riding waves isn't just a sport for me; it's a lifelong passion I want to share. I have been surfing since I was 5 years old and competing around the world since 15. I have actively coached for 4 years now and do many different styles of coaching. One on one in the water as well as professional videography. As a former pro surfer with 15 years of teaching experience, I offer expert guidance with an encouraging, personalized approach. Let's unlock your surfing potential!

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.
