"Had a great time, and wants to go again when he returns to SD!
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.
Riding waves isn't just a sport, it's a lifestyle I've passionately embraced for 30 years, including my time as a pro surfer. I blend technical expertise with an engaging teaching style, ensuring every student discovers the joy and skill of surfing. Let's catch some waves!
"Fernando is the real deal and a very thoughtful person. Two years in a row he has been a fantastic surfing instructor for us, The memories of me and my son living the 'surfer life' in California, if but for just a day, I will treasure forever. Fernando goes above and beyond. A pleasure to know him. Hopefully we will see him again next year during our visit. Don't even hesitate, book a session with Fernando!
