About your surfing coach

With two decades of riding the waves under my belt and five years of coaching experience, I'm here to help you become a confident and skilled surfer. Whether you're a complete newbie or looking to take your skills to the next level, I've got you covered. My teaching philosophy goes beyond just riding waves – I aim to equip you with the knowledge and confidence to easily navigate the ocean. During our sessions, we'll cover everything from surf etiquette to understanding ocean conditions and selecting the right equipment. My goal isn't just to give you a lesson – to make you a true surfer, capable of hitting the waves solo and enjoying the thrill of surfing for years to come. So, if you're ready to dive into the world of surfing and unlock your full potential, let's paddle out together. With my guidance and your determination, there's no wave we can't conquer. See you in the lineup!

What you need to bringWater can be cold. Now that summers here we can get away without wetsuits but if you get cold easy I recommend renting one. I have all the boards necessary for any skill type All you need to bring is a towel, swimwear and a water bottle is recommended. I have face sunscreen designed for surfing Rash guard can be provided, but not necessary. I personally wear a regular t-shirt in the water when I’m surfing in boardshorts and want to prevent rashes.

What I can bring8’0 foam board 6’0 foam board Variety of fiberglass short boards, (intermediate coaching sessions only) A few sizes of wetsuits available (working on increasing my inventory to include all sizes soon!)

Getting in the water during my lesson with Tyler was pretty chill, and I really appreciated the focus on just getting comfortable on the board since that's where I need to improve, mainly standing up more confidently. Still, I felt quite helped by that, and I think with some more practice, I'll get there. Though I wish I’d been a bit more confident earlier on, I enjoyed the laid-back vibe and clear instructions Tyler offered. Definitely a good experience for anyone trying to build up that first wave feeling.

That lesson with Tyler was pretty good, honestly. The vibe was relaxed and I enjoyed surfing more than I expected. I’d say the focus on improving surfing technique was quite helpful, and I look forward to working on it further in future lessons. Still, I think a bit more guidance on specific movements might make a difference, but overall, I felt like I gained some confidence, which isn't always easy. If you're into laid-back lessons that aim to build skills, Tyler's probably a solid pick.

Tyler’s coaching style feels more like learning from a friend than a typical lesson, and honestly, that helps me stay relaxed. Though I think advancing my proficiency would really bring the lesson to life, especially with Tyler’s approach to coaching and teaching in mind. Still, I appreciate the straightforward, pressure-free atmosphere, and I think with more practice I’ll be able to push my comfort zone further. Definitely worth trying if you're looking to improve your surfing in a natural, easy-going way.

Had an amazing time at my surfing lesson! The instructor was super friendly, patient, and really knew how to break things down for a beginner like me. I felt safe the entire time and actually caught a few waves! The vibe was relaxed but encouraging, and the experience was unforgettable. Highly recommend to anyone looking to learn or improve their surf skills!

I really enjoyed getting out in the water and just having a fun time with Tyler. The relaxed vibe made it easy to enjoy every moment without stressing about skills. If you want a lesson that’s all about good times and learning at your own pace, this is a great choice. Definitely recommend giving Tyler’s lessons a try! ✌️🌊
