About your surfing coach

Master the fundamentals of wave riding while having a blast! After 23 years of surfing I find teaching people is as rewarding as riding the best waves. My career includes surfing on Maui, Oregon Coast, Great Lakes, and of course all over California. Competitively I won the first time competitors event at the 2024 Carolina Pro Am. Let’s learn and surf together! Mahalo! πŸ€™πŸΌ

Seraina
Greg taught me how to paddle out on a bigger day by using deeper water to our advantage. He then told me where to sit with great precision so I would be able to catch my first overhead wave. Once in a lifetime experience.
Drew
Greg was extremely welcoming, communicative, and knowledgeable of the Ocean. He broke down surfing into a step by step process that made it simple to understand and execute all while entertaining us with jokes for the hour and a half we were out. Overall awesome experience!
Sehaj
Greg was extremely easy to work with and accommodating even when we had to reschedule the lesson. During the lesson he was equally fun and excellent at teaching.
Megan and Sarah
We had a blast surfing with Greg the entire time was a revolving door of catching waves thanks to his knowledge of the Ocean.
Steve and Katherine
