About your surfing coach
With over three decades of surfing experience (and surf filmmaking), I offer tailored coaching for all skill levels, grounded in a deep understanding of wave dynamics and technique. As a life-long amateur surfer, I blend passion with precision, ensuring a safe, effective, and enjoyable learning journey. I'm an expert longboarder but have also worked with top tier shortboard athletes doing footage capture/analysis for style, power, flow. Whatever your level or goals are, I'm eager to help out and have some fun.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonBeginners will start with on beach conversation about safety and pop up technique. We will then enter the water ... I often wear fins and swim them out so that I can help push them in.
Lesson 11+Focus on wave riding. Theory, technique... video review can be added for analysis
Lesson 4-10Ideally, confidence by the end of the cycle to paddle into a line up. position and catch a wave.
Lesson 2-3The goal is for water confidence, understanding conditions and positioning. Paddle strength does take some time but lessons would work towards students paddling into their own waves and standing up. This can take a few sessions. Feedback will be about positioning, technique and things to work on at home.

Working with kidsFun. it's all about fun and adjusting the lesson to their skill level
Working with teenagersTeens will be tailored towards their skill level. First goal is enjoying time in the ocean and understanding safety, empowering them with the confidence to try their best and work outside of lessons on improving technique.
