Kerry Rooney profile
About Kerry

I'm deeply connected to the ocean, and surfing is my passion. With a background as a former ocean lifeguard and swim instructor, I've spent countless hours in the waves, learning their secrets. Now, I'm excited to share that knowledge with you. Whether you're a beginner looking to catch your first wave or an experienced surfer aiming to level up your skills, I'm here to help. Let's dive in together and unlock the magic of riding waves!

What students say...

"That lesson with Kerry was quite good, honestly. The focus on improving my technique really hit the mark, and I felt more confident on the board afterward. Though I still need to work on timing, the relaxed attitude Kerry maintains made the lesson feel natural. I particularly appreciated the guidance on paddling and positioning, which really helped me to catch waves more consistently. Still, I’m hopeful that with a few more lessons, I’ll make even better progress. If you’re into steady, no-pressure learning, I’d suggest giving Kerry a try.

Glad to hear Rebecca had a great time during her lesson. It’s nice when things click and she felt like she learned something useful. Alayna’s approach really helps build confidence in surfing. We are visiting San Diego so unfortunately no other lessons planned but will definitely have another lesson with Alayna when we are back. My daughter really liked her.

If you’re thinking about trying surfing, her lessons are definitely worth it. The fun and energy make learning to surf a great experience for anyone ready to catch some waves.

Had an awesome surf lesson with Alayna! She was super kind, easy to talk to, and gave really clear, helpful feedback. We worked on my pop-up and takeoff, and I felt things start to click in the water. Left feeling way more confident and stoked to keep progressing, definitely booking more sessions!

Kerry was wonderful! This was my very first time trying to surf, and she made me feel very comfortable while out in the water. Her direction was very clear and she was so patient with me while I attempted to get the hang of it. Looking forward to more lessons with Kerry! Check her out!

Kerry has a deeper understanding of surfer than just technical skills, she understands surfing to its minute details. From the way your arm direct your board to how the tides move. Kerry has helped me and my boyfriend so much and we have really grown as surfers in just a month!
