I'm Coach Ed, a lifelong surfer from Brazil, and I've been riding the waves since I was 7 years old! Now at 44, surfing is more than just a passion—it's a way of life. For over 20 years, I've been sharing that passion by teaching surf lessons, working with all ages and skill levels. I love helping others find their stoke on the waves. I'm also a proud family man, with a beautiful wife and a lovely young daughter who keep me grounded and inspired every day.
"Ed is an impressive! a professional who knows how to technically teach you how to improve and easily understand how to maximize your surfing potential. I highly recommend this excellent instructor.

Aloha friends! I’m Mikey and I’m just a dude that has been surfing for 30 years now. I started as a teen to be cool and win over the cute girls but I quickly became obsessed! Surfing is my life and I’m a surfer. I love to share the stoke of surfing! It’s the most exhilarating and rewarding sport. Actually, I would call surfing a lifestyle. I hope to meet y’all and teach you how to catch a bunch of waves and to appreciate the beauty of the ocean. Y’all will also learn to respect the power of ocean so I keep it safe and most importantly super fun! See ya out in the water and stay stoked!
"Mikey’s the best! Super supportive, clear, direct, locked in. Super grateful!
