"José is an excellent teacher. You will enjoy every minute of the class. Bring your own board and wetsuit so you can derive the most benefit from the class.



I grew up in Maui Hawaii since the age of 4. Played in the waves my whole life and grew up learning to swim at one of the most dangerous beaches in the world. Started off body surfing and body boarding when I was young then went to the board at 17 and started teaching since 2024.
"Really awesome coach. Keanu had great vibes and was so enthusiastic to help out. He was also very patient despite our first time surfing!
