Brought up in Venice, California, get an authentic Dog Town skateboarding learning experience here in Los Angeles, available for all ages. With two decades of skateboarding experience, I'm dedicated to nurturing skills. I foster a positive and supportive learning environment. My focus is on safety, technique, and confidence.
"My 7-old had never ridden a skateboard before. After the first lesson, he was pushing and gliding with some comfort and confidence. After his second, he was going down ramps and having fun. Badri has an easy-going and patient way about him that put my son at ease right away. He’s also been really easy to communicate with. We’re going to keep taking lessons with Badri.



I have extensive experience as a private surf coach in Southern California and in Central Florida. I am an Orange County California native who has been surfing since grade school and can teach all levels, from beginners who have never surfed before to intermediate surfers who are looking to hone their skills. I am fully certified as an advanced Lifesaver (with all the requisite knowledge) and worked as a junior lifeguard in Orange County when I was in high school and college.
With over 24 years of playing experience and more than 3 years of coaching at the club level, I bring a deep understanding of the game and a passion for teaching to every session. My focus is to develop each player’s technical ability, tactical awareness, and confidence through personalized, high-quality training. Currently providing private training for 6 youth players, I design sessions that build a strong foundation in ball control, passing, movement, and game intelligence — all while keeping the training competitive and fun. My goal is to help players reach their full potential and grow a lifelong love for the game. Flexible schedule available for one-on-one or small group sessions.
