About PhilippI've surfed on and off for 7 years, taught at Pillar Point Surf School at 14, and have been a lifeguard since then. I'm CPR certified and an art student at Otis College in LA. I've taught students ages 5 to 65. My lessons are patient and encouraging: we start on the sand with ocean safety, paddling and your pop-up, then head into the water together. I love working with beginners and kids.Go to profileBest price

“Hannah is my sister but I asked her to help me with my turns. She would watch me surf and give me feedback about my bottom turns and snaps. I definitely got better having her to tell me what I can fix.”Aeon R., student · shared by Hannah

About HannahSurfing is one of the few things that pulls me completely into the present, and I want to share that feeling. Of all the sports I've enjoyed, there's something magical about working with nature and learning to read it.
I've spent years surfing and chasing waves in different parts of the world, and its become a major way I explore and experience new places.
Whether you're a beginner or building confidence, my goal is for you to leave feeling more confident and even more excited to get back out!Go to profileHannah S.From $145 per lesson

“We booked this experience last minute (day before on a whim, and we couldn't have asked for it to be any better! David was absolutely fantastic and had both our kids (ages 5 and 9) comfortable on a surf board very quickly. They were both able to stand up and surf (not every time, but both at least once!) and just really had a blast trying it out. Communication and scheduling was quick and easy. I would absolutely recommend trying a lesson!”Bryce. K., parent · shared by David
