Private Surfing Lessons & Instructors in Coronado, CA
These instructors teach at top ranked spots and have great lesson fulfillment & student reviews.
I've been surfing for about 10 years, having competed in the shortboard division on my high school surf team. I primarily ride short boards, ranging from thrusters to twin fins, but I also have experience with longboarding and other alternative shapes. As an avid surfer, I hit the waves daily whenever conditions are good. Over the past 5 years, I've enjoyed teaching many friends how to surf and sharing my passion and knowledge of the sport.

Christian
With over five years of experience teaching beginner and intermediate surfers, I bring a holistic and deeply personal approach to every lesson. My teaching is rooted in mindfulness, breathwork, and the belief that surfing is not just a sport—it’s a pathway to growth, presence, and self-discovery. I’m passionate about helping others find confidence in the water, connection with the ocean, and a deeper understanding of themselves through surfing. For me, the lessons we learn on the board mirror the challenges and triumphs of everyday life, and I’m honored to guide others on that journey.

I’ve taught several people so far, I’ve surfed for over 20 years. I have a go with the flow kind style. I want to know what I am working with so I’m going to have the student practice there pop up on the beach. Check them on what they should work on and then advance.

I love teaching in general but when I love what I’m teaching, it’s inevitable for me to make a lasting impression on my students/clients. Surfing is my favorite activity on the planet and it brings me great joy to pass on such an incredible pastime to others. I have taught all skill levels and ages from 4 years old to 74 years old.
