"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.
For many years, I've been sharing my love of surfing with others, guiding them to find their joy on the waves. As an avid surfer myself, I understand the challenges and exhilaration that come with the sport and am passionate about helping others experience a deeper connection with the ocean. I would love to work with you to improve your skills, confidence and bliss in the water.

If you want to develop your surfing skills with an upbeat coach, Gabriel’s lessons are definitely worth trying. You’ll enjoy the experience and see yourself getting better every time. 🌊
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. I never got the cute girl but I did quickly became obsessed with surfing. 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!
"Mike was encouraging and detailed on techniques which help my progression as a surfer
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.
South Bay local surfing since age 8! I’m a special ed aide & future school counselor with a cleared MBUSD Livescan. Because of my educator background, I specialize in patience, safety, and building real confidence with kids. I've taught group & private lessons for Camp Surf, graduated from UC Santa Cruz (with a minor in surfing—kidding!), and surfed CA, Costa Rica & Puerto Escondido. Let a vetted educator tailor a fun, supportive surf session for your child!
