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!

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.

What do coaches say I need to bring to my lesson?
Coach Tyler
surfing coach
Water can be cold. Now that summers here we can get away without wetsuits but if you get cold easy I recommend renting one. I have all the boards necessary for any skill type All you need to bring is a towel, swimwear and a water bottle is recommended. I have face sunscreen designed for surfing Rash guard can be provided, but not necessary. I personally wear a regular t-shirt in the water when I’m surfing in boardshorts and want to prevent rashes.
Coach Dylan
surfing coach
Make sure to pack sunscreen, towel, be well rested and ready to learn!
Coach Claudio
surfing coach
If you have your equipment please bring it if not I can provide boards and some sizes of suits. Also when we go to the water we don’t bring much more than suits and board, so you don’t need much for your lesson with me. Also if you are looking to get good at the art of riding waves, I encourage you to start looking to buy your own suit and board, I can provide help for that.
What do coaches say about teaching kids and youth?
Coach Axel
surfing coach
When working with kids in surf lessons, I focus on keeping instructions simple and breaking down skills into easy-to-understand steps. I make the lessons fun by incorporating games and playful activities to keep them engaged while practicing their balance and paddling. Safety is a top priority, so I emphasize basic rules like staying close and being aware of the ocean. We start in shallow, gentle whitewash to build confidence before tackling bigger waves. Most importantly, I provide plenty of encouragement to create a positive and supportive learning environment.
Coach Michael
surfing coach
Kids are like sponges and quickly pick up my instructions. Sessions are super fun and most importantly safe. I ensure they respect the ocean’s power with the crashing surf, changing rip tides, and variable winds for choppy or glassy conditons.
