I've been in the water since I was very young. I started as a Junior Lifeguard then was seasonal Lifeguard in Newport Beach, CA. I've surfed all over the world. I've pursued big swells in Indonesia as well as mainland Mexico, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Iceland.
"Breakthrough on riding the 7’0 board! Fun lesson
Matthew
Raised on the shores of Oahu, Hawaii, my journey began with the rhythm of the waves at the age of 10, sparking a lifelong passion for surfing. Alongside carving waves, I immersed myself in college and high school football, basketball, and track, finding joy in the thrill of competition. As a competitor in the Hawaii Amateur Surfing Association for 5 years, I honed my skills in the ocean's embrace. Complementing my active lifestyle, I prioritize breathwork, stretching, and a healthy diet to nourish both body and soul. Transitioning into coaching, I've shared my love for sports with the next generation through coaching high school and pop warner football, as well as youth basketball. As an Oahu Professional Photographer, I've captured the beauty of surfing, sports, weddings, and family portraits, preserving cherished memories for clients. For the past decade, I've surfed the waves of San Francisco, delighting in small to medium fun perfect waves and discovering local gems based on conditions. Currently, I'm homeschooling my 8-year-old daughter, embracing the opportunity to instill a love for learning and adventure.

The first lesson for a beginner player
Coach Russ

Evaluate ability and establish goals. Identify specific spots that are appropriate for your individual level. Work on techniques and ocean awareness.
Coach Dhruv
surfing coach
I usually consider 3+ levels as advanced. At this level I rally with the student to understand what there tennis level falls between 3 to 4+ skill levels. At this level, there are unique forms of users. I will evaluate the students form and try to optimize that form (for example some students are best with one handed backhand while others are better with 2 handed backhand and some students turn their bodies while hitting while others prefer to keep a more open body position. Whatever your natural form is, I try to improve that with improved fitness and practice.
