Best 2 coaches for Surfing lessons near Sausalito, CA

For clients who already surf regularly, lessons are designed to meet you at your current skill level and help refine the abilities you already have. Whether you are looking to improve consistency, confidence, wave selection, or overall performance, each session is structured to sharpen both your technical skills and your understanding of the ocean. In the water, we focus on building efficiency and precision—improving paddling, positioning, timing, takeoffs, and reading waves with greater confidence. As your foundation becomes stronger, we work on higher-level performance skills such as trimming for speed, generating flow down the line, improving turns, cutbacks, and making better decisions during every part of the ride. Each lesson is centered around my four core pillars of surfing: ocean knowledge, positioning and timing, technique and mechanics, and confidence through decision-making. These pillars create a consistent framework for progression and ensure that no session is wasted, regardless of wave quality or conditions. Even on smaller or less ideal days, there is always meaningful work to be done. This approach allows you to continue progressing every time you enter the water, rather than simply going through the motions. The goal is not just to surf more, but to surf smarter—developing the skills, awareness, and confidence needed to become a stronger, more complete surfer in all types of conditions.

Sunscreen, maybe a snack for after, definitely be hydrated and ready to exercise.

I adapt my lessons to match my clients current skills and have worked with kids the past 6 years teaching surfing and other recreational outdoor sports.
