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 but I quickly became obsessed! 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!
"Mikey’s the best! He’s patient, encouraging, and brings a great attitude to the learning process. He gives concrete specific feedback to improve each session. I’ve had a few surf instructors and he’s definitely one of the best! Highly recommend!

I grew up in Maui Hawaii since the age of 4. Played in the waves my whole life and grew up learning to swim at one of the most dangerous beaches in the world. Started off body surfing and body boarding when I was young then went to the board at 17 and started teaching since 2024.
"Really awesome coach. Keanu had great vibes and was so enthusiastic to help out. He was also very patient despite our first time surfing!
Keanu
I started surfing at eleven and turned pro in my early teens, winning USA championships in both longboard and shortboard. Now, I'm here to help you master technique, movement, and wave knowledge. Whether you're a beginner or aiming to improve, I've got the experience to boost your surfing game. Let's ride the waves together!
"That lesson with Francesca had great energy and positivity, which was pretty encouraging. I especially liked her relaxed approach and how she kept the vibe natural, though I still want to stand up on a green wave next time. Still, I feel like I’m making progress, and it’s encouraging to have someone so steady guiding the way. If you're into lessons that foster a calm but motivating environment, you might want to give Francesca a shot.
