“My teen daughter did a surf camp with Sierra and loved it! David is an amazing instructor who cares for his students. He made sure to give every student some one-on-one instruction even within the group class. He prioritizes safety and is very encouraging and generous to students! I will sign up my daughter for another surf camp!”Min C., parent · shared by David

“Tom’s a great instructor. Nothing is more satisfying than seeing your child succeed. He’s enabled my daughter to do that with surfing through his knowledge and patience.”Ellen M., parent
About ThomasBorn and raised on the shores of Babylon, NY, I've ridden the waves of the East Coast since childhood, braving cold winter swells and eagerly awaiting the summer hurricanes. As soon as possible, I embarked on surf safaris, exploring breaks from the Caribbean to California and Central America, Oregon to Oahu, and beyond. With over 45 years of experience, surfing has become more than a passion—it's a way of life. Now, as an instructor, I find immense joy in helping others catch their first wave, sharing in the exhilaration that becomes a lifelong memory. Join me in the surf, and let's make some unforgettable waves together!Go to profile98OutstandingTop rated
