Born and raised in Queens, New York, Rockaway Beach is my home break. I’ve surfed all over the world—from Hawaii to Indonesia, Puerto Rico to Peru, as well as California and Japan. I’m passionate about teaching and giving people the opportunity to learn this amazing sport while connecting with nature and the waves.
"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!
Born 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!
"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.
I'm Jacky Loving, a dynamic coach fueled by a fervent passion for surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding, which have taken me on exhilarating journeys across the globe. Armed with certifications in yoga, youth fitness, and children's mental health, I'm dedicated to empowering others to find harmony with nature and themselves. Through my coaching, I aim to guide individuals on a transformative path of self-discovery and outdoor exploration, fostering fulfillment and connection with the elements.
"Meeting Jacky has been a huge gift. My 9 year old son started skateboarding with Jacky during the summer. He went from “no way can I do this” to “when can I go again? Can you call Jacky?” :blush: Then…surf camp started and there was no turning back… in the best way! Jacky and her team are phenomenal. The pure joy that my child has experienced and expressed while in her care and guidance is immeasurable. Jacky has a very special touch and seems to work magic with kids. I am so grateful that my child has had an opportunity to learn from Jacky…and we look forward to more adventures with her and her wonderful group of skaters and surfers that assist her. Each one of them has proven to be genuinely interested in helping kids succeed in a really fun and supportive way. Colin’s positivity and ubiquitous smile compliment Jacky’s beautiful nature and her regard for each child as a unique individual. Nurturing a love and appreciation for spending time outdoors while building confidence in her students/campers/followers is truly something that Jacky succeeds with. My highest compliments and deepest gratitude go out to Jacky.
From the shores of Lake Michigan to the sandy beaches of Florida, I've been riding the waves since my teenage years, learning the art of surfing from my talented cousins. Bringing the surf culture to the Great Lakes, I've witnessed a surge in interest, with more people taking to the waters year-round, even in winter's chill. As a passionate advocate for surfing, I've shared my knowledge with countless individuals, from kids to adults, helping them experience the thrill of catching a wave. Additionally, I volunteered at Third Coast Rising, a nonprofit providing free therapy to veterans and first responders through surfing. Together, we're not just riding waves; we're making waves of positive change in our community.
"Legendary lake surfer will get you up on a wave. He's one of the most stoked guys I've ever met, and he kept me stoked for the entirety of our surf lesson.
Life-long surfer with over 30 years experience. Travels include California, Costa Rica, and The Caribbean. Thrives on teaching others -- as this is one of the great joys in the sport! Also, has a keen eye for style and technical proficiency.
"Matt was a great instructor. He not only helped me get comfortable in the ocean, but he helped me learn about my surroundings as to respect other surfers who are dropping in waves. He was really patient and constructive. I was nervous being in the ocean but Matt helped keep me at peace. I would totally recommend.

I was pretty nervous coming in because I had never played tennis before but Armaan eased the environment so much and I actually learned more than I ever thought on my first session alone.
Hands down the best coach I could have asked for and I will be continuing to work with him on a weekly basis.
Elson G.
This is my first time taking up golf at the age of 49. My coach is very patient. He knows a lot of different techniques that can help someone as novice as me to someone that is a higher caliber player.
He is also very engaged and sends different video clips to help with your learning.
Himanshu S.
My coach is friendly, supportive, especially for beginners like myself.
Despite it being my first time playing pickleball, he made sure I felt comfortable and picked up the game quickly.
His enthusiasm and encouragement are contagious, making learning a joyous experience!
Jackie S.
Very easy to book right from start. Coach Jacob is very easy going and very knowledgeable. We were in same page from start of lesson with what I wanted to work on.
I'm going to work on today's lesson and I'll comeback to book more if i feel it's getting away from me again.

Connor was very patient and attentive with my wife and I. It was our first time golfing, and Connor gave us some really great advice.
Really looking forward to future lessons with him.
Jason Y.
I had never played Pickleball before and the first time I played with my coach, I learned everything about the game and how to play in a short amount of time.
The way he taught made it really easy to play and fun to learn. I really enjoy playing now!
Ryan M.
This app was a fantastic find. It paired my son with a local coach who was highly skilled and wonderful with kids.
He focused on fundamentals while building my son's confidence, and we saw real improvement both in his skills and his enthusiasm for the game.

My wife and I have never played tennis before so we were terrible at the beginning of the lesson.
Our coach gave very specific instructions and by the end of the lesson we had learned multiple swings and were hitting everything.
Darroll J.
Charlotte was amazing. This was my very first time golfing and she made me feel very comfortable and she had lots of knowledge.
I'd definitely recommend her to anyone wanting to learn.
Jocolbe P.
It provided a way to see a whole lot of coaches and reviews. Picked one and everything is done right there through the app: scheduling, communications, and payment.
It certainly couldn't be easier
