“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.”Bryce S., student
About MarkFrom 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.Go to profileFlexible

“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

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
