About your surfing coach

I'm deeply connected to the ocean, and surfing is my passion. With a background as a former ocean lifeguard and swim instructor, I've spent countless hours in the waves, learning their secrets. Now, I'm excited to share that knowledge with female students. I have found that women learn in a different way than men, my style of coaching is more intuitive and flows better with female clients. Whether you're a beginner looking to catch your first wave or an experienced surfer aiming to level up your skills, I'm here to help. Let's dive in together and unlock the magic of riding waves!

Kerry was wonderful! This was my very first time trying to surf, and she made me feel very comfortable while out in the water. Her direction was very clear and she was so patient with me while I attempted to get the hang of it. Looking forward to more lessons with Kerry! Check her out!

Really appreciate Kerry’s guidance!! She’s very personal and kind, and down to get straight to learning, and she’s also patient if you need some time to slow down a bit (like I did). 10/10 would recommend!

That lesson with Kerry was quite good, honestly. The focus on improving my technique really hit the mark, and I felt more confident on the board afterward. Though I still need to work on timing, the relaxed attitude Kerry maintains made the lesson feel natural. I particularly appreciated the guidance on paddling and positioning, which really helped me to catch waves more consistently. Still, I’m hopeful that with a few more lessons, I’ll make even better progress. If you’re into steady, no-pressure learning, I’d suggest giving Kerry a try.
