The ocean is a magical place with endless potential to energize and heal the mind and body. I have devoted the last six years to making it my second home, and I love every minute I spend in the water.
A bit about my surfing background: I love riding longboards and midlengths, and my home breaks are Scripps Pier and 11th Street in Del Mar. As someone who started as an adult beginner, I understand how challenging it can be to get comfortable in the water.
Towards the end of my time at UC San Diego, I worked as a surf instructor in the rec program, gaining experience with a structured approach to improving progression. This role allowed me to help others navigate their surfing journey, and I take great joy in sharing my passion and knowledge with fellow surfers.

I’m so happy my introduction to surfing was with Prateek! He has a lot of knowledge about the local spots and can direct you to great content and material you can use to improve your mental and physical game. He’s also very patient and incredibly stoked to see his students do well. Highly recommend!

Thanks for a great lesson! Working on progressing from a foamie to a midlength and i’m stoked to have prateek help me with my line, my take-off, and leading with my head. Prateek has a lot of knowledge about surfboards and contours and made buying a new board very easy and relatively inexpensive!

Loved the learning curve from day 1 to day 5! Prateek knows how to structure his teaching so I have more than just knowledge, I understand how the water moves better and know how to read breaks and have practices and exercises to work on in the gym. Thank you for a great session!
