Born and raised in San Diego, CA, my passion for surfing started 15 years ago. This journey, filled with overcoming challenges and pushing boundaries brought me a sense of community and a lot of joy. Ultimately I learned surfing was more than sport, it helped me connect deeper to myself and the ocean. With a background in Psychology and experience with diverse populations, my approach emphasizes not only ocean confidence training, technical surf skills, but how surfing positively impacts mental and emotional well-being. I believe in empowering individuals to reach their full potential in and out the surf.

I've been surfing for a few years now, but I still had a lot to learn. Ryan was able to identify the areas where I needed improvement and gave me some great tips and tricks to take my surfing to the next level. He's a knowledgeable and experienced instructor, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their skills.

Had two sessions now with Ryan Luna, I would recommend him hands down to anyone who is interested in learning to surf. He teaches on the land initially and then takes you to the bay to surf. This method helped me to better understand what to expect when you start to surf in the bay.
On whole a great instructor.

I had a great experience learning to surf with Ryan. He's a fantastic instructor who takes the time to ensure his students are comfortable in the water. He gave me some great tips on balancing and standing up on the board, and I was able to catch a few waves by the end of the lesson. Thanks, Ryan!

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonStarting off with the basics on land you will learn proper fundamentals on how to pop up, stay balanced and time the waves. Next we will go over paddling technique and practice. In this first lesson you will get the experience of riding the whitewater with my help and slowly build your independence.
Lesson 11+Once you are surfing the outside I will help you go from surfing with a coach to surfing independently with more control, flow and power in your surfing.
Lesson 4-10Once you can pop up routinely, paddle into your own waves and get through the waves you are ready to learn about surfing the green waves breaking farther out. You’ll use your foundations but you will also now learn the importance of surf etiquette, controlling your speed, and maneuvering right and left with greater control.
Lesson 2-3The next two lessons you can expect to increase your confidence by learning how to paddle out through the waves, refining your pop up and paddle if needed. Still in the whitewater, this the safest and most beginner friendly zone.
Advanced training plan
What you need to bringBring a small bag with towel, bathing suit, sunscreen, and water.

What I can bringEquipment is additional $30 per person. I’ll need the height and weight for each participant to get the best board and wetsuit possible to ensure a great experienced.
