About your surfing coach

My name is Jonathan I am from Costa Rica and I have been surfing for 19 years and coaching for the past 7 years full time I have as much fun surfing as watching someone catch their first wave. I found my passion in sharing with others the fun,presence and health that surfing brought to my life I have thought in Costa Rica, Mexico and now here in California. I love open water swimming, surfing, bodyboarding, bodysurfing anything that puts me in the water and I hope I can share some of my knowledge and good vibes with you. THE CLASS First thing when we meet we have to get ready in order to get in to the ocean, we get our wetsuit on, grab our board on hand (all equipment is provided) and we head down to the sand first, where we will have a small class on land 30 to 40min , we will learn about our equipment, do a little warm up and the basic techniques required in order to stand up on your board and ride your first waves, after we head down to the water and let the fun begin, we will be in the water together the entire time helping you and making little corrections so you can catch as many waves as possible in the time we are together. PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTION Your safety is my highest priority, classes are conducted by myself. For groups exceeding 5-6 participants, a second instructor will assist in the water to reinforce safety measures.
