Play Surfing at Balboa Pier

Riding a natural element is a feeling like no other, and I'm passionate about sharing that joy with others. As an avid surfer with 20 years of experience riding the ocean, I've honed my skills as an amateur surfer and love guiding others as they progress. I'm dedicated to creating a fun, supportive learning environment where you can confidently build your wave riding skills and hopefully deepen your connection with the ocean.

"Awesome instructor, wouldn’t hesitate to do again.

Hey! I’m Myles, a surf coach who loves helping kids build confidence and have fun in the water. I got my start teaching at Summer of Surf Camp, where I worked with young surfers learning everything from standing up on their first wave to mastering balance and ocean safety. Since then, I’ve also helped friends and family learn to surf, and I’ve seen firsthand how rewarding it is to watch someone catch their first wave. My goal as a coach is to make surfing exciting, safe, and empowering for every kid—whether it’s their very first lesson or they’re ready to take their skills to the next level. 🌞🌴
