About Parker

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.

What students say...

"1 session in and I already feel more comfortable in the water. Parker provided such a calm and safe presence throughout our session. His knowledge and skill was evident, he looks just as comfortable in the water as he does on land! He was also so patient and encouraging. I will happily be continuing my sessions with him.
