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.
"Had a lot of fun in learning surfing, I might do more when I get back to China. Have a blast in ur birthday party!

Professional surf since age of 12. I have taught every walk of life and every type of athlete. I will never ask you to do something I won’t do with you.
"That was the coach I’ve been looking for. Jake Was able to articulate and communicate how and what to do in the ocean that made perfect since. He was able to relate surfing to my previous experiences to give surfing a more familiar feeling.

"We booked this experience last minute (day before on a whim, and we couldn't have asked for it to be any better! David was absolutely fantastic and had both our kids (ages 5 and 9) comfortable on a surf board very quickly. They were both able to stand up and surf (not every time, but both at least once!) and just really had a blast trying it out. Communication and scheduling was quick and easy. I would absolutely recommend trying a lesson!
