With a surfboard in hand since childhood, I bring 15 years of experience to my coaching. My passion lies in helping others discover the joy of riding waves, building confidence and technique from beginner to intermediate. I tailor each lesson to individual needs. I also do a lot of one-on-one sessions externally in person if that’s ever something you’re into. I’d love to be a part of your progress.

Unlocking your surfing potential is my passion. As a former professional snowboarder transitioned to surf fanatic. I know just how rewarding catching your first wave is! These lessons will pass down into the rest of life as well. Truly a magical thing to learn in the most fun way possible! Let’s learn to surf together!

To teach is to share a way of seeing the world. A connection with nature. A connection with flow. A connection with the quiet part of ourselves that only reveals itself when we dare to step beyond what feels familiar. Every wave invites us into transformation. With every challenge, we learn to turn uncertainty into trust, effort into grace, and movement into presence. Surfing is more than a sport. It is a conversation with the ocean, a practice of humility, patience, and freedom.
