"Derek is an amazing surf instructor! He's patient, knowledgeable, and really knows how to help his students improve their skills. I've been surfing for a few years, but I still learned a lot from him. He's also a really cool guy and makes the lessons a lot of fun.

Hey, I'm Luke! I grew up surfing Socal from Oside to Ventura, including Malibu recently, where I go to school at Pepperdine University. I specialize in taking advanced beginners and intermediate surfers to that next step. Going from whitewash to open faces, doing your first carves and snaps... whatever that next step in progression is, we'll get there together. I'll walk you through what you can specifically do and feel with your body to achieve your goals.
