"Jeff was wonderful! He gave me some background info, checked for my comfort level and was constantly encouraging and amiable. He was so gracious and kind and I made progress in just one lesson. Highly recommend!

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.
