"Alayna gave me the confidence I needed. I have not surfed in years and even though the waves were the larger than I have surfed before, Alayna called out which one’s were surfable for my skill level and rode the longest wave I have ever had. Thanks Alayna. I’ll be signing up for more lessons this week and look dorward to working with you again next summer.
I've been surfing for about 13 years and previously competed in the shortboard division on my high school surf team. I primarily ride short boards, ranging from thrusters to twin fins, but I also have experience with longboarding and other alternative shapes. As an avid surfer, I hit the waves daily whenever conditions are good. Over the past 5 years, I've enjoyed teaching many friends how to surf and sharing my passion and knowledge of the sport.
"Fantastic first lesson! My son left happy and confident and excited. We will be continuing weekly as he builds his surfing skills in the future.
Greetings, I’m a lifelong surfer with a passion for sharing the exhilarating world of surfing with others. With many years of teaching experience, my love for the ocean is as profound as my joy in introducing others to the thrill of surfing. In my lessons we start by unraveling the mysteries of ocean currents and wave patterns and practice some pop-ups on the beach. We then head into the water where I guide you in catching your first waves, while focusing on water safety and surf etiquette. Let’s embrace the surf together and help you ride your first waves with confidence! For those with some surfing experience I tailor the lessons to meet your goals of progressing your skills in the surf.
"I appreciated his easygoing nature and consistent encouragement throughout the session! Made surfing feel much more approachable :)
Riding waves isn't just a sport, it's a lifestyle I've passionately embraced for 30 years, including my time as a pro surfer. I blend technical expertise with an engaging teaching style, ensuring every student discovers the joy and skill of surfing. Let's catch some waves!
"Fernando is the real deal and a very thoughtful person. Two years in a row he has been a fantastic surfing instructor for us, The memories of me and my son living the 'surfer life' in California, if but for just a day, I will treasure forever. Fernando goes above and beyond. A pleasure to know him. Hopefully we will see him again next year during our visit. Don't even hesitate, book a session with Fernando!
