“Alayna was so awesome, upbeat & encouraging! She’s an incredible teacher and made the session so fun. She really helped me build my confidence and had clear and motivating feedback throughout.

““My 10 year old had a blast in PB (San Diego) with Jake! He was up and riding the waves right away after getting a really solid lesson in surfing and mindfulness before he hit the water. Thanks you Jake!”Dr. D., parent · shared by JakeAbout JakeWith over five years of experience teaching beginner and intermediate surfers, I bring a holistic and deeply personal approach to every lesson. My teaching is rooted in mindfulness, breathwork, and the belief that surfing is not just a sport—it’s a pathway to growth, presence, and self-discovery. I’m passionate about helping others find confidence in the water, connection with the ocean, and a deeper understanding of themselves through surfing. For me, the lessons we learn on the board mirror the challenges and triumphs of everyday life, and I’m honored to guide others on that journey.Go to profileJake T.
“Jojo's patience really stood out today, and I managed to catch some waves, although, still working on my balance to stand up more consistently. The lesson felt quite laid-back, which helped me stay focused without pressure. Still, I left with a sense of progress and a better feel for the surf. If you’re trying to get a good grip on the basics, Johanna might be worth a shot to see what you can improve.”Jessica K., studentAbout JohannaHi, I’m JoJo a certified surf instructor with over 13 years of experience riding waves and coaching surfers of all ages and abilities.
