“The lesson with Russ had a great coaching vibe and really good energy. I felt supported throughout! If you're into surfing and want a relaxed, practical approach, you will want to give Russ a try.”Ranjing L., student

About RussRaised on the shores of Oahu, Hawaii, my journey began with the rhythm of the waves at the age of 10, sparking a lifelong passion for surfing. Alongside carving waves, I immersed myself in college and high school football, basketball, and track, finding joy in the thrill of competition. As a competitor in the Hawaii Amateur Surfing Association for 5 years, I honed my skills in the ocean's embrace. Complementing my active lifestyle, I prioritize breathwork, stretching, and a healthy diet to nourish both body and soul. Transitioning into coaching, I've shared my love for sports with the next generation through coaching high school and pop warner football, as well as youth basketball. As an Oahu Professional Photographer, I've captured the beauty of surfing, sports, weddings, and family portraits, preserving cherished memories for clients. For the past decade, I've surfed the waves of San Francisco, delighting in small to medium fun perfect waves and discovering local gems based on conditions. Currently, I'm homeschooling my 8-year-old daughter, embracing the opportunity to instill a love for learning and adventure.Go to profile

That lesson with Matthew was quite good, honestly. I liked starting to gain confidence getting swept under and not looking for the board, which was pretty helpful. Still, I think I could gain more confidence to swim out there and catch more waves, but I feel like I’m on the right track. The laid-back approach made everything feel natural, and I appreciated the focus on building that core confidence. If you’re into steady lessons that really help you get comfortable, I’d suggest giving Matthew a try.

I think the lesson was quite helpful, especially in understanding wave face trimming, which I hadn't really focused on before. Though I still need to work on standing up more smoothly, I feel like I made some good progress. Matthew's guidance really made me pay attention to specific details, and I look forward to building on that next time. Hopefully, I'll get more confident with those little technical adjustments. Still, I’d suggest trying him out if you're looking to refine your skills gradually.

Getting past the break on heavy days really pushed me, and I think that mental barrier is key in progressing even if it’s not always fun right away. Matthew’s guidance made a difference there, and I’d say a lesson focusing on more take offs would be helpful. Still, I feel like I’m making real strides, and maybe with more practice, I’ll get even better at catching waves. It’s definitely worth trying if you’re set on improving your surf skills.

Getting through the lineup felt pretty manageable today, and I managed to catch a few waves that actually felt good still, I think I’m starting to get the hang of it. Matthew's approach is quite steady, which helps build confidence without feeling rushed. It's nice to see progress with someone who keeps things relaxed but focused. If you're looking to improve your surfing and enjoy the process, I’d suggest giving Matthew a try.

Honestly, I found the lesson to be quite helpful, especially with the focus on proper paddle positioning and timing, which made a noticeable difference. Though I still need to work on catching waves more consistently, I appreciated the calm, precise advice Matthew offers, and I’d say it was a pretty good experience overall. If you’re looking to refine your surfing skills, it’s worth giving it a try.
