About Michael

Aloha friends! I’m Mikey and I’m just a dude that has been surfing for 30 years now. I started as a teen to be cool and win over the cute girls but I quickly became obsessed! Surfing is my life and I’m a surfer. I love to share the stoke of surfing! It’s the most exhilarating and rewarding sport. Actually, I would call surfing a lifestyle. I hope to meet y’all and teach you how to catch a bunch of waves and to appreciate the beauty of the ocean. Y’all will also learn to respect the power of ocean so I keep it safe and most importantly super fun! See ya out in the water and stay stoked!

What students say...

"Mikey’s the best! He’s patient, encouraging, and brings a great attitude to the learning process. He gives concrete specific feedback to improve each session. I’ve had a few surf instructors and he’s definitely one of the best! Highly recommend!
