Riding a natural element is a feeling like no other, and I'm passionate about sharing that joy with others. As an avid surfer with 20 years of experience riding the ocean, I've honed my skills as an amateur surfer and love guiding others as they progress. I'm dedicated to creating a fun, supportive learning environment where you can confidently build your wave riding skills and hopefully deepen your connection with the ocean.

"1 session in and I already feel more comfortable in the water. Parker provided such a calm and safe presence throughout our session. His knowledge and skill was evident, he looks just as comfortable in the water as he does on land! He was also so patient and encouraging. I will happily be continuing my sessions with him.

"We booked this experience last minute (day before on a whim, and we couldn't have asked for it to be any better! David was absolutely fantastic and had both our kids (ages 5 and 9) comfortable on a surf board very quickly. They were both able to stand up and surf (not every time, but both at least once!) and just really had a blast trying it out. Communication and scheduling was quick and easy. I would absolutely recommend trying a lesson!

Hey! My name is Cole! Im an avid surfer who grew up in Dana Point, Ca, surfing since i was 7 years old. I grew up around the sport. I started surfing because of my Grandpa. He was a big wave surfer who often surfed Waimea Bay and Sunset Beach on the north shore. I’ve had the privilege to surf around the world as well as for the Pepperdine university surf team when i attended there. Ive taught surf lessons for 6 years now and am happy to say that every person Ive taught has stood up. Your next!

I’ve been surfing since I was 5 years old and have traveled all over the world surfing since I was a kid. I grew up in Florida competing in NSSA contests and later went pro before tearing my ACL. Today, I surf purely for the love of it. I’ve taught many surfers over the years and truly enjoy helping people learn, build confidence, and advance their skills in the water.

Hey! I’m Myles, a surf coach who loves helping kids build confidence and have fun in the water. I got my start teaching at Summer of Surf Camp, where I worked with young surfers learning everything from standing up on their first wave to mastering balance and ocean safety. Since then, I’ve also helped friends and family learn to surf, and I’ve seen firsthand how rewarding it is to watch someone catch their first wave. My goal as a coach is to make surfing exciting, safe, and empowering for every kid—whether it’s their very first lesson or they’re ready to take their skills to the next level. 🌞🌴
