CUSTOMIZED SURF LESSONS FOR INTERMEDIATE to ADVANCED SURFERS
So you have taken a few surf lessons, got your own surfboard, paddled out a few times, and now what?
Whether you have surfed for years and have reached a plateau, are looking to improve your surfing skills, or want to learn advanced maneuvers,
I can help you take your surfing to the next level.
With 30 years of surf instruction experience, I have a deep understanding and ability to evaluate and observe where your skill level is at and what you need most to improve. From there, I clearly articulate the information into a simply applicable lesson plan for the highest impact results.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
All you need is your own equipment and a strong desire to improve your surfing.
