Surfing is a way of life for me and I am grateful to share the joy that it brings me with others.

I love introducing others to the sport that has become such an important part of my life. Over the last 14 years, I have managed large surf schools with upwards of 50 students on the beach, taught at accredited surf schools around the world and volunteered for various non-profit surf therapy organizations.

I pride myself in tailoring my lessons to my student’s unique skill level. My aim is to help my students grasp the technical skills that come with learning surfing, while actively working to expand their comfort zone and awareness in the water. Safety is always my #1 priority, and I am proud to say that I have never had any major injury occur during my 14 years of teaching.
