Personalized Surf Lessons | Proprietary Scientific Methodology

With over 30 years of experience in the surf industry, I have developed a proprietary methodology grounded in sports science to deliver efficient and safe surf instruction. Holding a Bachelor’s degree in Sports Science and Physical Education, I provide physical and technical coaching for all progression levels—from beginners to high-performance athletes. Additionally, I specialize in inclusive surfing, designing adaptive programs tailored for neurodivergent individuals and people with disabilities (PWDs).
