Instructor
Adriel Mendes
I am a Brazilian surfer living in San Diego with a lifelong passion for surfing. Specializing in longboarding, I offer personalized lessons for all skill levels, focusing on safety, technique, reading the waves, and having fun. As a co-founder of the Black Surfer Crew, I believe surfing is for everyone, and I love helping my students gain confidence, improve, and enjoy every moment in the water.
