Best 6 coaches for lessons near Flagler Beach, FL

I'm passionate about sharing my love for the exciting world of pickleball! With a year of coaching under my belt, I empower players of all levels to refine their skills and reach their full potential on the court. Let's have some fun while elevating your game!

My approach to coaching is built on the belief that technical precision and strategic intelligence are the two pillars of a winning game. Whether you are picking up a paddle for the first time or looking to dominate the local tournament circuit, my goal is to help you play smarter, not just harder. I focus on three core areas to elevate your play: 1. Foundation & Mechanics Every great shot starts with balance and footwork. I emphasize clean, repeatable mechanics—ensuring your dinks, drives, and drops are mechanically sound to minimize unforced errors and maximize consistency. 2. High-Level Strategy Pickleball is often described as "chess at 60 mph." We won't just work on hitting the ball; we’ll work on intent. I teach players how to read the court, understand positioning, and master the "soft game" to systematically break down opponents. 3. Adaptive Learning No two players are the same. I tailor my coaching to your specific physical strengths and goals. By combining a deep technical understanding of the game with actionable, real-time feedback, I ensure that every session translates directly to your performance on the court.

I was a first responder EMT, firefighter, and beach guard in St. Johns County, Saint Augustine, where I fell in love with surfing. While I don’t consider myself a pro, I would say I’m an intermediate surfer. I’ve taught many surfing lessons and truly wish it could be my full-time job. I’m also open to relocating for the right opportunity.

With over 20 years of surfing experience, Boris has spent most of his life chasing waves across the Americas — from the powerful beach breaks of Puerto Escondido to the mellow reefs of San Diego and the playful peaks of Florida’s coast. His teaching style blends technical insight with a calm, encouraging energy that helps students connect with the ocean rather than fight it. Boris specializes in helping beginners build confidence and intermediate surfers refine their flow, timing, and positioning. He emphasizes fundamentals — reading waves, paddling efficiency, and ocean awareness — while keeping every session fun and relaxed. When he’s not teaching, you’ll find Boris in the water working on his own surfing, training for marathons, or spending time with his wife and four kids exploring Florida’s coastline. His goal in every lesson is simple: to share the joy, rhythm, and presence that surfing brings to life.

From competitor to coach, I've spent over a decade immersed in the world of tennis, even reaching the pro level myself. My passion now lies in helping aspiring players of all ages unlock their potential on the court. With 5 years of coaching experience, I combine technical expertise with a supportive and engaging approach to make learning both effective and enjoyable.
