"Jeff was wonderful! He gave me some background info, checked for my comfort level and was constantly encouraging and amiable. He was so gracious and kind and I made progress in just one lesson. Highly recommend!
I was born and raised in Kauai, Hawaii, where surfing was my life. I caught my first wave at the age of six, and I've been chasing that feeling for the 25 years. Surfing has taken me on countless adventures, from epic surf trips to thrilling competitions. Despite my early reluctance, I eventually found my calling as a surf instructor, dedicating myself to mastering the art of teaching surfing. Now, I'm passionate about sharing my knowledge and love for the waves with others, guiding them on their own journey of wave riding and self-discovery.
"Stood up on the third try. Daniel helped get me into the waves in the whitewater and I was able to catch a couple by myself in the end. We didn't venture out further than the whitewater, but I definitely need more practice. Great pace and awareness.
I've been surfing for about 10 years, having competed in the shortboard division on my high school surf team. I primarily ride short boards, ranging from thrusters to twin fins, but I also have experience with longboarding and other alternative shapes. As an avid surfer, I hit the waves daily whenever conditions are good. Over the past 5 years, I've enjoyed teaching many friends how to surf and sharing my passion and knowledge of the sport.
