Daniel was super helpful and we felt very safe during our lesson. He had such great energy which made the class very enjoyable. He gave us feedback on how to improve and how to confidently surf. It was such a good experience!

💰$75 weekly lessons

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.
