Kerry was wonderful! This was my very first time trying to surf, and she made me feel very comfortable while out in the water. Her direction was very clear and she was so patient with me while I attempted to get the hang of it. Looking forward to more lessons with Kerry! Check her out!

Really appreciate Kerry’s guidance!! She’s very personal and kind, and down to get straight to learning, and she’s also patient if you need some time to slow down a bit (like I did). 10/10 would recommend!

Working with kidsI have taught my own children as well as many cousins and friends how to surf over the years. I’m a former preschool teacher and swim instructor as well as certified in CPR and ocean rescue. I have a very fun and relaxed approach with kids. My aim Is to help them fall in love with the ocean first, and the rest comes naturally!

Working with teenagersIn working with young adults, it’s a bit more about listening to their needs and learning what approach is best suited to them. I have quite a few very talented teen students and love their energy. It’s quite easy to pick up in these years. I learned when I was 17 and it has helped me through so many challenges, helped develop confidence and determination. I love assisting young people unlock the magic and power of the ocean.
