Surfing was on my bucket list for years, and I finally decided to try it at 65. Kenny was extremely patient, kind, and made me feel safe every step of the way. By the end of our lessons I was riding small waves on my own and grinning ear to ear. An unforgettable experience.

I was visiting from Tulsa and decided to book a surf lesson with Kenny. He broke everything down in a way that made it easy to pick up, even as a total beginner. Easily the highlight of my trip!

I’m not the strongest swimmer lol so I was nervous to try surfing, but Kenny’s energy and patience made it so much fun. I can’t wait to book another session!

Kenny’s coaching was clear, encouraging, and made learning to surf feel effortless. I left the lesson hooked, or as he would say “stoked”!

Beginner training plan

Your first lessonWe’ll start on the beach covering ocean safety, surf etiquette, and wave basics before moving into paddling technique, the pop-up, and proper stance. Once in the water, I’ll push you into small, safe waves so you can get your first wave and build confidence right away.

Lesson 11+At this stage, you’ll be confidently catching waves on your own, so the focus shifts to refining technique and exploring more challenging conditions. We’ll work on generating and maintaining speed, improving flow between maneuvers, and reading the lineup like a seasoned surfer. You’ll start practicing more advanced turns, better wave selection, and adapting to different breaks so you can surf with confidence anywhere.

How it works

Lesson 4-10These sessions focus on building speed, improving positioning, and linking basic maneuvers like bottom turns and cutbacks. You’ll learn to read the ocean more effectively, choose better waves, and surf with consistency and style, setting you up to handle more challenging conditions.

Lesson 2-3Once you’ve had your first taste of surfing, we’ll work on choosing the right waves, positioning yourself in the lineup, and paddling into waves without assistance. You’ll refine your pop-up, start turning with gentle weight shifts, and learn how to ride down the line with more control.

Advanced training plan

Your first lessonWe’ll start with a detailed evaluation of your surfing, either in real time or with pre recorded clips, so we can pinpoint your strengths and areas for improvement. From there we’ll set specific performance goals and begin working on high impact adjustments like shoulder alignment, stance refinement, and body positioning to unlock more power and flow.

Lesson 11+At this stage it’s about sharpening your skill set for competition or high level free surfing. We’ll combine in-water coaching with video analysis, advanced surf specific mobility training, and mental strategies to perform under pressure. The focus is on consistency, creativity, and executing your best surfing in any lineup.

Lesson 4-10We’ll take a deeper look into wave strategy, timing, and advanced body movements. Each session will be paired with ongoing video review to identify micro adjustments for maximizing speed, control, and style. You’ll refine maneuvers like roundhouses, snaps, and barrel riding while learning how to adapt them to different conditions and boards.

Lesson 2-3These sessions focus on translating our first lesson insights into tangible changes in the water. You’ll work on precision maneuvers, tighter turns, and more efficient transitions. We will introduce at-home mobility and strength exercises that directly support your surfing mechanics, helping you progress faster between sessions.

Youth players

Working with kidsFor younger surfers, the focus is on building comfort in the water and having fun while learning the basics. We’ll play simple balance and paddling games, catch small waves together, and celebrate every ride. Safety is always the top priority, and every session is designed to keep kids smiling while they gain skills and confidence.

Working with teenagersFor teenagers, lessons mix skill building with a fun, relaxed atmosphere. We’ll work on the fundamentals of paddling, pop ups, and wave selection while also encouraging self expression and style. Teens will learn at their own pace, with plenty of opportunities to try new maneuvers and enjoy the social side of surfing.

What you need to bringStudents are responsible for bringing or renting their own wetsuit. I can recommend local rental options if needed.

What I can bringFor beginners, I provide a stable, forgiving softtop surfboard to make learning easier and safer. For experienced surfers, I have an array of high-performance shortboards you can choose from.
