One of the greatest pleasures in life is helping someone else learn something that would be meaningful in their lives. It is this pleasure that drives me to teach surfing more than anything else. I have been a coach in various capacities throughout my life and it seems to be the theme I return to. People learning to surf are having fun, learning a new skill, exercising, connecting with Mother Nature and are always so appreciative of being introduced to this experience.
After 14 years I have never tired of this work. It’s the longest I have ever been in one job so to speak. I love teaching people of all ages from 8 to 70. There is something in surfing for everyone. Some take to it naturally and some discover they need some more physical skills and strength. Even people that are fit say they need to get in better condition, or lose weight or watch some videos on how to get better.
I hope I have the pleasure of introducing you to the ocean and maybe discovering something about yourself you didn’t know.
