I 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!

When teaching kids, I adapt my lessons to be fun and engaging, using games and activities that make learning enjoyable. I focus on building a strong foundation in the basics while incorporating age-appropriate drills and exercises that keep their interest and energy levels high. Patience and encouragement are key, as I strive to create a positive and supportive environment where young students feel confident and excited to learn.

When I teach kids, my main goal is to make sure they’re having fun and feeling safe. I try and turn learning into a game so they feel engaged. I keep instructions short and simple so they can get right in the water and work on one thing at a time. When working with kids I stick to gentle waves and stay close by and cheer them on for every little success. We start small and build up at their pace, so they feel confident in the ocean and excited and ready for more each time.
