Surf Philosophy
You will benefit from my deep background as an all around athlete in high school and college. I was an all American water polo player and swimmer. After that I was a pro rated top triathlete. Living in Hawaii for years I competed in outrigger canoe paddling across the Hawaiian Islands.
High performance across multiple sports gives me a unique background of how the body works for peak performance. I have spent the last 8 years personally teaching hundreds of people to surf. You will meet many of them in the water during your lessons.
Specializing in
One-on-one Instruction
Surfing requires just a few principles that I can teach any active adult. Surfing well combines a number of fundamentals you and I can tackle one at a time until instinct and muscle memory take over. I want to work with you until surfing becomes a core enjoyment in your life like it is for me.
Testimonial
“I’ve had lessons from a dozen surf instructors and Rick has been the best by far. He’s not just super knowledgeable about the local surf breaks and technique, but he’s a great communicator that can help you get better. He had all of our first-timers up and surfing and those of us who could already surf were able to step it up a notch or two. 100% recommend Rick.”
