I’m an experienced surfer from Encinitas who wants to share the epic experience of surfing with you. I teach lessons for beginners to intermediate surfers. My goal is that you are having fun, feel confident, and fully embrace the unique experience that surfing is. By the end of the lesson you will have surfed some of your first waves as well as gained a greater knowledge of the ocean.

Surfing can be the most incredible experiences. Surfing takes practice, patience, and will leave you with a better appreciation for the ocean. You will meet me down at the beach where I will have the surfboard, leash, and a wetsuit to keep you nice and warm! After going over safety precautions and etiquette about being a beginner surfer, we will begin teaching you proper paddling technique, the pop-up, as well as how to reach the lineup. Once we have gone over the basics on the beach and we practice a couple times on the sand, we are ready to hit the water! I will be with you the entire time, not surfing like so many other instructors do these days. I want your time to be spent truly learning how to surf and not just struggling while I get paid to have fun! I begin my lessons helping new students get into waves to practice their pop-up, giving critique when needed. After a few good practice waves, I usually start "helping" less and less, not pushing you into waves as hard.

Parasailing is unique among water activities because it combines the thrill of flying with the scenic views of being over water. Unlike traditional water sports that focus on speed or physical exertion, parasailing allows participants to experience a sense of weightlessness and tranquility while being towed behind a boat. The panoramic perspective and the elevation above the water provide a distinct experience, making it both exhilarating and peaceful at the same time. Additionally, it often requires less physical effort, making it accessible to a wider range of participants.

We offer the limited addition Jerry Lopez model beginner wave storm surfboard. The surfboard board is 8ft tall and made of soft foam material. Great for beginners.
