We are wave riding and ocean teachers.
Stepping out of the conventional to integrate the wild elements inherent in riding waves changes lives for the better. We love being salty and walking barefoot on the sand, maintaining a constant connection with body and soul, and being part of a tribe, developing community everywhere we go. Our belief stems from the universal wisdom held by the ocean’s water and waves, wisdom that, as it is being learned and shared, will put you in direct connection with yourself. Our job is not to tell you how to surf or integrate the ocean’s energy into your lifestyle, but to open the door for you to be able to understand and navigate the ocean on your own so that you can discover your own frequency on the waves. We would love you to spend more time playing and riding waves among a community. We would love you to get wet and salty, stronger, ocean wiser and wilder.

Here is what people has to say about our head teacher, Herbert Miron
Herbert is a master. His approach to teaching is based on playful respect of the ocean. His philosophies are if you can be playful with the ocean and join her rhythms, you are in a much safer position in the ocean. Fear prevents you from being in the moment and in order to be safe in the ocean you need to be in the moment. Herberts approach to teaching and water saffety is based on those principles. His program was not only fantasic for me, it was also for my children. Since we live by the ocean, as a mother, I really wanted my children to develop the necessary skills to enjoy the ocean safely. Herbert created an individualized ocean swimming course for them and they learned about the tides, the swells and had fun all at the same time. Herbert is the best and literally a life saver.

I highly recommend a series of surf lessons with Herbert!! His calm insightful teachings allowed me to progress beyond what I thought possible in a few sessions. He was able to wake up my senses and teach me to be more aware and connected to the ocean. He taught me to assess and work with changing conditions at different regional breaks. I learned to read small surf to catch more waves and how to be safe in large powerful surf. His love of the ocean is contagious and has re-ingnited my stoke for surfing!

My experience with Herbert was without a doubt one of the best decisions and investments I have made for myself. After trying several 1 hour surf lessons in the past, I was still struggling to catch a wave and was getting to the point of frustration and walking away. When I met with Herbert and committed to 10 sessions in order to really help me get where I wanted to be, I immediately felt comfortable with his style of teaching and his easy going personality. We started in the swimming pool learning how to paddle, sit on the board, turn around, and progressed quickly from there. The 10 sessions are not your average 60 minute lessons, where a surf coach pushes you onto a wave and says “great job” every attempt. Instead, Herbert really takes his time (sometimes going 2+ hours) in order to educate you on ocean safety, the types of waves you want to catch, your paddle and pop-up form, and even takes still photos and videos of you to review later that day. The professional, yet fun and positive approach Herbert brings to his teaching style, truly separates him from other surf instructors. I HIGHLY recommend Herbert and his surf program to anyone who wants to become a more educated and well rounded surfer.

Learning to surf had been a life long goal but I had a lot of fear. Surfing represented a way to change my relationship to the ocean and to fear itself. I could not have dreamed up a better coach than Herbert, whose own philosophy included going beyond the act of surfing. Herbert is a gifted teacher with a calming presence, and has deep knowledge and respect for the dynamic forces of the ocean. He helped me transform my relationship to fear, and in turn, towards life. We spent time in the ocean without the board, without any mediation between the body and the force of the waves, and learned to feel, as directly as possible, the force of the ocean. This was a profound experience, which laid the foundation for getting on the board and riding waves in. He is an excellent teacher of concrete skills and strategies to surf well and safely, but he also understands how to make the most of being in, and with, the ocean. It feels impossible not to have a kind of spiritual experience when you have a guide that expands your awareness and receptivity so much - which of course makes the surfing all the more awesome.
