Surf Only Packages

Surf only coaching for surfers who want real progression, weekly rhythm, clear feedback, and structure. Sessions can be in water or video analysis, depending on conditions and what will move you forward fastest.

Cadence: Most clients progress best with 1 session per week. When swell and schedules align, you can choose an Accelerator pace of 2 sessions per week for a focused block.

These packages are simply how we structure commitment. The more sessions you commit to, the more we can refine, repeat, and build surfing that holds up across conditions.

Student Testimonials

“Ryan is efficient, professional, and an absolute pleasure to learn from! I am super stoked that I came across his services on social media because over the 4-5 months I've been working with Ryan, I've went from barely going down the line on my board to now practicing rail-to-rail turns. In addition to providing valuable in-depth review and mechanical tips in surfing, Ryan has also walked me through worthwhile life advice -- ways to think of the ocean, surfing, mental health, and how it all ties in together.

If you're looking for progression in both the water and in the mind, Ryan is your guy!”

— Justin H.

“I spent hours looking for the right Surf Coach and after hours and days of search, I came across Ryan on social media. I was looking for a coach that was very versatile and also able to teach beginners to advance surfers. before Ryan, I could not even stand on the board, but after a couple of sessions, I was able to start going down the line on my own. We practiced in water and then also reviewed the footage taken to see where I could improve.

His coaching made a huge impact on my surfing journey and I will definitely be using him again in the near future for when I need assistance on more advanced techniques!”

— Frank V.

“I am a beginning surfer and have had lessons with other coaches and I improved the most with Ryan by far. He is very attentive and has a natural ability to evaluate and communicate changes for you to make to really improve your skills. For instance once we got my pop up pretty solid, we moved on to reading the waves, maneuvering and positioning, and he constantly sprinkled in surf etiquette and the low down on SD surf spots. Which was very appreciated.

In addition he is organized, calm, friendly, and positive- which makes for great days of surfing. I highly recommend!”
