With 26 years surfing the local beaches, 15 years lifeguarding in LA County, and 15 years teaching surfing, Jim's vast knowledge of the local conditions has been passed on to all of his students.

Jim passed on his teaching techniques to instructors who are experienced surfers, lifeguards, teachers, and waterman in their own right.

Our crew includes long-time friend and former owner of Peninsula Surf Shop, Chris Brown, top competitive longboarder, Tommy Ostendorf and Mark Gerold who have six years teaching with us, as well as a number of Brazilian and local instructors who bring their surf culture and stoke to our students.

All of our lessons emphasize safety and fun, but we also take the next step and teach our students to view the ocean with a surfer's eye so they can safely and confidently ride the waves on their own as soon as they're ready...
