keep learning, progressing and discovering your unique rhythm with the ocean

Whether you're learning your first waves, working through a plateau, chasing bigger goals, or preparing to compete, I believe there is always another level to discover.
I've been surfing for more than 38 years and coaching since the 1990s. I've competed, coached competitive surfers, and spent decades learning what it takes to progress in the water.
I love working with surfers who are curious, motivated and ready to improve.
Wherever you are in your surfing, I'll help you discover what's next.
Who I Coach-
Women are at the heart of my coaching community.
Maybe you're learning to surf later in life. Maybe you've been surfing for years but want to feel more confident. Maybe you're ready to paddle out in conditions that used to intimidate you.
Or maybe you simply love surfing and want someone experienced to help you keep progressing.
You don't need to prove anything.
You don't need to surf like anyone else.
You just need to want to keep learning.
I also work with male surfers and young athletes who connect with my coaching style and approach.
Build a strong foundation, learn to understand the ocean, and develop confidence from the start.
Break through plateaus, refine your technique, improve your wave selection and develop greater confidence and flow.
Take your surfing further with focused technical coaching, video analysis, ocean strategy, conditioning, mindset and competition preparation.
Develop the skills and awareness needed to perform under pressure, read a heat, make decisions and surf to your strengths.

Surfing is physical—but it's never only physical.
Your body, breath, thoughts, emotions and ability to read the ocean all influence what happens when you paddle into a wave.
My Mindful Surf Method™ brings these pieces together.
BODY — movement, balance, strength, technique and efficiency.
BREATH — staying present and managing tension when conditions become challenging.
MIND — awareness, focus, confidence, fear and decision-making.
OCEAN — waves, currents, tides, conditions, positioning and safety.
ACTION — taking what you learn and putting it into the water.
It's about becoming more aware so you can respond better.

I've spent most of my life surfing—learning from different waves, people, seasons and experiences in the ocean. I've also spent years studying movement, health, fitness, kung fu, yoga, breath and mindfulness.
That combination shapes how I coach.
I compete at a high level, coach competitive surfers, work with young athletes and coach surfers at every stage of their journey. I have been learning from the water and surfers my entire life.
My background in holistic health has also shaped the way I coach. I pay attention not only to what you're doing on the board, but to how your body moves, how you breathe, how you respond under pressure and what may be getting in the way of your progression.
But most importantly, I believe good coaching starts with getting to know the person I'm working with.
Your surfing is unique. Your coaching should be too.

I don't believe there is one right way to surf—or one formula for improvement.
Every surfer is different.
Your body is different.
Your experience is different.
Your goals are different.
So your coaching should be, too.
Some sessions may focus heavily on technique.
Others might be about reading waves, building confidence, improving fitness, understanding positioning or preparing for competition.
Sometimes the biggest breakthrough comes from changing something very small.
I'll help you find it.

A different wave
A different line
A different way of moving
A different way of responding
That's what I love about surfing
There is no finish line
And wherever you are in your journey, I'd love to help you discover what's next.
