He has passed his love of the ocean to many thousands of students and remains dedicated to producing responsible, competent watermen and women.

CAMP OVERVIEW:

The Surf School presents an exciting curriculum focusing on water safety, ocean awareness, and surfing fundamentals. The camp venue in Virginia Beach provides a safe, user-friendly atmosphere that is ideal for beginner and intermediate surfers. The Surf School’s proven methods allow students to learn at their own pace, building confidence and proficiency at each level. Campers spend the week in small peer groups where they progress from paddling, to standing up, to riding the line, and beyond. The experienced, CPR-certified staff ensures ample individual instruction. Learning to enjoy the “Sport of Hawaiian Kings” has never been so easy.
