Meet the Team
Every person in the Always Summer Surf School surfs. From the website builder to the phone operator to the instructor, we all surf.

Southern California citizen of the world. In 2010 his life changed. He realized a growing population is looking for comprehensive condensed surf training which would otherwise require decades of dedicated practice and study.
