I was born and raised in Brighton England, and now a long time resident of Santa Cruz. I am a proud father, surf instructor, coach and writer. After surfing for 20 years, I never expected to find a sport that would surpass my love for surfing. I first stood on a Stand Up Paddle Board four years ago when the sport came to Santa Cruz. Since that time I have rarely been on a surf board, preferring to combine my surf session with a total body workout and surf on my Stand Up Paddle Board, no matter how small or large the waves.

For five years I have been teaching the worlds fastest growing water sport for a good reason… itʼs fun!! fun to teach and leaves every student with a huge grin on their face. Each stroke of the paddle will engage your body to balance, stretch, and strengthen with this amazing core aerobic workout, all the while giving you the feeling of walking on water, whether in the ocean, river or lake.
