About Eli

Welcome! Born and raised in Laguna Beach, CA, Eli grew up surfing, competing, and traveling the world. He’s spent his life immersed in the surf culture, working within the surf industry, and spending summers teaching students of all ages how to surf. Eli continues to pursue his passion for surfing in the off season chasing big swells in Mexico, Nazare (Portugal), and working as a surf guide on a private island in Fiji called Tavarua. Possessing a lifetime of surf experience, beginner to intermediate or advanced, he’s able to coach any skill level.

We acknowledge everybody’s pace and safety is a priority. Multiple CPR certified instructors available if needed. Lessons held at multiple locations around Laguna depending on tide, swell, and crowd factor. Boards, wetsuits, and professional surf instruction!
