Under Construction Surf Club

A surf coaching community based in Los Angeles, CA.

This program is designed to help people who surf take full advantage of every session.

Growing up as a surfer in Los Angeles, it wasn't easy to get consistent reps. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to surf different beaches at contests every weekend in high school. Later, I had the chance to work with some of the best coaches in surfing—Ian Cairns, Chris Gallagher, and Kevyn Dean.

At 35 now, I look back at that time and recognize a massive learning leap. Surfing different waves certainly helps, but the real growth came from focusing on intentional surfing.

Most of us are recreational surfers who spend our valuable time invested in the ocean. As I’ve moved on from professional surfing, I’ve learned how to make the most of every session.

The Under Construction Surf Club Program is a living, breathing program that continues to grow. It’s designed to help you take full advantage of every session—even when our local surf breaks are places like El Porto, Venice, or Huntington Beach.

To expand each surf session, we need to understand:

How to move in the lineup. How to read the forecasts (swell period, swell height, swell direction). How to read the current conditions. How to increase your wave count. How to catch better waves. How to improve your technique. How to find your surf crew.

If this aligns with your surfing goals, this program is for you.
