Hi, I am Rian, professional surf guide and passionate surfer for more than 20 years. I love being in the ocean and sharing the joy and freedom I feel while surfing. Surfing is like meditation for me – it calms me down and challenges me at the same time. Teaching my students how to surf, to read the waves and enjoy the time in the water is one of my favorite things to do.
As an experienced surf guide for shortboard & longboard, I offer surf lessons for beginner students as well as for intermediate and advanced surfer based on different skill levels, interests and preferences. Creating joy riding waves and staying safe in the water are the most important things for me. I am curious to bring your surf skills to the next level, no matter if you started surfing or if you’re already comfortable in catching waves. Every surfing journey is unique and every day is a new chance to improve your surfing skills.
