SUP Surfing
Learn SUP Surfing on the beautiful Washington Coast!
The Washington coast has epic waves and many spots to work with from the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the outer coast.
My SUP surfing lessons are personalized and private and are available as 1-1 or for two people. The lesson will prepare you to surf the coast on your own.
Beginners will learn on small easy waves. Also open to those wanting to learn to surf 14′ boards.
Immediate surfers have the possibility of starting on larger waves and learning at more technical breaks.
Bring your own gear or rent mine at no cost. This is a personalized lesson set to your goals and schedule.

“Rob’s knowledge of surfing, safety, and his overall SUP skills helped me advance through coaching and immediate feedback boosting my confidence and ability level. I’m hooked on SUPing! I would have locked in poor habits and likely injured my back or shoulders had I not taken a lesson in my first season of regularly paddling. Rob has years of experience and gladly passes on what he has learned for the safety and fun of all SUP enthusiasts who meet him.”
Excellent experience! Rob is not only extremely knowledgeable about the technical aspects of SUP, but also many other factors that will enhance your experience. Among these, safety on the water, PNW places to explore, history and culture of the sport, a laundry list of tips on how to enjoy the SUP lifestyle year round and a solid under standing of the natural elements (tides, swells, wind patterns, geological and hydrological features, etc).
He truly has a passion for the sport and demonstrates patience and expertise in his teaching. I recently took a SUP surfing class with him and in just 3 hours picked up a TON of things I can practice both in the surf and open water. I also had a lot of fun in during the lesson. Time spent with him will result in greater proficiency, more fun and a safe time on the water. Can’t recommend highly enough!
“I took the SUP Surfing class which not only got me surfing (which is the most fun ever!), but it gave me a new set of skills that keeps developing every time I get back in the water.”
