Dustin has been coaching people how to surf since 1998. With over 18 years of experience he has fined tuned his technique.
“I watch what my students are doing with a very close eye, and an open mind when teaching them to surf. Everybody is different in the way they learn. You can’t teach everybody the SAME EXACT way. So I take that and apply it to my surf coaching. Some people may get up right away, but it takes a long time to teach them to do a turn on the wave. Some people may take a long time to get to their feet, but then they pick up the turning and trimming much easier. It is such a pleasure to be a part of the learning process with so many unique people. I truly love doing what I do for a living”.
