COACH DAN FENNELL
My name is Dan Fennell and I live in Ladera Ranch with my wife and 3 children. I started surfing in 1984 when I was 5 years old with my Dad and have been surfing and paddling ever since (34 Years). I began teaching surf lessons when I was 17 at a surf school and have been teaching ever since. I love giving lessons and passing along everything my Dad and others have passed down to me.
What Our Surfers Say

Dan taught me everything I needed to know about surfing. I stood up on my first wave and rode it to the sand! What a rush.
Todd

Surfing is SOOOO FUN!!!! Wow I thought it was going to be so difficult. Dan made it so easy! He really helped me feel comfortable in the ocean.
