About Us
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.

SURF LESSONS
What To Expect
After a short safety assessment and beach instruction, I will teach you how to stand up and ride a wave, how to read and select waves, paddling techniques, how to best control your board and most importantly OCEAN SAFETY. My lessons are for all ages, all levels, kids, adults and families. Surfing is meant to be fun so I keep it simple with only 2 rules.
1. Safety First
2. Have fun
I am CPR and First Aid trained.
* All Surfboards / Wetsuits for Surf lessons are included.
STAND UP PADDLE LESSONS
What To Expect
Stand Up Paddling is the fastest growing sport in the world and is a great low-impact total-body workout. Every muscle from your fingers to your toes will be used during the 90 minute lesson. I like to teach in the Dana Point Harbor. Your lesson will focus on how to start from the beach, proper paddling technique, balance and foot placement. Within a lesson or two you’ll be paddling like you’ve been doing it for years!
