“James is amazing. I personally had a lesson with him and he made me feel comfortable and I was able to get up on the board my first time. My kids have been taking lessons with James for the last three summers. He’s so patient and kind and the kids love him. I recommend James and Serene Waters Surf Adventures to anyone who wants to have an amazing experience.."

About 
The Owner

Meet James 

I have been surfing since age 7 and have also been instructing since 2014. I love the ocean and enjoy getting to help people of all ages, and skill levels. I am certified in CPR/ first aid & surf instructor safety training. Surfing is not just a sport. The ocean is for healing, fun, and recreation. Salt water is medicine.

 

I grew up in Southern California, and have surfed breaks from San Diego to San Fransisco. My favorite break in California is San Onofre-Old Mans a.k.a."Log Heaven." I have also been blessed to surf around the world in Mexico, Fiji, Australia, Hawaii, Costa Rica, and my personal favorite Nicaragua.

 

Outside of the water I enjoy being a Father, Fiancé, Dog Dad, Mentor, & Substance Abuse Counselor. I have also developed a separate surf therapy program (Serene Waters Adventure Therapy)  for people recovering from substance use disorders, & other mental health disorders. The program incorporates, surfing, mindfulness, empowerment, & connection. I can't wait to meet you. Surfing is for everyone. Let's go surf!
