Nelson

I caught my first wave when I was 11 years old, after a tourist gifted me my very first surfboard — and I’ve been surfing ever since. It’s been almost 23 years in the water and 11 years of teaching, and surfing has become much more than a sport for me: it’s a way of life.

I’m a true shortboard lover, and I bring a calm, grounded energy into every lesson. When I’m not surfing, I love spending time with my family or going fishing — often on my recently bought bright pink and green panga.

At FLUIR, I share my experience with patience and care, helping students feel confident in the water while building a genuine connection with the ocean.
