I had great experiences taking surf instructions from Ignacio.Ā He is patient, knowledgeable, and friendly. On the beach, Ignacio explained the surf conditions and what to look for in the water.Ā Once in the water, he made sure I went for the best waves and provided helpful feedback on what I did right or could do better. Ignacio takes the time to understand the level at which you are surfing and nudges you comfortably to the next one.Ā As a bonus, Ignacio is a top-notch surfer who has surfedĀ most of the breaks in the SF Bay area.Ā I can't recommend him enough.
