Learn To Rip Surf Lessons

Last weekend was amazing. I enjoy seeing all of my athletes dig deep and surf to their full potential. It’s very difficult to find 5th gear when the pressure is on, but when you do, it’s a sight to see. Congrats @titus_santucci for digging deep at the end of the heat and dropping two waves in the 8 range for the win in boys U16. @irene_navarro_tmamma

Thanks @usasurfing, @thecityofhuntingtonbeach and @huntington_beach_lifeguards for putting on such a great event this past weekend. Haven’t seen that level of talent compete in months!

This week has been pumping. I was wondering how my younger grom groups would fair in the sizable surf. Sure enough, they stepped up to the challenge and held their own. I was impressed.

So stoked to hang with @oceanbrown and @skybrown this week. I knew they could hang on a ramp and hit an air section at @bsrsurfresort, but could they draw some clean lines in the ocean? That was the question. I was impressed by their wave reading knowledge, technique and body mechanics. They are definitely ahead of the game. If you see them around town, give them a !

I wanted to give a huge congratulations to @lucas_owston @sowston and the @owstonfamily! Lucas you are an absolute legend and I’m so proud of you for not only taking the win, but combining the field. It’s been a blessing watching you grow as a competitor and as a young man. Thanks for the good times over the past years and I’m so excited for what the future holds. Once again, Congrats on becoming the 2020 @nssasurf Open Junior National Champion!!!

Congratulations to the winners of the LTR Fitness Challenge: @matthewmansell.11 and @scout.mitchell! We are so proud of everyone that participated in the challenge even if they only did a couple days or a few of the exercises. It’s hard for all of us to find the time with work, school and family commitments. It’s really important to set goals in life and work hard to achieve them - whether in surfing, fitness, education...thanks for joining us!

Fun little strike mission up the coast!

It’s especially rewarding to work with students that are ready to get to the next level. I love taking groms out the back and teaching them etiquette and positioning in the line-up. When Covid hit and surfing exploded even more, the line-ups became slammed with beginner surfers and those revisiting the sport. It’s seems that lots of people have learned to stand, go down the line, and even maneuver. One of the elementals that’s seems to have been lost in translation is etiquet...te, respect for locals, and taking turns. Just because you are first to your feet doesn’t mean it’s your wave. Just because you have a longer board and you can catch every wave doesn’t mean you should. I enjoy giving a wave away occasionally, hooting someone in, or even giving them the old power boost. Let’s share waves and respect each other in the line-up. If you see something shady going down out the back, speak up. Start a conversation. There are a lot of people that might not be educated about who has right of way. Share your knowledge. See more

Do you absolutely love this time of year? We do! Well, I guess we could use a little more swell. We are wishing you all an amazing thanksgiving with your families and we will see ya in a few days. We are thankful for your continued support. #prayforsurf

LTR Elite Training Camp week 10 is in the books! This was a fun last week with some amazing girls. Thank you to all the students and families that participated and lent a helping hand this summer! You are so greatly appreciated and we can’t wait to see you this fall during our coaching groups.

I am so proud of these little warriors. They fought hard mentally and physically to conquer today’s challenge. We did 100 push-ups, 100 bicycles, 60 sit-ups, 40 weighted squats, ran S. Jetty to N. Jetty and back with sprints incorporated. The entire workout was done in around 40mins. I love helping these kids dig deep within and achieve goals they never thought were possible.

@currenthebainer making these slow conditions look fun. He got to fine tune his new @chemistrysurfboards blade today. . . . #surfcamp #surfcoaching #surf #surfer #grom #surfgrom #oceanside #sandiego #oside #ltr #ltrsurf #surfschool #surfing

This was the afternoon crew from last week! They had a little catching up to do with the physical training as well, but came back strong during the tail end of the week. They also made some minor adjustments. More so on the technique side. Way to go boys and hope to catch a surf with ya soon. Thanks for bringing percent all week. Stay hard groms!

What an amazing week of camp! Rona got everyone including myself soft, but we took care of that. Everyone went hard in and out of the water. We made a few minor adjustments this week that will produce solid results in the future. Thanks for the solid effort crew! See you guys in the water soon.

Camp is coming to a close for this weeks sessions. The swell has held up just enough to get some work done. It’s been a solid week and the groms are going hard. Today was the last day before tomorrow’s comps. I was stoked to see some sick airs and some mean angles like this one above today. @titus_santucci

Keep sending love and prayers to @ethan_prezzo and his family. He’s making huge progress, but has a long way to go. I hope to surf and train with him again soon. God is answering prayers daily and this kid is a walking miracle.

Our first week of Elite Surf Coaching Summer Camp is coming to a close and we’ve had a blast! I’m proud of the effort the girls have put in this week. Here’s @remy_todd with a sick fin drift

The No Sky July can’t keep @titus_santucci down. Titus was out of the water for a bit, but has gotten his sea legs back.
