Went I first stood up on a surfboard and road a wave all the way to beach it was the most exciting thing in my life at that time. I was so exhiharated, and happy that words could not explain it at 10 years of age in Venice beach. I get to revisit that bliss with every lesson when a student stands up for the first time. Teaching surfing is my passion, and The Hermosa Surfers Walk of Fame awarded my long detication to surfing in 2018.

    My grandchildren learned so much about surfing from Kip, being in the ocean & learning to recognize the wave sets for safety, the currents and rip tides. Kip taught them respect for ocean sea life while teaching them how to surf and have fun. Each day, the children developed more knowledge & confidence about being in the ocean waves and using a surf board. They couldnt wait to get to each surf lesson with Kip at Freespiritsurfla.

    Kip is a very experienced surfer and lifeguard so I felt very safe with him teaching my boys how to surf.
    He explains things so well and gets the kids excited about surfing.
    He even got my very fearful son in the water and surfing on the first try!
    You will not be disappointed in booking a lesson with Kip!
