Meet Your Facilitators:

Zach

The Ambassador of Stoke! Zach grew up by the ocean, immersing himself in a variety of water activities, with surfing always taking center stage. His passion for sharing the joy of surfing ignited at age 14, when he worked as a surf camp instructor in South Florida. After high school, he took the leap to Hawaii, chasing the dream of riding some of the world’s best waves.

In Hawaii, Zach gained invaluable knowledge about respect for the ocean, respect for other surfers, awareness of currents and tides, positioning, wave selection, and much more. This deepened his understanding of how the ocean can profoundly impact our physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being. His admiration for surfing and adventure ultimately inspired him to create a retreat designed for any level of surfing, with one key focus: HAVING A GOOD TIME!

Zach genuinely values each individual's desire to progress and is dedicated to helping his peers and community succeed in whatever they aim to achieve. With certifications from BWRAG (Big Wave Risk Assessment Group) and CPR, he is committed to safety and excellence in the water. For Zach, sharing the thrill of surfing is not just a profession; it’s a pathway to happiness, joy, and connection with others.

Fernanda:

Fernanda grew up in a small town in Baja, Mexico, where she began surfing with her dad at a young age and spent summers camping along the Baja Peninsula. After years in the hospitality industry, her career as a surf instructor blossomed when she moved to Cabo and, a few years later, to the Gold Coast in Australia. Working with various surf associations, schools, and retreats, her passion for surfing and coaching led her to explore incredible destinations like Fiji, the Maldives, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua.

She considers the sea her happy place, a space where meaningful friendships flourish, and where one can truly be themselves. Fernanda is a firm believer that we can always learn something from the ocean. Fun-loving and full of energy, she ensures that whether it’s your first time on a board or you’re looking to level up, you’ll feel confident, supported, and excited to learn while having the best time!
