Instructors
Geoffrey Lynch
Born and raised in Florida I moved here in 2008 and never looked back. Ecuador is a country full of adventure, history and beauty. Living here at my dream spot on a point that can feel like a surf park is the best move I have ever made. I live here with my wife Sara and sons Mateo and Logan. I spend my free time surfing, hunting for artifacts and creating art out of found objects. Come and enjoy paradise.
