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.
David Ormeno
David is a local Ecuadorian who has been surfing up and down the coast for 30+years. He is an expert surfer, instructor and the most positive energetic person you have ever met.
