My name is Russell, I have lived in Pensacola for almost 8 years now. I have always been a water baby and surfed when I was younger in the Jacksonville & Daytona area. I moved to Atlanta for some years and enjoyed the fresh water lakes while I was there. I moved back to the gulf in 2009 and rekindled my love of surfing, windsurfing & paddle boarding , since then I spend all my free time on the water. Surfing can be extreme or it can be mellow, laid back, super satisfying and at the same time a great workout that gives you a connection to the water like nothing else. To me there is nothing better than sipping coffee on the beach watching the sunrise and catching the early morning surf or catching the amazing sunsets while surfing a set. If you have never surfed, you should try it ! Wind Surfing is such a cool water sport. It surfing with a sail, it's paddle boarding without a paddle, it's sailing at it's finest. You can rig for high wind and get amazing bursts of speed or you can rig for cruising that's super fun, challenging but not extreme. I love to wind surf the bays and just cruise around, I have stopped in the middle of the bay and watched sea turtles , dolphins & rays surface and swim by, it's an amazing connection to nature and yourself, if you have not tried wind surfing, you should..... it's awesome ! I have decided to share my passion for the salt life with you. I love to teach, I love the beach & the bays. I invite you to come learn to surf, windsurf or paddle board with me. I will teach you personally with your safety as a primary concern and make sure you have a great experience.
