OUR STORY
Anita, a former Olympian surfer and national champion, has more than 20 years of coaching experience and a deep passion for helping surfers reach their potential.
Yasmine, who transitioned from a career in Investment Banking to follow her love for the ocean, experienced firsthand the challenges of learning to surf as an adult.
Together, we created the surf school we wished existed, one that combines expert coaching, proven methodology and a supportive environment to help every surfer progress with confidence and enjoy the journey.
OUR PHYLOSOPHY
We believe surf coaching should go beyond simply catching waves.
Our approach combines structured progression, personalized feedback and surf-specific training to help surfers build confidence, technique and independence in the water.
We created Venao Surf School to offer the kind of coaching experience we felt was missing for many adult surfers: personalized, supportive and progression-focused.
WHAT GUIDES EVERYTHING WE DO
WHO WE ARE
We’re a women-led team of surf coaches, ocean lovers and full-time wave chasers who care deeply about helping you become the surfer you want to be.
We combine high-level coaching, attention to detail and a relaxed beach lifestyle to create an experience that is both effective and unforgettable.
More than a surf school, we’re a place where progression, connection and the ocean come together.
