WHO WE ARE

Women-led. Passion-driven. Detail-obsessed.

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.

OUR PHYLOSOPHY

Surf coaching beyond just catching waves.

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.
