As Rabindranath Tagore said, "The meaning of our self is not to be found in its separateness from the ocean and others, but in the ceaseless realization of surfing, of union."
Meet Thiago Malena, local surf coach and founder of Saltwater Surf Adventures. With sessions at Stinson Beach and Bolinas, he helps surfers of all levels build confidence, flow with the ocean, and have a seriously good time doing it.
"Thiago is the kind of surf coach kids never forget. His energy is contagious, his connection with the kids is magical, and every session feels like the best day ever. Our kids talk about him nonstop and can't wait to surf with him again!"
