Contact Us and Meet the Team
We don’t just hire any surfer that thinks they can throw people into waves. All of our staff have years of surfing experience, but most importantly they are genuinely excited to take you out in the water to give you your first lesson. We want your surf lesson experience with us in San Diego to turn into a lifelong memory! All comments, concerns, and feedback is highly appreciated. It helps us know what we are doing perfectly and where we can improve for the future. We’ve been doing surf lessons in California for nearly 20 years. From Morro Bay, to Santa Barbara, and down to San Diego we hunt the California coastline for waves. You will learn to surf in San Diego, but we plan to give you the knowledge and skills that will allow you to surf for the rest of your life anywhere in the world.

Elias Jordan
Owner, barrel finder, and purveyor of STOKE
I’m born and raised as a Central Coast local, and nothing will take me away. While growing up in the foothills of San Luis Obispo County I was raised in the outdoors. I’ve done just about everything fun under the sun: BMX racing, skateboarding, dirt bike racing, tennis, snowboarding, and last but certainly not least, SURFING. The ocean has truly taken over my life in the past 10 years. My dad introduced my entire family to the ocean at a very young age. Surfing in the cooler waters of Morro Bay gave me a lot of appreciation for the more mild ocean temperatures found in Santa Barbara.
I moved to Santa Barbara in 2014 to obtain my Bachelors in Psychology at UCSB. Surfing has taken me from Lincoln City, to Oregon, to Sayulita Mexico, and even to Cloudbreak in Fiji. I have met incredibly diverse people through surfing around the world. If surfing has given me anything, it is the appreciation for other cultures and finding unity in the simple (but sometimes difficult) pleasure of riding a wave. After work and on my days off you will often find me hiking to the local hot springs, surfing with my friends, and often right back here at Cal Coast Adventures. This place has become a home away from home for me and being able to share paddle boarding, biking, and kayaking with my friends and family has given me so much joy over the past 4 years.
