Sergio Lima

Owner & co-founder

A pro surfer who hails from Brazil, Sergio fell in love with surfing when he was just four years old, when he caught his first wave on a piece of driftwood. His desire is to share his passion for surfing and understanding the ocean with everyone he teaches. Surfing is not just a sport, it’s a way of life!

Carly Lima

Owner, Co-FOUNDER & Photographer

Carly was born and raised in Portland, OR but has always had a family connection in Hawaii. Her aunt married Blue Makua, one of the original Waikiki Beach Boys, and now she follows in her family’s footsteps as she now leads the same lifestyle! After meeting Sergio, she too fell in love with the surfing life and has since honed her surf photography practice, providing students with priceless memories of their North Shore surf experience. It is an honor to share the gift of aloha and Island Style hospitality that her family has for decades!
