History

Established in 2012.

Wavehuggers was formed out of our passion for surfing and the desire to help protect the ocean and the environment. Not ony do we assist people in catching waves, but we want to teach people all of the factors involved in surfing, including the swells, tides, wind, and surf etiquette.

By teaching people of all ages how to surf, we are sharing the opportunity to fall in love with the ocean, and to be aware of its importance and its critical state. Not only does the Wavehuggers team bring people together to ride waves, but we also join others in cleaning up our beaches and participating in events benefiting our oceans that we love.

Business Owner

Ever since I was little, I had an obsession for the beach. I would spend hours sun bathing with my toes in the sand, lying in the shallow water while allowing the tide to roll me back and forth, and frolicking in the waves. My oldest sister, Holly Beck, is a professional surfer and introduced me to the sport when I was about 8 years old. After a summer full of long days spent at the beach with Holly sharing her skills and love for the sport, I was hooked. Since then, I have surfed in many exotic places, including Nicaragua, Mexico, Panama, Hawaii, Costa Rica, El Salvador, and more. I also joined the competitive surf team in high school and in college as well. My growing passion for surfing and the ocean gets me in the water every day, and motivates me to share with others the epic feeling of riding a wave and being one with the ocean, as well as how important it is to preserve the ocean that gifts us with this sport.
