Ed developed a life long passion when he became addicted to surfing at an early age in Australia. After teaching surfing for over 7 years Ed delved into snowboard instructing, it was there that he realized surfing was missing a systematic and structured way of coaching that existed in the ski and snowboard world and Surf Your Best was born. Since, Ed has been heavily involved in developing surfing programs and teaching techniques for beginner to advanced surfers.
