Recomendations

Jeremy is an exceptional surf coach. His approach gave our son confidence in the water and enhanced his surfing abilities exponentially in a short period of time. Gavin looks forward to his weekly surf session with Mr. Handysides and always comes out of the water fired up about his waves and eager for the next time he can surf. Our son has gained the skills to compete in surf contests as well as developed a lifelong passion for surfing. Jeremy is not only a coach to Gavin, he is a mentor, who incorporates Christian values into his coaching. He is a true gem.

I’ve known Jeremy as a friend for over 6 years now. In that time he has always been a man of character and integrity. A hard-work ethic and passionate for life and surfing. He initially approached us about coaching our boys in surfing. We’ve had other options for surf coaches, but never felt that our boys would get the best of both sides of coaching, in the water abilities as well as and even more importantly out of the water life coaching. We (my wife and I) are trying to raise our boys with a respect for life as a whole; personal character above personal ability. Jeremy impacts both through his approach in coaching. We value highly not only his personal life experience but also his surfing experience as a competitor and contest judge. He brings a perfect trifecta. Since he has begun working with our sons we’ve seen improvement in numerous areas of their surfing as well as a raised excitement to compete. We’ve also seen a new level of willingness to receive instruction and coaching. We look forward to developing our relationship with Jeremy as a coach and HIGHLY recommend him to anyone considering Jeremy as a surf coach for their son or daughter. – Tim Crozier (Owner/Shaper Blackbird Surfboards, Father of Micah & Caleb Crozier – both currently being coached by Jeremy).

BIO

Here are a few facts about me...

I am happily married to Melissa Handysides and we are excited to have a baby on the way! For the past 11 years I have worked in Special Education, received my BA in Liberal Studies from PUC back in 2002 and my Educational Specialist teaching credential through CSUSB in 2005. I've surfed for 23 years, coached & instructed surfing since 1996. I have also competed and been a top ranked surfer in the CSUS surf series since 2003. In this past year, as the head surf coach for the SFC surf team, our surf team got 3rd in the SSS state championships, won a spirit award from Oakley/Surfer Mag, and I've helped many new JH surf coaching students achieve their personal surfing goals in contests. It is a joy and a passion for me to coach surfing and I am confident that any surfer who signs up, will have an incredible experience learning new surfing skills that will last a lifetime.

Thanks for reading this and I look forward to working with you.
