Surf instructor
Sydney Rohan
Surf instructor with Club Ed Surf School in Santa Cruz, California.
Sydney has been surfing for 12 years. Club Ed — specifically Rick — taught her how to surf, and she has been teaching at Club Ed for almost three years.
She loves the moment a first-timer stands up. A recent UCLA graduate, she is heading to medical school and will happily talk about kelp the entire paddle out.
Every Club Ed instructor is lifeguard, CPR and First Aid certified before they get in the water with students, and teaches at a ratio of one coach for every four surfers.
