Our Amazing Coaches
Ed Wylie
Head Coach
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. Since, Ed has been heavily involved in developing surfing programs and teaching techniques for beginner to advanced surfers.
Kara Sparkman
Surf Coach
A beautiful long boarder and our resident artist, Kara learned how to surf as a young adult living in the Pacific Northwest. Her passion for surfing led her to Costa Rica, where she now coaches and continues to paint. Kara provides support in the water, working with children and adults to make sure every guest feels confident and safe. Her art sessions back at camp allow guests to translate their Costa Rican experiences into beautiful pieces of artwork.
