Dan Maher - Founder & Trainer

I’ve been a certified personal trainer with over 15 years of experience, most recently combining my two passions and specializing in surf-specific strength and conditioning. Having worked with clients of all levels—from beginners catching their first wave to competitive surfers – my training programs aim to improve strength, mobility, power, and balance both in and out of the water. With a passion for whole-body and mind health, my customized programs integrate functional movements and recovery into every session to support peak performance and injury prevention to keep our clients out in the water longer. Backed by multiple certifications and a deep understanding of surf biomechanics, I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and highly effective training experience tailored to meet every athlete’s needs.
