About Drake – Founder of Drake’s Surfing Lessons & Rentals
Drake’s passion for surfing began at the age of 12 when he made his first trip to the legendary North Shore of Oahu. Captivated by the power and beauty of the big waves, he moved to the North Shore at just 15 years old, where he fully committed to the world of big wave surfing, competition, and travel. Over the years, Drake has lived his dream, chasing the perfect wave and competing globally in some of the world’s most renowned surf spots.
Now, with decades of experience, Drake is dedicated to sharing his love of the sport with others. He opened Drake’s Surfing Lessons & Rentals in Hawaii, Florida, and Rehoboth Beach, DE, to help surfers of all skill levels experience the stoke of surfing. Whether you’re a beginner looking to ride your first wave or an experienced surfer chasing your next challenge, Drake’s mission is to share his knowledge and passion with the world.
