Paddle Surfing Lessons

Kevin Long

Surf, Sup, & Paddle Surf Instructor, Personal Trainer

Born and raised in Santa Cruz California, Kevin developed a deep connection with the ocean from a young age. "Surfing has been one of my biggest passions since my dad pushed me into my first wave when I was only five, and since then I have traveled to some world class surf destinations, and have competed in several surf contests, and paddle board races. In 2003 Kevin took first place in Santa Cruz's high school surf league. "I grew up playing just about every sport known to man. I realized the knowledge I had gained through my own pursuits could be used to help others live happier and healthier lives". He has been working as a fitness professional for over 7 years, holds an Associates Degree in Exercise Science, and is a Certified Health and Fitness Specialist through the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). "I am so stoked to have joined forces with SB Fit Tours! Why spend all of your time inside a gym when you could go outside and experience the beauty that Santa Barbara has to offer? Whether its personal training on the beach, going surfing, hiking through the foothills, or touring the coastline on a kayak or paddleboard, I can show you how exercise can feel less like work and more like play. That's why I operate by the motto Train Hard, Play Hard!"Other Certifications: CPR AED TRX Suspension Training Core Fitness Roller Level 1 Trainer Parisi Speed School Performance Coach.
