Let us introduce ourselves
A few words about us
Surf Naples was founded by “power-couple” and co-owners Shaun Jacobs and Christina Llamas. Together they have been dedicated to sharing their love and passion for surfing and skimboarding with anyone with a desire to learn. They truly believe that through surfing and skimboarding they can help spread the love of a healthy active lifestyle in a non traditional way.
How it all came to be…
The backstory
During her early 20’s Christina worked for The City of Naples Parks and Recreation where she was involved in a summer camp program that was devoted to teaching kids how to surf, skimboard, and wakeboard. Being heavily involved and loving every minute of her work she was saddened when the recession hit and the camp was no longer offered. But, that didn’t stop her! Because of her passion for teaching, Christina started working exclusively with Old Naples Surf Shop as their surf and skim instructor. She still had a goal to one day bring back the summer camp she loved so much and with the help of Old Naples Surf Shop, Shaun and Christina were able to spread the stoke again with their Surf Naples Board Sports Camp. Along with their private lessons, their summer camp has been a big hit and going strong for over 3 years now!
