Experience matters. 15 years of traveling the globe as a professional surfer on the qualifying series of the World Surf League (ASP), Travis made sure to nd a way to remain closely connected to his saltwater roots. Though his days surng professionally are past, he is now able to share the tips he’s picked up along the way by coaching and training aspiring surfers. Travis has turned his passion for surng toward opening a private surf “lab” , Beckmann Surf Academy, which serves as both a fun and enriching outpost for surfers of all levels. His surab oers an unparalleled experience that continues to bring both him and his clients immense amounts of joy. Whether you are brand new to surng, a grom looking to up your competitive skill set, or an adult looking to improve your skills in the water free surng, Travis can help you.
Travis’ passion for surng exudes a particular type of energy. For anyone who has spent a signicant amount of time watching the pro’s, that energy is immediately apparent. For Travis, that energy is akin to what he felt growing up on the shores of Hawaii where he learned to surf. The strength of the worldwide surf community and the unbridled creativity found with every new Grom taking up the sport is an incredible source of inspiration driving him to share his knowledge with others.
Travis believes the best way to foster and support growth in surng is to share his passion with others looking to take their surng to the next level.
