Luca Aza

Age: 23 | From: Kauai

A man of few words, Luca has been surfing since he was a baby. His favorite part of teaching is seeing the joy when someone rides their very first wave—a memory he knows will stick for life.

When he’s not teaching, you’ll find Luca surfing or fishing, enjoying Kauai’s “slow pace lifestyle” that makes the island feel like home. His biggest tip for visitors? Watch the ocean—it’s always changing, and respecting it is the first step to surfing safely.

Luca describes his vibe as mellow, with a flying fish as his spirit animal—graceful, fast, and always in motion.
