About Jess
Jess is a highly experienced ASI Level 3 Surf Coach, holding surf rescue and senior first aid qualifications and Masters in Strength and Conditioning.
She started surfing with Discovery surf school over 20 years ago, where she was coached by Martin Connolly and then became a member of the Discovery surf School coaching team in 2011.
Jess has grown up surfing locally in south Devon but often spends winters over seas in warmer waters.
She has worked with a variety of clients; young competitors, local groms, school groups and individuals with autism and physical disabilities.
Jess is an accredited strength and conditioning coach which has enabled her to work with professional athletes for number of years alongside surf coaching. This experience and knowledge allows Jess to provide clients with strength and conditioning programmes alongside their surf coaching, allowing surfers to work on weaknesses away from the water.
