About Danny Nuñez
Danny is Colombian-born Surfer by way of St. Petersburg, Florida. As a true Pisces, he has always had a natural affinity for the water. He grew up near the pristine waters of the Gulf of Mexico, where he spent as much of his life as possible - surfing, wake-boarding, knee-boarding, fishing, boating, and swimming. He recalls being captivated at a young age by local surfers braving the hurricane-strength waves and saying to himself, “I want to learn that one day." He and his friends were soon emulating those veteran surfers on second-hand boards, learning how to stay safe in much rougher waters than swimming pools.
He has spent years working in music, fashion, and marketing in NYC, but always stuck with his greatest passion too: surfing. All throughout, he’s been offering surfing and ocean knowledge classes to individuals from all walks of life. With more than 20 years surfing, 10 years teaching surfing, and five years teaching swimming, Danny will touch on all facets of being safe in and out of the ocean.
