Founder & Head Coach
Justin Spadafora
Justin founded Fulcrum Surf in San Diego in 2003 and built it around high-quality coaching, professionalism and personal progression.



Coaching built around the surfer
Justin Spadafora founded Fulcrum Surf in San Diego in 2003. He comes from a background in competitive surfing and holds a kinesiology degree from Point Loma Nazarene University.
His coaching is client-centered. Each session is built around where you are as a surfer and what you want to work on. Justin teaches a proven paddle methodology and an ocean-dynamics method for understanding how waves and conditions work, all grounded in a practical approach you can use on your next session.
Justin coaches 1-on-1 in San Diego, Miami, Ocean City NJ and New York. Every lesson is one hour.
