MG Bruno

I grew up surfing the beach breaks along Florida’s Gulf Coast, where inconsistent waves and shifting sandbars taught me how to read forecasts and adapt to constantly changing conditions. I started out bodysurfing and riding my father’s old single fin, developing my skills through those early experiences and guidance from my older brother. I spent many years working at my cousin’s surf shop, Waterboyz, in Pensacola, FL, and later earned a BA in Film and Media Studies from The Evergreen State College before moving to New York.

Now based in Rockaway Beach, NY, I offer private surf lessons and videography through MG’s Surfing Services. My teaching approach emphasizes patience, perseverance, and a strong connection to the ocean, with a focus on breath, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques.
