Nyzjon Jefferson

Originally from San Diego, Nyzjon discovered his passion for surfing at 14, thanks to his bible study leader. Since becoming a surf instructor in 2018, he has loved sharing the tradition with others, saying, “I love seeing people gain a new passion and connection to surfing.” Now a student at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa, Nyzjon embraces the rich culture of Hawai’i and speaks both ‘Ōlelo Hawai’i and Spanish.
