Kostya Garmash
Hello adventurers! I'm Kostya, a passionate rock climber specializing in bouldering and a love for the ocean's waves. I started my climbing journey in Ukraine, where I actively competed in national competitions, bagging several awards. Since moving to Seattle nine years ago, I've been a proud member of the Seattle Bouldering Project. My passion for heights isn't just restricted to boulders. I've scaled majestic peaks like Elbrus, Kazbek, and the challenging terrains of the Bezengi and Caucasus mountains, remembering the proud Mount Rainier. But when I'm not in the mountains, you'll find me riding the Pacific Northwest waves, having immersed myself in surfing since 2015. When the mountains are white, I ski, especially freeriding, with Mount Adams being one of my favorite spots. As the creator of the Rope Jumping team "Extreme Adventures," I've taken the thrill of adventure to another level, jumping off cliffs tethered to a rope. Whether slacklining, hiking or any other outdoor sport, my heart beats for the thrill. Let's embark on an exhilarating journey together!
Hello, fellow adventure-seekers! Surfing might seem like a distant dream for some, especially if you’ve never tried it before. But guess what? I’m here to help you turn that dream into a reality!
**What I Bring to the Waves:**
While I’ve spent countless hours bouldering and scaling some of the world’s most challenging peaks, I’ve also found an unparalleled thrill in the rhythmic dance of surfing. And although I’ve tackled numerous outdoor adventures, there’s something genuinely special about introducing someone to the joys of surfing.
**Here’s How We’ll Conquer the Waves Together:**
– **Starting at Square One:** I specialize in guiding absolute beginners. You won’t need any prior experience – just a positive attitude and a bit of enthusiasm.
– **Basics First:** We’ll begin on the beach, learning about our boards, the dynamics of waves, and the foundational postures of surfing.
– **Safety is Paramount:** Before we set foot in the water, I’ll ensure you’re equipped with the knowledge to surf safely. We’ll cover how to handle riptides, manage the board, and more.
– **Personalized Attention:** With a keen eye on your progress, I’ll provide real-time feedback. Every little tip and trick I share is aimed at getting you to ride that wave with confidence.
– **Immerse in Surf’s Vibrant World:** Beyond the physical act of surfing, I’ll introduce you to the rich culture and traditions that make surfing more than just a sport – it’s a community.
Come, dive into the world of surfing with me. It’s not just about conquering a wave; it’s about embracing a new facet of the grand adventure we call life. Let’s make some wave-tastic memories in Washington’s best spots!
