William Kimball caught his first wave at Jupiter Inlet as a teenager and never looked back. After years of competing and refining his craft along Florida's coastline, he turned his passion into a purpose — founding Blue Water School of Surfing in 1996 with a simple mission: share the joy of surfing safely and authentically.
What started as a one-man operation on the legendary Jupiter Beach Park sandbar grew into Palm Beach County's most trusted surf school. William's philosophy was always the same: every student, regardless of age or ability, deserves patient, personalized instruction in a safe environment where they can genuinely fall in love with the ocean.
Today, Blue Water is home to a small team of passionate, certified instructors who share William's values. Many of them were students here first — the ultimate testament to what this place means to the community.
Over three decades later, William still paddles out with every class. "The look on someone's face when they catch their first wave never gets old," he says. "That's why I do this."
