Founder
Leo Harrington
I was raised in Malibu, California where my passion for the ocean came to life. Since childhood, countless days have been spent surfing, diving, and training. Today, I work in the motion picture industry providing water safety, surf coordination, and aquatic stunts. I am professional surf instructor, certified lifeguard, and President of a non-profit called THERAsurf.
Westward Marine and Surf Co. was created with the goal of supporting individuals and companies in accomplishing their specific needs in the aquatic world. WMS fuses my experience as a professional surf coach with my career in water safety. I take pride in passing my ocean knowledge on to those who are in pursuit of becoming more confident in the water, and assisting in bringing creative visions to life.
