Mike Jeter Head Ride On Surf Instructor   As Matt Cassidy's (Co-founder of Ride On Surf School) little brother, Mike has inherited the surfing genius that has run through his family. Mike started surfing at the age of 10 and has been addicted ever since, surfing in Costa Rica and throughout the United states. Between swells Mike goes to school in North Georgia, one of the six senior military colleges, and is enrolled in Corps of Cadets program where he plans on graduating Army as 2nd Lieutenant.  As an officer in the Army he plans on either flying helicopters, or joining Special Forces.

		Matt Cassidy Co-founder of Ride On   Matt has enjoyed the surfing industry for over 20 years. Starting to surf at the age of 8, Matt has developed his childhood hobby into a way of life, managing one of Florida's largest surf shops for the last 6 years and now running Ride On Surf school. Matt's passion for surfing has taken him to such places as Hawaii, Costa Rica and all over Florida chasing Hurricane ground swells and light off shore winds.
		Vanessa Cassidy Secretary and Student   Besides offering unconditional love and support to Ride on's co-founder, Matt, (aka husband), Vanessa can be found signing students up, taking phone calls or sharing her vast knowledge on Destin Florida's celebrity sightings.

		Jake Meyer Co-founder of Ride On   Growing up in the cold white north, Jake first discovered his hunger for board sports snowboarding along the east and west coast of Canada (eh!). Visiting his relatives in Florida growing up, Jake began surfing his first hurricane swells on the gulf at the age of 8. Since then he has taken his love for surfing from a hobby to a lifestyle, traveling to Costa Rica, Hawaii and Australia. Between sessions Jake sometimes makes time to be Ride on's mascot as the Canuk.
