Robert Ross moved to Montanita in 2011 from Los Angeles, California looking for a simpler life. In Los Angeles, while Robert was in the Financial Services industry, he used every vacation to travel extensively around the world looking warm water, incredible surf and a relaxed lifestyle. Robert eventually stumbled onto Montanita on a South American surf trip in 2005. After 12 years of searching and preparing, Robert decided that Montanita provided the perfect balance to start the next chapter of his life. Today, if he is not at the hotel Robert is driving the coast in search of waves for foiling or wind for winging or spending time with his precious five children , Maddox (12) Naia (10) and Ceylon (4), Kenan and Kaiana (6 weeks, Twins) who were born in Ecuador.

After 15 years in Ecuador, Robert may have the best knowledge on the entire coast as a true waterman. Robert surfs, kites, wings, and these days spends most his time on Foil, prone, tow and boogieing up and down the Ecuadorian coast. Robert's knowledge of the Ecuadorian coast is unrivaled and excited to share this tropical paradise with foilers from around the world.
