Doug and Zandra Frank

Teaches at Captain Kirk's

Doug signed on as the first partner at the La Ventana resort, joining Kirk in his vision in 1995. A native Californian, he has always loved the water and has been surfing since his early twenties and windsurfing since 1985 - La Ventana and the Gorge in Hood River are his favorite playgrounds. Doug earned his MA in psychology at Integral Studies Institute in San Francisco, and also has a background in the natural foods business. Currently, he is retired from counseling (for the most part), enjoys organic farming in Southern Oregon, and is spending more time in Baja each year. Zandra spent 20 years as an early childhood professional and is beginning a new career in holistic nutrition consulting. Although not active in water sports, she enjoys La Ventana’s sunrises and sunsets and the mystery of the Sea of Cortez. The Franks are a close combined family and spend as much time as they can together. Their son Ry has been windsurfing since age twelve, and Captain Kirk’s is one of his favorite spots for water sports, photography, and socializing. Daughters Nerissa, Lila and Prema have learned to SUP and even three year old granddaughter, Iyanna, has been on a board. Son-in-law Kojo has enjoyed snorkeling and trying fresh caught squid. Lila, a pilates and personal trainer from the Bay Area, has taught pilates classes at the resort. (Look for her upcoming pilates retreats in the near future.)
