I live, work and surf on South Australia's West Coast of Eyre Peninsula with my wife and three kids. I have been surfing for over twenty years and running my surf school for almost ten. Surfing is my passion, and I have made it my mission to bring the surfing experience a little bit closer to everybody. Surfing has the ability to change your life. It is healthy, fun, exciting, challenging, and ( believe it or not) pretty safe. I believe that the key is to get the right advice, use the right equipment, and ensure you choose the right location for your first experience.
With a Physical Education teaching degree and a background in Special Education, along with many years as a swimming and aquatics instructor, I have developed my own unique style of teaching surfing, which makes the sport accessible to any one. There are no restrictions on who can learn to surf. Anyone can do it. Most surf schools only cater for fit, able bodied participants, but my techniques can help everyone. People of any age, any gender, any size, varying physical or mental abilities, and from any background can all take part in my lessons. Classes can be tailored to suit individuals or groups of up to twenty four. Instruction ranges from absolute beginner classes right up to advanced coaching techniques. If you are unable to attend a lesson then all you need to know to teach yourself, your friends, or your kids, can be found in my free e-book or my Learn to Surf DVD.
What I offer is a complete package, for the experienced surfer right through to the absolute beginner, with expert advice, accurate information, and the best equipment, all available online. On top of this, it is my teaching technique which differs from other surf schools, allowing me to have nearly a one hundred percent success rate of participants standing up and riding a wave during my course.
When was the last time you got so excited about a personal achievement that you screamed out loud? I love teaching surfing because of the joy it brings anyone who gives it a go. I will guide you step by step through every thing you need to know about surfing, from the first time you paddle out, to buying your first board and wetsuit, to planning your first surfari.
