My surfing journey began on the beaches of Durban, South Africa in the late 1970's! In those days we learnt the hard way with little guidance from fellow surfers, let alone a learn to surf school! I acquired Sunshine Coast Surf Schools in 2008 (Surfing Australia licensed) has extended my passion to many others from kids to adults and people with a disability. I believe the sport is a great link between activity and the environment, and is a lifestyle with many health and wellness benefits. My coaching experience has included Community Coaching (Aus Sport), Junior Club and Regional Representative Rugby Union teams, Junior cricket, and as a private Strength and Conditioning coach. We have 5 Learn to Surf locations in the Caloundra area and select the most appropriate beach depending on beach conditions and student ability. Bookings to be notified of meeting point details 24 hours prior. All equipment, including soft surfboards, rash shirts/wetsuits are included.
