About
I have been surfing for over thirty years and running my surf
school since 1998. 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.
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.
By setting up my surf school in Adelaide I can offer my range of
services to a wider group of people. An Adelaide Surf School and
one on Eyre Peninsula means I have complete access to the best
beaches and the best conditions in SA. I taught myself to surf in
Adelaide in the mid eighties, learning the ropes of the Mid Coast,
then the South Coast. As I progressed I took weekend trips down to
Robe in the South East and Yorke Peninsula. Eventually I headed
West and found the best coastline in the world and decided to make
Eyre Peninsula home for the next 17 years.
I hope to share with you my knowledge and passion for Surfing in
South Australia.
