Come and learn to surf with a local surfer, Miles Niddrie, who has surfed the Newcastle area for over 25 years and has already introduced plenty of beginners to our wonderful lifestyle of surfing. I am a full-time Professional Level 2 Surf Coach and offer smaller group lessons to provide more personal surfing instruction. Groups have a student/coach ratio of up to 6:1 and 2 groups maximum. I conduct all lessons for great continuity and consistency. I am passionate about what I do and adhere to the “soul surfer” approach to surfing. The surfer having the most fun in the water is the happiest surfer not the most skilled surfer. Keep a smile on your face and enjoy your time in the water and be friendly to other surfers.

Surfing is a great lifestyle, fun and fitness at the same time. The waves are always different and it's great to get out there and enjoy them with friends or family. Becoming a surfer takes time and practice, so getting some help will speed up the learning curve and provide a solid platform to build on.

When choosing a surf school look at the coach/surfer ratio first, then how big the total group can be. Remember a large group of beginners in the water at once is not always the best learning environment. To really learn something properly a small group works the best. Being mobile also helps provide you with the best waves we can find for your ability.
