I think the most important thing you need to know about me is that surfing and travel are my passions and as the saying goes! I’m still a frothing grom, albeit an older one!  along with meeting new people and experiencing new cultures, having fun and being able to help surfers improve their skills.

I have over 20 years’ experience in surf coaching and surf travel, specialising in improving technique and competitive strategy for competition surfing.

I have represented the England surfing team as Head Coach for the past five years at the world games and European Surfing Championships with team members achieving some excellent results.

I have coached and helped hundreds of intermediate to advanced surfers to improve their techniques, ocean awareness and safety in the surf line.

With a passion for surf travel I have been running surf coaching tours for many years since the early 1990s and have an in depth understanding of what surfers want and need on a surf tour.
