For the best resorts, private villas and yachts, I'd recommend planning well ahead particularly if you're travelling during the main surf season or school holidays.

Some of the smaller island resorts and yachts have very limited availability.

For an overseas surf trip, 7–10 days can work very well. Some clients book for 2 weeks.

If you're travelling a long way or joining a yacht expedition, I'd generally recommend allowing more time where possible.

The more time we have, the more flexibility we have around swell, wind and weather.

Absolutely.

In fact, some of my favourite trips are those where surfing is only part of the experience.

The right destination can offer diving, snorkelling, fishing, hiking, wildlife, beaches, culture, great food and plenty of time simply doing nothing.

No.

The important thing is choosing the right destination and waves for your ability.

I work with surfers ranging from people who are still developing their skills through to highly experienced surfers looking to surf challenging waves at their best.

I offer a private, bespoke service that is based around your wants and needs.

I am easy going but professional and value safety as your number one priority.

I have 25yrs of coaching and guiding experience which ensures a safe, fun learning environment for you.
