    Newcastle Surf School: Supporting the Next Generation of Surfers


    At Newcastle Surf School, we’re dedicated to coaching and inspiring the next generation of surfers—from absolute beginners to competition to future WSL contenders. We believe every young surfer should have the chance to develop their skills, confidence, and love for the ocean in a supportive, local environment.


    Unlike some programs, our coaches are not hired through Surfing NSW and we don’t receive government subsidies. This means we don’t have the same financial support to lower our prices as much as subsidized programs can. However, we are committed to providing the same high-quality coaching, care, and opportunities for all our students.


    Our Promise:

    - Expert, passionate, and experienced local coach

    - Small group sizes for personalized attention

    - A strong community focus and supportive learning environment

    - Programs designed to nurture talent from grassroots to elite levels


    Making Surfing Accessible:

    We understand that affordability is important for families. That’s why we’re constantly looking for ways to make our programs more accessible—whether it’s through flexible payment options, scholarships, or community partnerships.

    Please support a local business that’s deeply invested in the future of our surf community.
