Our story

Teaching Perth to surf since 1986

We're a family business, and we've been putting people on waves at Scarborough for nearly four decades โ€” long enough to call ourselves the world's oldest surf school.

That history means coaches who've seen it all, a genuine love of teaching, and a friendly welcome whether it's your first wave or your fiftieth.
