About Pines

Surfing brings about many wonderful experiences from colourful sunrises and sunsets, to seeing glorious marine life such as dolphins, whales, stingrays and many more in their own natural habitat to meeting the challenges of riding waves and progressing to the elite level such as getting your first barrel or mastering a fancy maneuver.

Surfing has changed my life and many lives before mine. It has inspired me to travel to many destinations around the world and has helped me to make friends from all walks of life. So coaching for me is a way to share the joy and also share my love for nature, the miracle of life and ocean with others and support people through their journeys.

Our surf school has an amazing balance of male and female coaches who all have a happy go lucky attitude. Every student we teach becomes part of our team and leaves as one of our friends.

Pines Surfing Academy is about the natural wonders of our beautiful coastal waters. It's about the child who sees a dolphin for the very first time. It's about those who battle daily life and find truth, peace and calmness in the roar of the whitewash. It's about the surfer who enjoys the miracle, simplicity and beauty of life. This beautiful, beautiful life...
