Established in 2004, Redhead Mobile Surf School provides smaller class sizes, beginner to advanced levels. We are licensed with Surfing Australia, which oversees over 70 affiliated surf schools Australia wide. Open all year round including winter.
Come and learn to surf with a local surfer, Miles Niddrie, who has surfed the Newcastle area for over 25 years and has already introduced plenty of beginners to our wonderful lifestyle of surfing. I am a full-time Professional Level 2 Surf Coach and offer smaller group lessons to provide more personal surfing instruction. Groups have a student/coach ratio of up to 6:1 and 2 groups maximum.
Surfing is a great lifestyle, fun and fitness at the same time. The waves are always different and it's great to get out there and enjoy them with friends or family. Becoming a surfer takes time and practice, so getting some help will speed up the learning curve and provide a solid platform to build on.
Beaches and times will be chosen depending on the conditions and tides. As no beach in Newcastle is “safe” all the time we may need to travel to find the right beginner wave for your lessons. It is not as simple as just going to any beach and paddling out. Occasionally the ocean will not co-operate and we may need to re-schedule lessons due to dangerous conditions. This is part of surfing and patience is something a surfer needs at times, but this makes the good days all the more enjoyable.
Learn how to paddle, safely handle your board in the surf, stand- up techniques, turning skills, surfing conduct and local conditions and the best beaches to practice at. Surf safety instruction provided so you can identify hazards like rips, sweeps, wave types and what type of wave to look for when you are practicing. Classes also include how to choose your equipment.
Lessons are not limited to beginners and I can improve your surfing even if you have surfed for years. Video analysis of your surfing is available too.
Fully qualified level 2 and Level 1 Surf Coaches with over 25 years surfing experience in the Newcastle area. Surfing Australia Licensed, senior 1st aid certificate, APOLA lifeguard accredited and council approved to conduct lessons at all Newcastle area beaches. All lessons are conducted by the owner/operator for great continuity and consistency

"Lessons with Miles are a great way to start. His small, personalised groups really helps you learn a lot faster as well as making it a lot of fun. Choosing the right surfing spots for the conditions on the day as well as his level of experience is a huge bonus. You won't find a more relaxed but professional surf school around town.
