The Philosophy of my Surfing Instruction
My personalised instruction technique is based on teaching one how to learn what I call 'Hawaiian Surfboard Riding.' The Polynesians originated the endeavour thousand of years ago. I accent that for the best 'feeling' one should be 'trimming' and 'skimming' over the top of the water. And if possible riding all the way to the beach and stepping off with ones hair dry. Therefore first of all, I make sure that you begin on a surfboard which floats you well.

Surfing is not just about riding a wave. It is also importantly about how to fit into the rhythm of the environment of the ocean and do this safely relative to your ability and level of knowledge and skill. When you do it you may find that you fill up with endorphins and feel like a king. Beside the fact that many of the Hawaiian kings did surf, I believe the Hawaiians called it the 'sport of kings' because it makes you feel like one.

I specialise in personalised instruction (one or two people) I am one of only two of this mode of Licensed (under Byron Shire Council and Cape Byron Trust) surf Schools. After one session with me a person should be able to more easily and safely teach themselves properly...

Hi Rusty

Thanks for the lesson last week, it made a big difference. I had some great rides and had some of my most controlled rides & turns ever. Sorry I could not book a lesson on Saturday - just a small matter of it being my wedding anniversary.
Thanks again, you are a brilliant teacher.

Regards
Howard Badger, Director

Hi Rusty
So great meeting you and having my first surfing lessons.
Tried a bit more in Sydney, but nothing quite like being out there with you.
Loved our "safari" round from Watego's to the Pass.
Keep well and have a fantastic year.
Best wishes
Tim and Helen

Dear Rusty
You have a great teaching style and I've retained a lot of what you taught me, which can sometimes be difficult when you spend a short time with someone. I especially like your attitude, very inspiring. I'm gonna see what else in life I can apply 'The Rhythm Method' to!
