About Us

Who are we?
We are a family-owned surf school located in the beautiful Jervis Bay. We offer classes for all levels, from beginners to experienced surfers. Our experienced instructors will teach you the basics of surfing, from paddling and popping up to riding waves, while incorporating Ocean safety to every lesson. We also offer private lessons and group lessons.
We opened our doors in September 2023 and are excited to help you learn to surf!
At Coast2Coast Surf Academy, our mission is to create a secure and enjoyable learning environment catering to surfers at the beginner to intermediate levels.
Our classes primarily take place at the stunning Caves Beach within The Booderee National Park. Please keep in mind that, given the dynamic nature of surfing, our class locations are subject to weather conditions. In the event of unfavourable conditions at Caves Beach, we may conduct classes at alternative locations better suited to the prevailing conditions.
