I surf because I feel great physically, emotionally and spiritually. I can’t quite relax until I’ve done some exercise and been in the water, so it’s lucky my favourite time of day is early morning.

Tutorial 2 – How to Duck Dive
Duck Diving… what is a duck dive?
A duck dive is a technique used by surfers to sink their boards underwater to duck under the breaking wave, allowing it to roll over them.
This is a skill that will take a little while to get a hold of, so in our 2nd edition of our Tutorial series, our Senior Instructor Justin teaches us how.

I’ve been on a surfboard since I could remember. Surfing is my happy place it’s my mental escape and my way of connecting with the elements. To be able to share my passion with others on a daily basis is indescribable.
I love that moment when one of my students achieves their goal, the look on their face as they throw their hands in air in celebration makes my job one of the best in the world.

For me, surfing is a release from reality yet it connects you with nature and rewards the effort you put in. I look forward to lessons because I like helping people achieve goals, and also having people paying to hear my opinion on things.
My favourite surf is a late one, an hour before dark, and my ideal conditions are 1 foot perfection with a gentle offshore or 4-6 foot cloud break.
