Illawarra Surf Academy

Illawarra Surf Academy’s Learn to Surf Programs are run by Nic Squiers and his experienced and enthusiastic team that are all Surfing Australia Level 1 Qualified; hold current first aid certificates; surf rescue certificates; and Working with Children’s checks. We provide safe and stable soft-top surfboards as well as C-Skins Steamers to provide warmth and protection from the elements. Our Private Lessons are tailored to the individual, and our group lessons are designed to outline a broader range of topics to gain maximum knowledge. All our lessons and programs have a major focus on safety as well as surf awareness so you walk away closer to becoming a true surfer!

Our next progression programs are Micro-Groms for ages 5-12yrs, Super-Groms 12-17yrs then on to our Intermediate & Elite Coaching Sessions. In these programs we take a video analysis approach to coaching. This means we film each surf session, then we watch the footage back so you see where the dynamics of your body are going right or wrong, then we put things in place to better your surfing experience.
