Your coach

Ben Quarrie, founder

“Surfing became a place where I felt confident, grounded and connected. I want every kid to find that.”

I started surfing at 10 and coaching at 12. Coaching alongside my own mentor showed me how much a safe, supportive approach matters – especially for beginners who feel nervous.

“I like surfing because we can learn some tricks we don't know and the big waves are fun and scary… 10/10 surfing experience with Ben, thank you. We are looking forward to the next surf program.”
