What our surfers say

Been surfing my whole life on the Sunshine Coast and recently did a video analysis session with the guys at Sunshine Coast Elite Surf Coaching. Honestly a bit of a breakthrough moment. Watching yourself surf is one thing, but they went through a proper detailed breakdown of my body positioning and biomechanics, compared me to other surfers, and picked apart the exact sections of my surfing that were holding me back. Then gave me clear guidelines on how to fix it. Stoked on the detail they went to. Can’t recommend the online video analysis enough. Cheers legends!

The trip was super fun, great crew, top notch coaching. Tomas is not only a very knowledgeable coach, he also pushes and encourages you to step out of your comfort zone. It’s very clear he wants you to be the best surfer that you can be. He is also very down to earth and funny. The video analysis and quality was excellent. Accommodation and food were really good. Would definitely go again if Tomas runs another trip. Yew!

Thomas coached me and my partner for 5 days, and he is truly a real surfcoach. We are both intermediate, but with each our own working points and style. He is able to adjust his teaching style and tips to each individual surfer, and you really feel seen and understood in the water. Myself as a very anxious surfer Thomas helped me with this a lot! (And not many coaches can). Definitely coming back to him for a bootcamp next time!

Such a great experience. We were a group of very beginner surfers and did this as a Christmas present for family, and it couldn’t have gone better. The instructors were super knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring. They explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, made sure everyone felt safe, and kept the vibe relaxed and fun the whole time. No pressure at all, just lots of encouragement and laughs. It was an awesome way to spend time together and made for a really memorable gift. Everyone came away smiling (and pretty proud of ourselves!). Would highly recommend to anyone on the Sunshine Coast, especially first-timers.

Tomas is an amazing surf coach! He met me bright and early 3 different days to surf the beach breaks in an area that was unfamiliar to me. He's easy to communicate with, easy to be with, no ego, super helpful, great coaching tips for intermediate surfers, ready to coach and has a bright spirit! Highly recommend!

Amazing! I had several years away from surfing and really needed some assistance to build up my confidence again (and iron out my shocking surf habits). The team at SC Elite Surf Coaching are brilliant and I've thoroughly enjoyed every session.

The team at Sunshine Coast elite surf coaching are amazing and go above and beyond to make sure your catered for and looked after out there. I went once and now go every time I can because I always learn so much in every lesson and feel more confident every time not to mention the great company and encouragement with the groups that attend.

I had an amazing experience surfing with Thomas for two weeks this summer. He is not only incredibly nice but also a lot of fun to hang out with. As an intermediate surfer, I greatly appreciated the valuable tips and guidance he provided after each wave. He helped me improve significantly, and I couldn’t have asked for a better surf instructor. Highly recommended!

We had a great surfing lesson from Tomas. As complete novices, we benefited from an introduction to sea safety (in particular rip tides) and were made to feel very safe throughout the lesson. We were both thrilled to progress throughout the lesson and really enjoyed the experience. The lesson has stood us in good stead to be able to enjoy surfing as we continue our travels down the east coast. Many thanks!

Great coaching style. Tomas consistently gave me the ques, which got me standing on a surfboard! I can now paddle and surf a wave all by myself 😁🤙

I’ve been far and wide to discover a coach that can break techniques down in a simple way so that I can progress to a good level of surfing. Tomas did exactly this for me, with care, consideration, and unquestionable knowledge (not to mention heaps of laughs) I will be coming back to seek coaching and friendship year after year. Cheers Tomas !

I couldn't have had a better time with Tomas and CJ from Sunshine Coast Elite Surf Coaching! They made my first surf lesson amazing! As a beginner, I was a little nervous, but the coaches were super patient and made me feel totally safe in the water. Their clear instructions and positive vibes gave me the confidence to get up on the board faster than I expected. I left the lesson feeling confident in surfing and ready for more! Súper recomendable :))

Probably the best surf coaching I’ve experienced so far! The coaches are amazing, they didn’t miss a beat in helping me improve my form and technique. They made sure I had their full focus the entire session, with personalised tips that made a real difference. I felt really comfortable and safe! Their passion and knowledge made the whole experience super fun and productive. Highly recommend!

Great session! We were two intermediate surfers and very flexible with plans / preferences. Tomas was our instructor and was very patient, helped us with positioning, and gave helpful feedback, which allowed us to improve within the session! Thanks!!!!

Had a great experience with Tomas, very professional but also a great laugh to hang out with. Had a few light bulb moments even after 20 years of surfing. Highly recommend.

I booked a private lesson with Lewis for my 11 year old son. He had a great time and Lewis helped build his confidence in the more open surf of Sunshine Beach. He had been nervous about the waves being bigger than at Noosa Heads but afterwards he was buzzing about being out there and was very comfortable.

I am in the 6wks intermediate group session with my teacher Lewis. I can’t thank enough to Lewis, it couldn’t have been any better. He’s supportive, caring, motivating, list goes on. I will absolutely keep going with Lewis if there’s another session coming up!

Coach Tomas helped me and my girlfriend a lot in improving our surfing skills. He is really nice and respectful and helpes everybody no matter what skill level. Really 10/10 surfing experience!
