About
Established in 2004 as Redhead Mobile Surf School offering the smallest group sessions in town, Owner Miles Niddrie changed the surf schoolâ??s name to Learn to Surf Newcastle in 2012 to better reflect the schoolâ??s Newcastle-wide area of operation. Licensed with Surfing Australia, which oversees over 80 affiliated surf schools Australia wide and local council approved. We're open all year round including winter. Our surf school was the 1st in Newcastle to offer smaller class sizes and lower coach to surfer ratios in 2004. The school has always been a mobile operation to provide quality surf instruction at the most suitable beaches around Newcastle and Lake Macquarie. Primary locations are Blacksmiths, Caves and Stockton beaches and we have licences for beaches from Stockton to Catherine Hill Bay with loads of options to choose from.
As no beach in Newcastle is â??safeâ??all the time we may need to travel to find the right beginner wave for your lessons. It is not as simple as just going to any beach and paddling out. Every surfer will tell you its all about the tides, the swell direction, the sandbanks and the wind just like fishing you need a plan.
