Let me take a moment to introduce you to The Beginner Surfer; more specifically to why I started this surf blog and what you'll find here.

Filling a gap in the online surfing community

Have you ever searched the vast expanse of the internet for a comprehensive, beginner-friendly surf course, only to come up empty-handed? That's precisely why I started The Beginner Surfer.

So, I decided to bridge that gap and create a space where beginner surfers can find the support and guidance they need to confidently paddle out and catch their first wave.
