    About Our Surf Instructors

     

    Tyson Greenaway – Owner

In 2009 he competed for England in the European Surfing Championships, held in Jersey, coming third overall in the Seniors category which helped the England Team to a fourth place finish. In 2011 he again competed in the Europeans held in Bundoran in Ireland. This time he finished 5th overall.

    Tyson, a Level 4 surf coach and ASI Trainer Assessor, has been coaching for 12 years. He has coached the British Junior Squad in 2003, 2007 and 2008 and from 2005 to 2010 sat on the British Surfing Association’s coaching committee.

    Ian Gabbitas – Manager

    Ian has been surfing for over 15 years and this year is his tenth year of coaching at the academy. He is one of the most experienced surf coaches in Britain and has loads of knowledge to pass on to his students.

    Ian loves the beach and when he’s not delivering surfing lessons you can be sure to see him practising the maneuvers that he learnt this winter.

    Gab will be delivering all of our Level 1 ASI Surf Instructor courses this year and sending the next wave (pun intended) of surf instructors into the water. Want to become an instructor? Click here.

    Ian Warwick – Head Coach

    Freddie

    Freddie is our go-to guy for anything to do with longboarding or the history of surfing. If he doesn’t know it then it probably isn’t worth knowing. Freddie will be coaching throughout the summer so if you want to improve your longboarding then he is the man to ask.

    Freddie has been surfing for over 30 years and is one of the best instructors there is. In his former life he travelled the world with work but now he’s based back in Cornwall and spending all his free time in the water.

    And why do we call him Freddie? He looks like Freddie Mercury! It’s uncanny.

    Dan Morse – Deputy Head Coach

    https://youtu.be/x8a_OYJ7E_w
    Dan has been surfing for 14 years and been an everpresent coach at the academy for the last six years.

    A gifted bodyboarder, fisherman and surfer – he spends so much time in the sea he’s grown scales. Now he has added cycling to his list of talents so make the most of him while he is stood still!

    Dan takes his coaching very seriously and his winter he will be starting a degree in Sports Coaching at the local university.
