This system helps ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to catch waves while maintaining harmony in the water. If you ever feel unsure about how it works or have any questions regarding it, please do not hesitate to ask your coach, and we will be more than happy to explain it to you in detail.

Additionally, feel free to share our surfing footage with friends and family. If you could kindly mention @noosasurfingacademy when sharing, that would be greatly appreciated.

Missed Sessions: Because our classes are capped to help maintain a high level of tuition at each session we do not offer credit for missed sessions however you’re more than welcome to gift your spot to another suitable surfer or sibling who can return the favour when they’re away or sick.

TESTIMONIALS:

Mick Fanning AO, 3x World Surfing Champion (2007, 2009, 2013)

“I’ve known Dean Brady for 25 years. He’s a big friendly giant and always a pleasure to be around. Since we first met, I’ve watched him grow into becoming one of the world’s best surfers to now a dedicated family man and businessman. Dean’s knowledge of the ocean is incredible and his patience with people makes him one of the best people to teach surfing to all levels of ability. Dean shares and ingrains the knowledge he has gained from three plus decades of surfing Noosa and abroad into aspiring surfers as I’ve witnessed him do for Noosa Boardriders Club on many occasions along with helping myself guide some of Rip Curl’s best junior surfers in Hawaii for many years at waves like Pipeline and Sunset Beach. I highly recommend the Noosa Surfing Academy; I know Dean and his team offer a high level of tuition that is not easy to find.”

Bede Durbidge, Olympic Australian Surf Team Head Coach

“I have known Dean Brady (NSA Founder and Head Coach) for over 20 years. It’s been incredible to watch him go from having a great professional surfing career himself to now helping the next generation chase their dreams. Grass roots surfing is where all Olympians and World Champions start out and what an opportunity for Noosa to have one of their own passing on a wealth of knowledge to the local surfing community.”
