About Joe
I'm Joe — a qualified surf instructor with years of hands-on experience teaching surfers of all levels on the Atlantic coast, from complete beginners to people refining advanced technique. Alongside surfing, I hold a First Class degree in Conservation Biology and currently work as a marine scientist and rainforest educator, so I bring a genuinely deep understanding of the ocean, waves and natural environment to every session — not just technique, but the why behind it.
I'm also dyslexic, which has given me a real appreciation for breaking things down clearly and adapting how I explain things so they actually land, rather than relying on one-size-fits-all coaching.
I believe the best progress comes from understanding your own surfing, not just being told what to fix. My coaching style is honest, encouraging and genuinely detailed — I'll show you exactly what's happening in your technique and give you a clear path to improve.
Right now I'm based remotely while working and travelling, so all coaching is delivered online and flexible around your schedule and time zone.

'm Joe — a qualified surf instructor with years of experience teaching surfers of all levels on the Atlantic coast. I also hold a First Class degree in Conservation Biology and work as a rainforest educator and marine scientist, so I bring a genuinely deep understanding of the ocean to every session.
This is online surf coaching done properly — not a gimmick. Send me a video of yourself surfing and I'll give you detailed, honest feedback on your technique: pop-up, positioning, paddling, wave reading, timing. You'll get clear, actionable steps to improve, explained in a way that actually makes sense.
I also offer surf theory and preparation coaching — perfect if you're planning a surf trip and want to understand wave behaviour, ocean safety, surf etiquette, and what to expect before you even get in the water.
This isn't a replacement for in-person lessons when you're learning to stand for the first time — but if you're already surfing and want to genuinely improve, this is one of the most effective ways to fast-track your progress.
Lessons are fully online and flexible around your schedule — I'm currently based remotely while working abroad.
What you'll get:
Detailed video breakdown of your technique
Clear, actionable feedback
A personalised plan to improve
Surf theory and ocean safety coaching available
