ELITE SURF COACHING YOU CAN TRUST

Our passionate, Surfing Australia accredited Coaches bring world-class expertise, small-group safety, and a community spirit to every lesson.

"OUR BIGGEST WIN IS SEEING YOUR CONFIDENCE GROW WAVE BY WAVE"

Amee Donohoe, Founder

At Central Coast Surf Academy, our greatest asset is our coaching team. We’ve assembled a group of passionate, professional surf coaches—each accredited by Surfing Australia and tested by years of high-performance riding—to guide you safely from your very first wave through to advanced maneuvers.

Surfing Australia, First Aid, and Bronze Medallion Accredited

Every CCSA Coach holds current Surfing Australia coaching certification, senior first aid, and Bronze Medallion qualifications.

World class experience

Our founder, Amee Donohoe, reached ASP World No. 5 on the WCT. She and our Head Coaches bring insights from elite competition and high-performance camps directly into every lesson.

Tailored for all levels

Whether you’re a complete beginner or chasing competition results, our small-group format (max 8 students per coach) ensures expert feedback, personalised progression plans, and a safe, supportive environment.

Cutting-edge training

We integrate the latest surf-specific fitness, video analysis, and ocean-safety protocols so you learn more, faster—and more confidently.

Passion & community

More than technique, our coaches build confidence, resilience, and camaraderie. You’ll join a community that celebrates every milestone—big or small—on and off the board.

Choose CCSA for truly professional surf instruction. Our certified coaches won’t just teach you to ride waves—they’ll empower you to reach your personal best.
