Tide Riders Surf school is owned and run by Todd Nosworthy. He is an elite-advanced level surfer. He’s been surfing for the majority of his life at all types of surf breaks including advanced level surf breaks along the west coast and east coast of Australia, Indonesia, Fiji and the US. Todd has studied Sport and Exercise Science, then Sports Teaching, and is an ASI accredited surfing instructor, holding surf rescue and first aid qualifications.

As surfing is Todd’s favourite past-time, it made sense to become a surfing instructor, and pass the fun and his knowledge to others. After working as an instructor for other surf schools, he decided to set up his own school in Esperance, a location with great surf and uncrowded beaches.

He believes that being a surfing instructor and guide is not just about showing people where/how to surf, but equally as importantly about creating a positive and welcoming environment. One where everyone feels completely comfortable, supported and making SURE everyone has that warm and fuzzy feeling in the water and out.

Tide Riders Surf school offers group and private surfing lessons, Surf Wise beginner to intermediate level surfing certificate courses, team building, surfing awareness for kids, adults, parties, school groups, parties, hens and stag parties and corporates. Board rentals are also available.

Sessions are customised to suit your skill level. The focus is on safety and making you feel comfortable – whether it is your first time learning to surf or you are progressing your skills to higher levels.

His students say Todd is encouraging and enthusiastic. It is very easy to get addicted to surfing when you are doing lessons with Todd !
