Newcastle Surf School

Newcastle Surf School operates across three beaches in the Newcastle and Lake Macquarie area of NSW: Nobby's Beach, Blacksmiths Beach, and Caves Beach. The site states the school has been running for 25 years (as of 2024), with founder Dan Frodsham named in a blog post marking that anniversary. Services listed include open group lessons, private group lessons, one-on-one lessons, surf coaching, a 'Surf into Summer' program, the after-school 'Ocean Active Kids' program, surfing camps, birthday parties, mobility clinics, and school holiday and Christmas holiday programs, catering to all ages and levels from beginner to advanced. Two-hour group lessons include soft, safe surfboards, wetsuits, and sun shirts. No specific certifications or formal accreditation body, such as Surfing Australia, are stated on the site.
