  • Lewis Van Roon

    Lead Coach

    Lewis has spent eight years coaching surfers of every level, and most of his life either in the water or filming it. With a background in body movement and yoga, he draws on both to help surfers find their flow, working as much on mindset as mechanics. He is also a professional lifeguard with Surf Life Saving Queensland and a drone videographer. Lewis leads our intermediate and advanced group programs and coaches privately across all levels, building surfers who move better, read waves better, and back themselves in bigger conditions.
