At Surf Sanctuary we are uniquely positioned in terms of experience and geography to deliver quality, effective ocean confidence training.
Surf Sanctuary owner Dom Moore has been delivering ocean confidence training since 2012, originally to kitesurfers looking to improve their confidence and performance in surf. For the past few years, the OCC has been expanded to train surfers, paddleboarders, military units, and recreational water users all seeking to address specific concerns.
