THE TEAM

Bringing several decades of experience (!) to your session...each our our team are qualified to ISA Level 2 surf coach or equivalent, BSUPA Level 2 sup coach and RLSS beach lifeguard or equivalent.

NICO MURLOWSKI

Nico has been riding and vibing with us at Surf Sanctuary for years, and in 2017 we were especially stoked when he formally joined our coaching team. As well as a lifelong connection with surfing and the ocean, Nico is an adept skier, speaks French, makes great cocktails and generates  35kw of power with each paddle stroke.

FRANKIE FOX

Cool, calm collected and with a work rate that would make an Iditarod racing husky think twice, Frankie aka Franco is 100% diagnosed addicted to the ocean. Surf, coasteer (all tides!), SUP and snorkel form the portfolio of this modern day incarnate of Boris Becker circa Wimbledon '86. You'll see what we mean ;)
