Your Coach

Hi, my name is Mark Perana and I would love to be your coach.

No matter if you are a beginner, aspiring to be a surfer or you are more advanced and want to improve on those tricks - you have come to the right place.

In my past I had the honor of coaching top level surfers, judging national surfing events and even did some successful competitive surfing myself holding several NZ titles.

Have a look at the different packs I am offering and if you need something individual - just contact me and we will cater something up.

Hope to see you soon!
Mark
