about

Hi, I’m kirsty!

Born in South Africa enjoying my first waves on the nose of my father’s surfboard from the age of 4, this created a desire to embark on my own surfing journey which led me to the world tour going pro at the age of 14.

My professional surfing career took me around the globe competing against the worlds best, sparking a desire to continue travelling constantly seeking the best waves on the planet and indulge in new adventures.

These past experiences connected me with some of the worlds best surfing locations and people that seek the same satisfactions in life which I am grateful to be able to share with you. 

Now, based in Byron Bay, Australia, I can proudly say that I am beyond grateful to be able to share all my knowledge and passion with my students through tailored coaching in the fine art of surfing. Surfing is one of the hardest sports to master because of the unpredictability of our Mama Ocean, but this is why we love her. She keeps us on our toes – she keeps us wanting more.

“You will never get bored in the ocean because there is so much to learn from every wave. I am still learning every day.”
