"We at the Wedge Surf School will always make you feel comfortable in what you choose to achieve in our lessons to your ability."Damion and Robin Treloar
"Damion's method of teaching, his rapport with the kids and his friendly, encouraging attitude were all to be commended. By the end of the first lesson, both the children were catching unbroken waves with the help of their friendly coach. Also, on the third day I decided that if the kids could do it, then so could I. I'm 52 years old
. he had me up on my feet (very wobbly) by the end of the first lesson. I had 4 lessons in all and by the last lesson I was catching small unbroken waves myself, surfing along the waves, simple turning and riding them in to the beach. I might not have looked as "pretty" as the kids while I was up, but what a fun time we had. It was like my childhood re-visited. I have to mention again how great it was to have Damion as our coach. He was fun, knowledgeable, he really related to the kids and myself and was extremely encouraging."Vicki Kirss, Adelaide
"Thanks heaps for all the judging and assistance at the country competition - the boardridng wouldn't have been the success that it was without your help and expertise. "Ian Everingham, Surf Coordinator, South West Rocks Surf Club
"Some great results (in the country boardriding competition) and hopefully the guys will stick with it, a great effort to get a few medals. Thanks to Damo for his perserverance & guidance with the kids."Rod McDonagh, President South West Rocks Surf Club, Northern NSW Boating Officer Waterways
"Since August 2005, Damion and his wife Robin have been the preferred surf school, used by Kempsey PCYC for club and police programmes. Many of these young people are the top 10 offenders in the Kempsey and some have behavioural issues that challenge the most patient and understanding people. Damion and Robin have always conducted themselves in the most composed, patient, and professional manner and I have no hesitation in recommending them to provide surfing instruction to any individual or organisation. "Ian Robinson, PCYC Kempsey

South West Rocks MAP
South West Rocks, New South Wales, Australia is the ideal holiday and getaway location. Not only offering surfing but a variety of other sports including mountain bike riding, kayaking, fishing, diving and best of all whale watching. Also visit the historic Trial Bay Goal - set in the national park.
We dont need a boat to see the whales. They come right into our coast, only 50 metres from the shore. I have had a very exciting experience of a huge whale only 20 feet next to me while doing a patrol in a lifesaving boat.
It happens. South West Rocks is the place to relax but you can still find the rush in your selected sport.
