About Ian 

Ian “Freddie” Warwick is an accomplished surfer (both long and shortboard), surf instructor and a longstanding RLSS qualified lifeguard.

Based in the UK, Ian started surfing in the west Cornwall area at the age of 13 and entered his first local surf competition at the age of 15 (placed second).

At 17 he took a different career path that took him all over the world and set him in a teaching environment from the age of 21. 

He moved back to west Cornwall in 2008 and settled in to being a full time surf coach at Gwithian Academy of Surfing where we currently find him as the head coach and ASI Trainer for surf instructors.
