Brenda Miley. Surf School Director
AKA: "Bondi Brenda", the high priestess of surfing!
Brenda is one of Sydney's true ambassadors of surfing. She's had a lifelong passion with the sea, having surfed across the world and competed for years locally and up to the National level. She is the National Women's Director of Surfing Australia and President of the Bondi Girls Surfriders Club. A master coach holding Level 1 & Level 2 Surf Coaching accreditations, Brenda also has a Bachelor of Education in Human Movement (with an honours thesis written on competitive surfing!) and 10 years experience as a Personal Development , Health and Physical Education teacher. Lets Go Surfing's progressive direction is the result of these personal experiences with the synthesis of teaching and surfing fulfilling a dream. Brenda has since taught thousands of men, women and children from all around the world to surf and enjoy the ocean. Brenda still competes locally on occasion and devotes her precious spare time to working tirelessly for Surfing Australia, organizing free surfing lessons for the Waverly Action Youth (WAYS) group and delivering public speeches about women's issues.
Craig Wachholz, Kingpin
AKA: Wacca
Behind every great woman, is a good man. For Brenda, that's Craig, who you'll find running around the office taking care of business details and other important stuff. Probably. Craig's a secretive man, so all we can tell you is that he's a good guy (we're paid to say that), more Australian than Paul Hogan (but, er ,who isn't?) and a good surfer (or so he's told us). Beside, we reckon that if he's good enough for Brenda to keep him around, he can't be all bad.

Our Philosophy
Surfing is a unique experience that can be considered both an art form and an athletic pursuit. It is a lifestyle and recreational activity that promotes physical fitness, lower stress, and an healthy outdoor lifestyle. There is nothing better than going for surf - it's very therapeutic! To be able to go surfing after a hectic day's work is great for both body and soul. Surfing is something you can do by yourself or with friends to have fun, keep fit, or get away from it all.
At Lets Go Surfing, we thrive on sharing our surfing knowledge and expertise so that everyone can enjoy the ocean as much as we do. Many people have always wanted to surf but don't know how to go about it, plus the equipment, the ocean, the other surfers and the complexity of surfing may be very daunting to the uninitiated. But when properly shown how, surfing is an activity that everyone can enjoy at their own level. Many of our students have taken one or two lessons, become addicted to surfing, buy their own board and wetsuit and never look back! Others enjoy the personal attention and group atmosphere of lessons and come weekly to surf with their new surfing buddies.
Lets Go Surfing has introduced thousands of people into the world of surfing and exposed them to its benefits of spiritual, emotional and physical well-being. Whatever your goals, surfing is challenging, fun, a great way to keep fit and meet people. Deciding to learn how to surf is guaranteed to open up a whole new way of life for you!
