Over the past few months, my partner and I have been doing regular surf lessons with Ash, and honestly, it’s been a bit of a game changer for my surfing.Ash has so much knowledge, but what I really love is how calm and easy she is in the water—it makes such a difference, especially when you’re still building confidence. I didn’t grow up in the ocean, so I can get a bit nervous, but she’s given me the tools to feel more comfortable and actually enjoy it more.Before working with Ash, I felt a bit stuck and was probably just reinforcing bad habits. Now I feel like I’m actually progressing and improving each session (even if she still has to remind me of a few things ).One of my favourite moments was my partner jokingly saying, “Nice one Eddy” after I took on a “big wave” he was nervous about—that felt pretty good!My partner’s loving it too and has improved heaps—he’s even started competing in local surf club comps, which has been really fun to watch.If you’re thinking about learning to surf or want to improve, I can’t recommend Ash enough. She’s not just a great surfer, she’s a natural coach who really helps you progress and have more fun in the water

I’ve had the privilege of learning from Ashlee Browne, and I can’t recommend her highly enough as a surf coach.

What sets Ash apart is her incredible ability to take the technical aspects of surfing and explain them in a way that just makes sense. She breaks down complex concepts into everyday language, making them easy to understand and, more importantly, easy to apply in the water.

Ash is also exceptionally patient. She takes the time to understand where you’re at, offers encouragement without pressure, and creates an environment where you feel comfortable learning and improving at your own pace.

In the surf, Ash is highly respected, and it’s easy to see why. She leads by example with professionalism, kindness, and a genuine passion for helping others become better surfers. She’s also incredibly reliable, you know she’ll show up prepared, committed, and focused on getting the best out of every session.

Whether you’re learning to surf for the first time or ready to take the next step in your surfing, Ash has the knowledge, experience, and coaching style to help you achieve your goals. She builds confidence, develops skills, and makes every session enjoyable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to surfers of any age or ability.

I’ve been taking lessons with Ash for almost two years, starting as a complete beginner, and she has been fundamental to my surfing journey. Her approach has been entirely tailored to what I needed at the right time, which has helped me progress and continue to fall in love with surfing and being in the water. Ash provides coaching not just on technique, but also how to read the conditions, surf etiquette and confidence to push where I wouldn’t have done otherwise. She is an incredibly talented coach, I would recommend her for anyone wanting to learn or progress their surfing at any level.
