Marcel

Grew up surfing the Gold Coast in the ’80s. During his overseas travels, he developed a real passion for surfing, realising that the ocean had a lot more to offer than just waves. “We can learn so much about life and ourselves from the ocean. I just want to share the joy and happiness it gives to me with everyone else”. Marcel has coached pro surfers to world championship level and won awards for his work coaching people with disabilities. He was 2003 Surfing Queensland Coach of the Year.

Billy

Hailing from the UK, Billy left the cool waters of England behind to pursue his passion for surf coaching here on the Gold Coast, where he now calls home. Billy has surfed all over the world but his favourite place is Portugal not just for the waves but for Pastel de Nata (Portuguese custard tarts)!
