Comments about the training camps...
 “Thanks
for your support and advice, that helped us improve. We appreciate your
commitment, time, and dedication. WE'LL BE BACK!” The girls -

“Martin has been coaching my son, Jonathan Flick, for 5 years. We have been sending him to Australia, or Martin has come to the USA for training camps. Jonathon has consistently improved as a result of the training, and he is currently ranked 1st in the East Coast of the US for Jr. Mens. I truly believe that the success Jonathan has experienced would not have been realized without the superior training of Martin Dunn. My only regret, is that he is not closer to spend more time with him.” Mrs Luann Flick - Stewart, Florida
“As a parent of a developing surfer with clear goals to achieve in the sport, my son Daniel has been fortunate to have had the opportunity to be coached by Martin Dunn at Old Bar in New South Wales. Daniel has flown to Australia from New Zealand, five or six times to stay with Martin and his wife Trish at their coaching base. Every time Daniel has a coaching session with Martin, he takes another step up in skill, technique, and competition development.
Personally, I can assure any prospective parents that Martin and Trish operate an excellent, very professional course with great consideration to the health and welfare of those receiving coaching. I have always found Martin to be honest and forthright in his appraisals of Daniel’s development and prospects.”

work towards their potential.
