  Surfcoach.com is the virtual face of Martin Dunn’s surf coaching programs and training products. Martin, with over 15 years of experience coaching motivated surfers conducts live-in surf camps throughout the year. The main aim of these camps is to improve the participating surfer’s technique and wave usage skills, with competition training included if required.

Old Bar The camps are conducted at Old Bar, on the 
Mid North Coast of New South Wales, Australia. 
Surfers attending, train in a group situation 
[ maximum 6 participants ], but focus on the 
individual skills that need improvement. Surfers 
are videoed daily, having their performances 
assessed, and undertake surf drills to improve 
their current performance level.

At the completion of each camp, surfers so away with a unique understanding of their current 
performance level, what they must do to advance to the next level, and specific directions 
(surf training and training cards) on how to achieve permanent performance improvement.

Surfer’ and Parent’s 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 - Girls camp 1999



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. Jonathan FlickI 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.

NZ Boys with MartinPersonally, 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.”         Bruce Scott - Piha, New Zealand
