COACHES
Aurelie Poles
Robert Underwood
Surf Coach
Growing up in Narrabeen Sydney, his earliest memories of the ocean were when his father tossed him into the waves as a young boy and he’s been hooked ever since.
Surfing is second nature to him and there has not been much time without a surfboard hooked under his arm and he knew he wanted to share this love with others.
He is a location manager for the world renowned Manly Surf School, in Sydney, Australia. Teaching to the thousands of eager learn-to-surf tourists and locals alike, he knows how to coach anyone into catching a wave.
You may even have seen him on the television series, Manly Surf, where he was able to take his love for surfing to a global audience! Throughout his time in Manly he also travelled extensively throughout Europe, America, and Asia coaching and surfing!
He began guiding boat trips in The Maldives back in 2010 and spends the surf season between The Maldives, Indo and Australia making sure all visiting guests reach their highest surf potential!
He is beyond excited to be guiding these retreats and is confident he will change your relationship with the ocean.
