Why we exist

No performance. No pressure.

It's about small wins, support, and finding your feet (and your breath) in the water.

Ben Quarrie, founder

“Surfing became a place where I felt confident, grounded and connected. I want every kid to find that.”

I started surfing at 10 and coaching at 12. Coaching alongside my own mentor showed me how much a safe, supportive approach matters – especially for beginners who feel nervous.

One student was terrified of the water at first. A few sessions later he was riding waves with confidence. Moments like that are why I started Foamy Frothers.
