Book a Surf Lesson with Margaret River Surfing Academy
Hiring a board is a great way to surf Margaret River — but if you're new to surfing, or returning after a few years away, you'll progress faster, stay safer, and have far more fun with a proper lesson first. That's why Margaret River Surf Hire works hand-in-hand with our parent business, Margaret River Surfing Academy (MRSA) — the region's first established surf school.
A 2-hour beginner lesson with MRSA before your hire isn't an upsell. It's the smartest thing you can do.
Why Learn to Surf with MRSA
Margaret River Surfing Academy is the first established surf school in the Margaret River region — founded by local surf legend Josh Palmateer and now family-run by Simon and Asha Tien. We're the same family business behind Margaret River Surf Hire.
But what makes MRSA genuinely different is who's leading the coaching. Simon Tien is a registered paramedic, a Master's-qualified mental health practitioner, and an active big-wave surfer with more than 30 years of experience along Western Australia's coastline. No other surf school in the state combines that depth of clinical, safety, and ocean expertise.
✅ Tourism WA Endorsed Operator ✅ Quality Tourism Australia Accredited ✅ WA Dream Collective Member ✅ Led by a Registered Paramedic ✅ $20M Public Liability Insurance ✅ 30+ Years Local Coaching Heritage
