I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Matty G for 35 years, and I can confidently attest that he is one of the most exceptional individuals I’ve ever met. Matty possesses a unique combination of qualities that make them an outstanding coach , friend , mentor and valued member of the surfing community. Matt’s kindness, empathy, and generosity inspire those around him to be their best selves. His positive attitude, energy, and dedication is contagious! Matt has been pivotal in my success over the years starting as a young grom at 13 years of age during a school holiday camp right through to Tahiti WT event supporting me on my way to a perfect 10 point ride.

From Everyday   Surfers

“I've watched every surf tutorial on YouTube and none of it clicked like Surfers Compass. The way they break down the bottom turn finally made it make sense. My surfing improved more in 6 weeks than in the previous 3 years.”

Tom H.Intermediate — Torquay VIC

“I was sceptical about the breathwork stuff. Seemed a bit woo-woo. But I tried it before a big paddle-out and I could not believe how calm I felt. Now I do it every session. Game changer.”

Sarah K.Intermediate — Newcastle NSW

“I started surfing at 38 with zero athletic background. Surfers Compass gave me a clear path — I wasn't just randomly paddling out and hoping. Six months in I'm catching waves consistently. I'm hooked.”

David L.Beginner — Manly NSW

“I used to dread big days. The mindset sessions completely changed how I approach surf. I still feel nerves but now I know what to do with them. I'm surfing waves I never would have paddled for before.”

Kira B.Intermediate-Advanced — Canggu, Bali

“The surf fitness program is brilliant. My paddle has got so much stronger and I'm way less exhausted after a long session. It's not generic gym stuff — it's made for surfing and you can feel that.”

Ben R.Advanced — Noosa QLD

“At 55 I figured my surfing days of improvement were behind me. Surfers Compass proved me completely wrong. The flexibility and fitness content alone has added years to my surfing. Wish this existed 20 years ago.”

Gary M.Longboarder — Mornington Peninsula VIC

“The community aspect surprised me most. I posted a clip of my cutback and got the most helpful feedback — from real surfers who know their stuff. Feels like having a coach on tap.”

Maya S.Intermediate — Wollongong NSW

“For the price of one surf lesson I get a full month of coaching. The value is ridiculous. I've recommended it to every surfer I know.”

Luke T.Intermediate — Sunshine Coast QLD
