Sam ~ Head Coach + Owner

Currarong Surf School is locally owned and operated by Sam Coulthart (nee* White). Sam grew up in Currarong and has been surfing here for over 25 years. As a former competitive longboarder, Sam has multiple State Championship titles to her name, and thus a wealth of knowledge to all things ocean + surfing! While you wouldn’t guess it when you see her suited up in a wetsuit & layers of zinc most days, Sam is also a qualified Lawyer!

Sam’s passion is making people happy, and those of you who have seen her in the surf will see from her excited smile, that is what surfing + teaching surfing does for her! After taking what she thought would be a short hiatus from practicing law, Sam committed to a lifelong dream, completed her qualifications with Surfing Australia, and founded Currarong Surf School.

Laura ~ Assistant Coach

Ocean addict + good vibe creator are the ways we’d describe Coach Laura!

Always with a smile and up-beat energy, Laura’s passion for surfing has grown at a rapid pace over the past 5 years. Unlike most, Laura learnt to surf as an adult, and this aspect of Laura’s surfing journey brings so much wisdom and relateability to her students. Looking forward to a summer filled with fun, encouragement + plenty of epic waves with Coach Laura!
