Surf School and lifestyle education

Surf Lessons with Soul

Soul Surfing Surf School is a family owned and operated business in Port Macquarie. Well actually its more a passion and a way of life! Owners Corey and Loren Enfield live and breathe surfing, yoga and the healthy lifestyle that these bring. Together with their four kids ranging in ages from 14 to 22years, this salty mob would love to share their experience with you.

In nearly 2 decades of operating a surf school, Corey and Loren with their talented team of instructors, have enabled thousands of people of all ages to learn to surf. With 114 years of combined surfing experience within their family alone, Soul Surfing is a great choice to learn how to surf in a fun and safe environment.

Acknowledgment of Barray: Soul Surfing exists on the majestic lands of Birpai Country, Barray.
Our deep connection to the beautiful earth and ocean (gurrya) extends to the first peoples, our custodians.
In gratitude and with delight we keep a relationship to these bonds in all we do.
All Soul Surfing events are run from heart space (Yuki) and full of respect to the elders past and present on Birpai land. Come and join us at one of our events and you'll notice our love of country and all it's sovereign beings of Earth.

We provide a variety of services and products
to meet everyone's needs and abilities

Kick Start Your Surfing

Not sure what to do? Come for an introductory surf lesson to see what you think. From here we can work out how you want to proceed in a way that suits you. There is no obligation other than having fun which we provide as an added bonus :)

We make surfing easy, fun and unforgettable. Years of experience have helped us design teaching methods that adapt to your needs and work quickly. Soul Surfing is dedicated to helping every student get that perfect wave.

My partner and I tried both Surf Schools in Port Macquarie during a recent holiday, and of the two, we both agree that Soul Surfing is definitely the best. In fact, it wasn't until we went to Soul Surfing that we realised just how short-changed we were at the competition - where the instruction amounted to little more than "here's a board, here's how you stand up, now get out in the water and practice". At Soul Surfing, the instruction came after every wave - "less of this, more of that, bend your knees, look up more, more weight on your front foot etc etc etc". And what do you know - at the end of the lesson we were surfing and LOVING it. Highly recommended."

 Well I'm always working on constantly everything. I never take the approach that I'm doing as well as I possibly can... I always think there's more and I think if you don't have that, you are not driven to be better.

Owner / Head Coach
I have been head coach from the moment we began our surf school. For the first 2 years (nearly 20 years ago), I spent months developing the best techniques to use for beginner students. Today these techniques remain in use and have proven to be the easiest, fastest, and most effective techniques to progress surfing skills.

An understanding of human behaviour as well as spotting strengths and weaknesses in an individual remains one of my greatest abilities. Being able to communicate and share with students the knowledge required to improve is a skill few possess.

YOU and your best foot forward into life is my PASSION!

I aim to help children, adolescents (those breezing through these years as well as those struggling), mothers, adults and holiday makers make memories that are treasured forever.

I love making surf lessons valuable, educational, challenging and life reflecting, all while having a blast learning the thrills, spills and skills of learning to surf! Whether this be in 1 surf lesson, a series of surf lessons on a uniquely beautiful health and wellbeing surf / yoga retreat or program. Helping you reach your goals is my passion!
Surfing and Yoga - teaching or personally enjoying are rich heart led experiences every time.
We're also a family who love to surf

Soul Surfing Family
Port Macquarie’s Innovative Surf School is a family run business operated by Corey and Loren Enfield. Together we have surfed for a combined 100+ years and have always surfed for the pure love, joy, and fun it brings to us. Developing a business around our passion is our pleasure. All our four children love to surf too, even when competing.

We continue to develop new and interesting surf programs built from our experiences so we can lead through innovation. Being able to help someone fall in love with the joy of surfing is the most satisfying reward. Just ask any number of our students why they love to surf with us and it becomes clear why we love what we do and also why we are good at it.

The progression into building surfboards was a natural process (albeit challenging), as we could see that the right surfboard is the most important factor to really enjoy surfing.

If you really want to learn about what sort of board is right for you then make time to talk to Corey and we guarantee it will be enlightening and rewarding.
