SILVIA DUNDERDALE – The Surf School Owner, Administrator & “THE BOSS”
Silvia loves the surf school. Having learned to surf as recently as 2001, after only three lessons in the UK she went straight to Bali and surfed Kuta Beach. After less than a week of surfing, Silvia took on her first reef wave at the world famous “impossibles” break on the Bukit peninsula where she claims to have been “beaten up on several occasions by some really fun waves”. Still counting herself as a beginner, Silvia spends every moment she can surfing.
SCOTT DUNDERDALE - The Surf School Founder & Head Coach
Scott started body surfing in 1962 at the age of 5, developing his waterman skills in the warm waters of the southern Mediterranean. He travelled the world with family and even from this early age was always looking for waves. Having visited over 60 countries he chose to settle in the beautiful seaside town of St Ives.With over 35 years' of surfing experience, Scott has been instrumental since the early 90s in the development of next-generation surf schools and surfing experiences. While coaching surfers of all ages and abilities, he has gained a deep insight into what works for people that want to learn to surf or improve their existing surfing abilities.
For the last 11 years Scott has introduced people to the thrills of surfing in places as diverse as the Canary Islands (where he established the first British Surfing Association approved surf school outside of the UK), Bali, Sri Lanka and Oman as well, of course, as in the UK, combining his knowledge of education, training and counseling to provide a unique learning experience. He heads a team that are dedicated to excellence in surf coaching.
Scott is a level 3 surf coach (which means he is qualified to coach up to elite squad level) and also a trainer / assessor of surf coaches for the British Surfing Association. In addition he is a member of the BSA's Coaching Committee.
