Ocean-Focused Surf Coaching in Margaret River
At Margaret River Surfing Academy (MRSA), we believe surfing transforms lives. Beyond physical fitness, surfing builds confidence, resilience, and mental wellbeing. Our mission is to share this experience with as many people as possible, helping individuals and teams connect with the ocean while developing skills they can carry into daily life.
MRSA offers private lessons, group lessons, guided tours, and performance coaching for all ages and abilities. Our programs focus on safety, ocean awareness, and skill development, ensuring participants become confident and capable surfers in a variety of conditions. All coaches are First Aid trained, hold Surf Rescue or Bronze Medallion certifications, and are accredited through Surfing Western Australia.
Founded in 2022 by Simon and Asha Tien, MRSA is a family-run business based in Gracetown. Simon, a Registered Paramedic with a Master’s in Mental Health, has surfed and coached for over 30 years, tackling world-class waves globally.
Through Brain Waves, Simon brings corporate leadership, wellbeing, and team-building programs to MRSA experiences. These evidence-based programs help teams develop resilience, communication, problem-solving skills, and mental fitness — making MRSA not just a surf school, but a hub for transformative corporate and personal growth experiences.
