About us
Your friendly local Surf Instructor : (Steve) Stephen Freeman Head Coach, Owner and Director of Surf Safe Ltd. Established 2010
People say I am a laid back kiwi now Raglan local with an intense passion for watersports and tries hard to practice what he preaches.
I have experience and qualifications in teaching waterskiing, wakeboarding, stand up paddle, swimming and surfing.
The lifestyle I have chosen took me to Europe to find myself and get a plan together for the rest of my life and that plan always gravitated me to coastal towns.
Travelling, instructing, meeting new people and surfing around the world was an incredible experience that now helps me relate to my customers here at Surf Safe.
Been surfing now for 36 years and a surf coach for 13 years, 11 of those years in Raglan NZ. I frequently wake up and know I still love surfing and still need surfing.
Countries I had to surf were the North & South Island of New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii, Canary Islands, Spain, Portugal, France, England and Greece.
Travelling really opened my mind to the big picture and helped me understand the global surf industry and surf culture.
I now help the Whaingaroa Raglan community to implement a plan that protects its surf culture and beautiful coastal environment.
Looking forward to sharing the ocean and waves with you soon...............
