Sadler Surf School

Sadler Surf School founder Andrew Sadler is a born-and-raised Tofitian who has spent his life in the ocean and been an avid surfer for the past 14 years. His love and passion for surfing runs deeply in his family as his grandfather Jim Sadler taught himself to surf as one of the pioneering surfers of Tofino. Jim passed his passion for surfing onto his son Harold, who in turn passed his enthusiasm for surfing onto his son Andrew.

Sadler Surf School was born out of the desire to help people have the best experience possible with the sport that has brought the Sadler family so much joy in a way that is safe and respectful to everyone in the water. Sharing joy is one of the best feelings out there! We do that through personal and flexible private surf lessons and coaching that are designed to address the unique needs of each student, regardless of skill level. Beginner and advanced surfers alike will find their surfing experiences enhanced by breaking into the next level of their surfing journey.

Tofino is experiencing an explosion of interest in surfing, and we hope to help manage that growth sustainably and safely so that surfers of all skill levels can enjoy the sport for what it has to offer here on the west coast.
