"Gary is amazing as a surf coach. After retiring from NWBU as all time record games played I was looking for a new sporting adventure. Cue in Gary Egan and his amazing and fanstical 42 South Surf School. Gary personally taught me how to surf on long board because of my impressive statue. I can say enough about the 42 South Surf School and whenever I'm In Tassie I go surfin with Gazza."

"We had a fantastic time with 42 South Surf School. Our school group were engaged and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The sessions were informative and practical and the children were able to work at skills suited to their level. Thanks Gary and Mark for a great day."
