25.01.2022 Hi everyone, Im Mel, a friend of Josh & Sahs (though maybe no longer after this) and I have hacked his account (melismyfavouritefriendintheworld isnt the most secure password) because I am loving the pics you guys are sending. Can I ask everyone who has any old photos, vids, newspaper clips etc to post them straight onto the Surf Academys page? We can use them for his 70th birthday, which is coming up soon Im going to really push the friendship and offer a free kayak/canoe/board hire for best post without clearing it with Josh first Start digging through your archives!

24.01.2022 All of our coaches were so impressed today after teaching surfing to a group of returned service men / women and their families from a very worthy organization "Soldier On". We had fairly solid 4 - 6 ft swell pounding in at river mouth and every single one of you just dug in and smashed it. Amazing effort. You guys are legends !!! Looking forward to see you all again soon.

21.01.2022 Hi Everyone Apologies for the devastating photo I am writing on behalf of our neighbourhood with grave concerns about the local wildlife in particular native fauna and birds, who are being poisoned by people unintentionally from the use of the pesticide Pindone (commonly known as Bunny Bait) for the control of rabbits on their properties. Sarah Palmateer has witnessed over the last 5 months the deaths of 3 magpies (possibility of 7 now) 1 ring tail possum and 2 weeks ago thi...s pink and grey galah (photographed) Emails were sent to all the neighbouring properties and the general consensus is that they have also noticed dead or dying birds or a decline in bird numbers at their place. Pindone is a readily available poison that comes in a treated oat form that affects all native animals and birds and also has secondary poisoning effects. Please contact Sarah with any concerns with you areas wildlife moralities on 0429 685 837. If you find any fresh specimens then please double bag them and put into your fridge (not freezer) and call ASAP. Together we can stop this with the systematic spread of the calici virus on treated carrots which does not have the devastating effects to native wildlife and domestic pets (yet is very effective still on targeting rabbits). We are keen to know the communities thoughts and any help or comments will be appreciated T T

19.01.2022 Summer is coming and so are the local grommies as they join up for another sensational year of Weet-Bix Surf Groms. Last year was a great success and its awesome to see all the kids having fun with much more confidence and knowledge after the program. As usual we will be running at the amazing aquatic playground known as the Rivermouth. Josh and his team of highly qualified coaches will be offering kids aged 5 to 12 the opportunity to learn how to surf and more importantly s...urf safety, ocean knowledge and respect of the environment. For added fun and experience we can throw in Stand Up Paddle Boarding and Kayaking. All equipment is supplied plus every participant receives a Weet-Bix surfgrom pack which includes a Quicksilver or Roxy backpack, rashie,hat and more.. Courses start in 2 weeks time and run all summer. To find out details go to www.surfgroms.com then click on "program finder" then type in Josh Palmateers Surf Academy. If you would like any more info please phone Josh or Sarah on 97573850 or 0418 958 264. See more

19.01.2022 Jac Teague one of our coaches said this young bloke got one of the heaviest wipeouts he had seen at river mouth for a while but in true "Soldier On" spirit he battled on and ended up a stand out of the day. Top effort

18.01.2022 Blast from the past - a mate just sent me this old clipping from back in 1987 when I made the Australian Surfing team and ended up finishing 4th in the world titles. 31 years ago ... makes a guy feel kinda old school!

17.01.2022 Surf coaching the groms - Mitcho and Charsie.

16.01.2022 Thanks, Ilce Orak for sending us this video. Its so important to remember how dangerous the conditions can get at our rivermouth. It wasnt a simple paddle out and rescue this day, thats for sure. The good news is we have our local lifesavers down here for the summer now so please everyone - listen to these guys, say hi and thank them for keeping us all safe so we can enjoy the surf. Yeewwwww!

15.01.2022 Here are some great shots of the students from MR Independant school enjoying their surfing session down at river mouth the other day. Riding the river out and surfing back in.Great day !! The pis are courtesy of Stewart Allen. Thanks heaps mate. Josh

12.01.2022 Hi everyone A big thank you to all the locals who turned up for the paddle up the Margaret River Mouth with the Wadandi Traditional Owners. And a special thank you to Wayne ( Wonitji ), Toni and Iszaac Webb. It was extremely moving and spiritual and an honour to hear Zac Call to Country ( Boodji ) and ancestors to paddle up the river. Thanks also to Drew and Tracey from Surfrider Foundation for making the event happen. Zac Wayne and Toni gave such a informative and passionate... Cultural tour. It was a fantastic turn out with 100 people that showed their love and support to care for the beautiful Wooditchup Bilya ( Margaret River) and also showing their appreciation for the local Indigenous people. We hope to run more of these types of events in the future. Cheers everyone Josh and Sarah See more

10.01.2022 "Mel" one of the young ladies with the Soldier On group this weekend had never surfed before and just took to surfing like a duck to water. A perfect style.Nice!!

10.01.2022 Hi Grommies We have another Local Grommie Surfing Course scheduled for Saturday 16th Feb Saturday 23rd Feb Saturday 2nd March... Lesson times are 9.30 am - 11.30 am Cost $120 + GST per grom. If you are keen to join the course please contact me on 0418 958 264 to book. Thanks Josh

09.01.2022 Check out Miss Charsy ... we posted her on Friday night in a video and this was yesterday morning. Yeeewww! Awesome improvement in 2 lessons. Keep charging, Charlie. #margaretriversurf

08.01.2022 Hi you guys. Just a quick reminder rally for the river is tomorrow at 5.45pm at the Rotary Park (Old Kate, Duck park). Please make the effort to come as without people support we risk doing irreversible damage along the river banks. Support from the community will show Councillors we do not want this track. Weve had fantastic support but tomorrow is the time to stand for what you believe in. Protection of the river starts now! See you there. J&S

06.01.2022 Happy Birthday, darling Sahsie. We love you. Love Mel xo

06.01.2022 This little bloke was a little ripper at surf coaching today he had a crack at everything.Nice work buddy.

03.01.2022 A big thank you to the huge turn out of Margaret River locals and the wider community that support us. Really appreciate the diverse mob that turned up and the messages of encouragement. Next immediate step before this Wednesday is emailing local Councillors with our objections. You can contact us for more info or look on the Shire website for their email contacts direct. Email or come (or both) on Wednesday 5.30pm to the meeting at the Shire offices in town to show we care. Bad things happen when good people do nothing!

02.01.2022 Hey guys, Check out this video the US Consulate General team did when he used our kayaks to go up our beautiful Margaret River. Awesome footage! Check out the lovely day we had last week paddling on the Margarert River with OUT South West. Thanks to Josh Palmateers Surf Academy & Margaret River Mouth Beach Hire.

02.01.2022 Hey everyone The Margaret River needs local support! Please join our rally this Tuesday the 20th at 5.45pm @ Rotary Park to support the preservation of the Margaret River. We feel I have a duty of care to the amazing river to protect and preserve this special place. ... We are afraid that a walking track along the banks of the Margaret River will open a can of worms.... sanitary issues, pollution/rubbish, increased fire risk and a negative impact on the fragile ecosystem that does not need to be exposed to tourism. The river should be preserved for future generations. If we cant protect 3kms of the Margaret River what hope do we have for the rest of the south west if not the world. We plea to countymen, locals, tourists, greenies, surfers, bikies, bogans, hippies, rednecks and grommies (as you are the future of this river) to come together to help do whats right for the mighty Wooditchup (Margaret River). Cheers Sarah & Josh

02.01.2022 Kids Christmas presents sorted!
