Cory Moore: Burleigh, Barrels and Building a Business of your Dreams

Cory Moore is a volunteer lifeguard, surfing coach and the founder of Little Frothers surfing school, a surf school that is all about having fun and enjoying youth. 

Cory is blessed to live in beautiful Burleigh Heads, the Northernmost headland in the series of point breaks that make up the Gold Coast.

He uses his 25 years experience surfing and the memory of how much he frothed over surfing as a kid to fuel his passion in teaching not only kids but big kids at heart to improve their surfing not only in the ocean but on land as well.

He is ardent about life, sports and the ocean, he has invested a shit ton of his time travelling to major surf breaks all over the world, however he still believes that the best barrel of his life was in his own backyard with the 12 foot tube at Burleigh!

Cory left a well paid job and started a wonderful school in one of the most amazing surfing spots in the world for all of those who want to learn how to surf in a captivating and exciting environment. He learned a lot in the way and recognizes that starting a business requires a lot of time, work and effort, but deeply believes that a lot of it depends on the attitude and enthusiasm you face it with.

• Generate income in your business by offering more things to your clients. “If I have one frother, what else can I offer him?”
• Learn the biomechanics of surfing by using surf skates on land. “Bogging the rail in surf is quite common, I want to be able to show that on land”. 
• Success is about happiness and health, and that depends on a positive attitude. Stay focused with what you want to do and avoid negative people.“Learn when to say no and when to say yes”
• Become a good coach by relating in a positive and personal way with people. “Staying focussed comes down to how good at coaching you can be to somebody, how you can relate to somebody in a sense to make them feel comfortable”
• Having a coach can help you improve your performance in any sport or any specific task in your career “As a little boy I didn’t have someone come with me surfing and I have realized how long it took me to get good”
