Personal, Friendly and Effective Surf Coaching
In the past, surf instruction has been reserved for complete beginners receiving a basic introduction to the sport or elite surfers looking to become professionals. Our goal, to bridge the gap by providing professional surf coaching for recreational surfers of all levels and abilities. Surfing can be enjoyed by basically anyone but unfortunately many beginners throw in the towel because they feel like surfing is beyond their reach. It’s not! with the right instruction, knowledge and a little will power you can break into a sport that just keeps on giving.
We Develop your Surfing from the Ground Up
Whether you are learning how to catch green waves or how to launch airs, one thing is vital – correct technique of the basic surf skills. Many surfers develop bad habits that hinder their ability to improve which is why when teaching beginners we help them develop and master the correct technique from the start, paving a clear road for progression. When it comes to working with intermediate and advanced surfers there is often a couple of small tweaks that can be made to drastically open up their ability to progress. For example, a small fix as simple as slightly altering your foot positioning can be the answer to developing a more dynamic cutback. Rather than overloading information we break it up, providing you with single things to work on at a time that will help develop your surfing as a whole.
What Makes our Coaches Different
Our team are not only great surfers they are great communicators.
I once viewed a world champion surfer delivering a basic beginner surf lesson to a professional rugby team for a television show. I was shocked at how mediocre the instruction was, as a result, the students who were conditioned athletes struggled to even catch waves. Our coaches are natural teaches that have a passion for developing peoples surfing technique as well as their own and we believe this makes all the difference.
