Beginner training plan
Your first lessonWe’ll start on the beach covering ocean safety, surf etiquette, and wave basics before moving into paddling technique, the pop-up, and proper stance. Once in the water, I’ll push you into small, safe waves so you can get your first wave and build confidence right away.
Lesson 2-3Once you’ve had your first taste of surfing, we’ll work on choosing the right waves, positioning yourself in the lineup, and paddling into waves without assistance. You’ll refine your pop-up, start turning with gentle weight shifts, and learn how to ride down the line with more control.
Lesson 4-10These sessions focus on building speed, improving positioning, and linking basic maneuvers like bottom turns and cutbacks. You’ll learn to read the ocean more effectively, choose better waves, and surf with consistency and style, setting you up to handle more challenging conditions.
Lesson 11+At this stage, you’ll be confidently catching waves on your own, so the focus shifts to refining technique and exploring more challenging conditions. We’ll work on generating and maintaining speed, improving flow between maneuvers, and reading the lineup like a seasoned surfer. You’ll start practicing more advanced turns, better wave selection, and adapting to different breaks so you can surf with confidence anywhere.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonWe’ll start with a detailed evaluation of your surfing, either in real time or with pre recorded clips, so we can pinpoint your strengths and areas for improvement. From there we’ll set specific performance goals and begin working on high impact adjustments like shoulder alignment, stance refinement, and body positioning to unlock more power and flow.
