About your surfing coach

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonBeginner skill level will be assessed and lesson plain will be tailored accordingly.
Lesson 2-3As the individual progresses I will begin implementing more advanced techniques and tips to improve their progress.
Lesson 4-10This is the point in my teaching where I no longer am doing everything for you. You begin to understand ocean and surfing dynamics.

Advanced training plan
Your first lessonIf you are an advanced surfer we will catch some waves and I will assess and help wherever I can. I will even do videography so we can break down individual waves and technique.

Youth players
Working with kidsI definitely pay attention to kids more closely and focus on safety as my number one priority.

Working with teenagersIt depends on the skill level but teenagers warrant more autonomy although safety is still top priority.

What you need to bringPersonal board

What I can bringI can bring some wetsuits and boards depending on the size of the student.
