Surf Coaching

If you’ve been surfing for a little while, you know how hard it can be to progress from one stage to another. The plateau effect can feel very real. A coaching session can help you move past these hurdles. We offer 2 different types of Surf Coaching sessions aimed to develop and refine your skills as a surfer!

This type of lesson is best suited for surfers who can catch green waves consistently.

Video Review

Video Coaching is most suited for students who can catch green waves with ease, and are looking to have their surf quirks exposed, to help progress their surfing skills. You’ll meet your surf coach at an agreed upon location, based on your preference and surf conditions, discuss your surfing background and objectives to help your coach select drills to practice in the water. During your surf, your coach will be videoing you from the shore. After the session, you’ll have a quick post-surf recap. Then you’ll receive a Google Drive link of your session with commentary from Ali, analyzing each wave from start to finish, giving you feedback and advice on your surfing. Whilst being videoed can be initially daunting, it’s one of the best tools to work on progressing your surfing skills to the next level!

Prices start at $125 + GST, $25 for each additional surfer (Max.5)

Duration: 1.5hours in the water

In-Water Coaching

In water coaching is great for anyone who wants to work on refining or progressing certain skills and have instant feedback on each wave. Same as in video coaching, we’ll meet at the parking lot, talk about your objectives and we’ll come up with drills and things to work on in the water. Having your coach in the water can be really useful for those who may struggle with positioning prior to catching and riding the wave. Your coach will put you in the best possible spot for smooth and fun rides! After each wave, you can paddle back to your instructor for feedback and to set you up for the next wave!

Prices start at $110 + GST a person, up to 3 people

Duration: 2hours in the water
