ADVANCED SURF LESSONS

What are advanced surf lessons?

Advanced surf lessons are designed for people who want to refine and perfect maneuvers such as cutbacks, floaters, and bottom turns.

We offer a few options for advanced coaching, depending on your goals and current level.

Option 1 – Advanced Private Coaching. Duration 2.5 hours

The advanced private lesson uses a combination of in-water coaching and video analysis, allowing the coach to help refine your maneuvers in the water. As well as reviewing the footage to help identify mistakes & optimise techniques.

Option 2 – Private Surf Lesson. Duration 2 hours

The private surf lesson is a two-hour bespoke session. Before the lesson, you will fill out a small pre-lesson assessment to give an idea of your ability and what you are looking to achieve. This option does not include video analysis.
