Our coaching programme develops technique alongside ocean awareness. Every level has clear objectives, from stable take-offs and board control to advanced line choice, speed management and competition-specific decision-making.
One clear objective per set creates better learning than trying to change everything at once.
Ability is assessed by control and decision-making rather than how long someone has surfed. Members can move between levels as their independence, wave choice and technical consistency improve.
For new surfers and those rebuilding fundamentals. Sessions develop efficient paddling, stable pop-up mechanics, trim, directional control and safe positioning around other surfers.
For surfers regularly catching unbroken waves who want better speed, positioning and consistency. Coaching connects line choice with bottom-turn shape and section reading.
For confident surfers refining advanced surfing or preparing for heats. The work becomes more tactical, with emphasis on completion rate, variation and decision quality under pressure.
Members learn a repeatable observation routine before entering the water. Rather than treating conditions as background, we use them as part of the training objective.
“A surfer who reads the next thirty seconds well often looks technically faster because they arrive in the right place.”
Coaching stays practical. The group receives a short plan, spends the majority of the session surfing and finishes with a focused review that identifies the next useful priority.
Coach and surfers identify the likely take-off zone, useful reference points, current movement and the best objective for the available waves.
Each surfer receives a manageable cue such as “stay compressed through the first turn” or “look to the exit before redirecting”.
The coach tracks wave choice, positioning, completion and whether the selected cue changes the outcome. Feedback is short enough to apply on the next opportunity.
The session ends with two questions: what became more repeatable, and what deserves attention next time? This keeps progress measurable without overloading the surfer.
Body alignment, stroke rhythm, acceleration and choosing when to spend energy.
Recognising shape, entry angle, likely open face and when leaving a wave is the smarter choice.
Using compression, rotation and pressure to set a line rather than forcing the board through a turn.
Balancing speed, timing and manoeuvre choice so one turn creates the setup for the next.
Bring a board you can control confidently for your current level, a secure leash, suitable surf wear for the conditions, water, sun protection and any personal equipment you normally use for a coastal session. If you are unsure about board choice, ask before the session so the coaching objective and equipment are aligned.
Please arrive early enough for the shore briefing. Late entry can mean missing the condition read and the technical cue that shapes the rest of the session.
No. Club training serves both recreational and competition-focused surfers. Competition content is introduced only when it supports your goals and current level.
We look at paddling independence, take-off consistency, board control, wave selection and how comfortably you manage a normal lineup. Time spent surfing is useful context, but it is not the deciding factor.
The session plan changes. Coaching may shift toward positioning, paddling efficiency, wave reading or another skill that suits the available surf. The goal is productive water time, not forcing a plan onto the wrong conditions.
Yes. A focused assessment can identify where decision-making or technique is limiting consistency and can be used to set priorities before joining ongoing club training.
