Programs
Beginner
Build your foundation and gain independence
For those just starting out, or not yet able to surf on their own.
Your coach stays with you 100% in the water for the whole session, working on take-off, safety, line-up etiquette, paddling, wave selection and the essential technical fundamentals to build a solid foundation in surfing.

Intermediate
Gain 100% independence.
For those who’ve already started surfing but still need guidance and support in the water.
Here, your coach still stays with you out at sea, but the goal shifts: less and less dependence, and more and more reading, decision-making and independence.
You learn to read the line-up, position yourself better, choose your own waves and understand the ocean, so you can start building your surf independently.

Advanced
Refine your surf.
For those who already surf independently and want to improve technically.
Here, your surfing is watched from the outside. Sessions are filmed to identify patterns, technical adjustments and opportunities to improve that are often hard to notice while you’re surfing.
The pillar of the training is video analysis: watching your own surfing → understanding what needs to change → training with intention.
