Our intermediate/advanced sessions will give you a push in the right direction. All our sessions are tailor made and focus on your goals.

We will begin with some dry-side surf theory and discussion about what areas you want to work on. This will be followed by 2 hours of expert coaching in the water. we will help you iron out any bad habits and encourage you to push boundaries. We also offer the option of a short video analysis of the areas you want to focus on which will be sent directly to you after your lesson. Video analysis is an invaluable tool to breakdown your surfing and help you see exactly what you need to improve on. Your coach will also give you a list of areas to work on and tips to take away and continue to improve on your surf progression journey.

Just one session will fast track your progression and ultimately set you on the right pathway to gaining higher self-awareness and confidence in the water as well as improving your performance, technique and style.
