THE COACHING

In‑water instructors for real‑time technique tweaks

Instructors remain in the water alongside surfers to offer immediate, hands-on guidance on technique and positioning, keeping feedback tied directly to each wave and each ride.

THE FOCUS

Technical improvement and smarter wave selection

Sessions emphasize practical technical drills and advice on which waves to pick, with coaching targeted to the individual rider’s level to accelerate skill gains.

THE FORMAT

Small groups and flexible durations

With a 5:1 surfer-to-instructor ratio and the option to book custom-length lessons, the format keeps groups small so instructors can deliver tailored, confidence-building instruction; session bundles are also available for purchase.

The session is concentrated and hands-on: expect a focused two-hour block (standard) where coaches remain in the lineup, calling out wave choices, positioning, and technical adjustments as you paddle and ride. Instruction is individualized within the small group, with drills and repeated attempts designed to turn specific feedback into immediate improvements.
