THE COACHING

Advanced, personalized instruction

This Master Class focuses on advanced technique and progression: instructors provide one-on-one attention during an extended three-hour lesson so experienced surfers can work on higher-level maneuvers and decision-making in varying surf.

THE EQUIPMENT

Ride a variety of expert-level boards

Students cycle through multiple professional-grade surfboards and leashes during the session to match objectives and conditions—an approach that helps advanced surfers test different shapes and refine technique on boards suited to their goals.

THE MEDIA

Optional drone video to review performance

Toward the end of the lesson there is an option to have drone footage captured of your surfing, subject to availability and weather—useful for detailed technique review and progress tracking.
