The Speed & Drive Curriculum
A concentrated curriculum that breaks down speed generation, powerful bottom turns and momentum-preserving linkages so surfers can approach each section with clarity and purpose.
Commitment to Powerful Turns
Coaching emphasizes committed bottom turns and driving through the wave face so riders can set up manoeuvres with speed and scoring potential.
Reading Sections and Positioning
Sessions teach surfers how to identify and position for sections to maximise each ride’s momentum and competitive value.
