THE FORMAT

Four-wave sets that keep you in motion

Sessions are structured as four-wave sets, run repeatedly to give surfers near-constant opportunity to paddle back out and catch the next ride, maximizing reps for performance work.

THE WAVE

The Peak: a full kit of waves to test every move

The Peak delivers distinct setups across its four waves—steep runners for top-to-bottom surfing, stretched faces for big wraps and end-section hits, slopier take-offs for pumping into heavy hacks, and long, punchy sections that feel beach-break like.

THE VIBE

High-performance focus with Gold Coast energy

The session pushes surfers to refine and push their repertoire—head-dips, airs and big wraps are all on offer—making it a condensed performance day that echoes a great outing on the Gold Coast.

What the day feels like

What the session feels like

Expect a fast, concentrated hour where the emphasis is on repetition and variety: you’ll hit four distinct waves in each set, stringing moves together, paddling back out, and immediately lining up for the next challenge. The format rewards precision and power—pursue top-to-bottom speed on the steep runners, carve full-speed wraps on the stretched faces, and time your biggest hacks on the punchier end sections.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this session suits—and who should look elsewhere.

1
Advanced SurfersIdeal: riders who already have solid wave-reading, take-off speed and can link progressive maneuvers—this session is explicitly advanced in focus.
2
Performance-focused SurfersA match for surfers aiming to refine top-to-bottom surfing, big wraps, and airs through high-rep, deliberate sets.
3
Intermediate Surfers Seeking ProgressionSuitable if you’re pushing from intermediate toward advanced and comfortable in larger, faster surf—expect a challenging pace.
4
BeginnersNot recommended: the session’s emphasis on steep take-offs and high-speed maneuvers makes it ill-suited for surfers without strong foundational skills.
