What is Surfcoaching?
Surfcoaching is advising and guiding a surfer. A surf coach helps to accomplish goals and grow into a better surfer by sharing knowledge and working together. With surf coaching, you get advice and guidance to become a better surfer. By focusing on your fitness, surfing ability, maneuvers, equipment, ocean knowledge, and wave choices.
For who is Surfcoaching?
Surfcoaching is aimed at ‘intermediate’ surfers*. Surfers that want to take the next step. Surfcoaching improves your surf skills. Can you surf reasonably well, but do you really want to make progress? With surfcoaching, you can make that progress because you will get a better understanding of the ocean, the waves, board choices, forecasts, and your surfing. A surf coach will help you with your personal questions and goals. During the surf coaching class, we will analyze your surfing and give hints and exercises to help you improve.
When you have been surfing for a while, half a year, two years or even more. You will might reach a level where you are stuck. You can take waves, surf down the line and maybe even do some turns. But you are not progressing that much anymore. This is where surf coaching comes into play.
A surfcoaching session
During a surfcoaching session, we will talk about your problems and set goals. A surf coach is there to help you increase your surfing ability. What will result in even more fun during a freesurf. During the surf coaching we take pictures and video footage of the surfer. This footage helps you see how you surf. It will show what common mistakes are, and what is going great.
The surfcoaching session are given in small groups of 2- 6 participants. The session takes 2 hours. During those two hours we will talk about your current surfing ability and your goals. Depending on the surf conditions and your ability the surf coach will:
- Join you in the water and guides you with taking waves, timing, and turns.
- Give advice from the beach and take photo & video footage while you are surfing.
After the lesson all the video and photo footage and advice will be shared. If you book a next coach session, we will analyze the footage and evaluate the last lesson together before jumping in the water.
