How coaching works

Observe, explain, cue and review

Assess the day

The coach chooses the location, zone and goal after reading current conditions.

Assess the surfer

Experience, swimming confidence, equipment and recent surfing shape the plan.

Give one useful cue

Feedback stays short enough to remember during the next wave.

Review the decision

The surfer explains what happened and leaves with an independent practice target.

Water roles

Clear responsibility inside every group

Lead coach

Owns the beach decision, water boundary, group plan and any change or cancellation.

Water coach

Maintains positioning, gives in-water cues and supports regrouping.

Beach support

Watches the boundary, manages equipment and helps with selected video capture.

Coach matching

Choose support for the goal you actually have

  • First surf: calm instruction and safe supported waves
  • Green-wave progression: paddling, positioning and take-off choice
  • Technique: trim, turns, rail control and speed
  • Video: one technical priority with repeatable drills
  • Performance: manoeuvres, tactics and training plans

Private coaching

Condition-led one-to-one session

A focused lesson with suitable beach choice, individual water feedback and a practical next-session plan.
