Coaching for professionals & top amateur surfers has been well established for years, and is just beginning to be appreciated by longtime surfers. Fitness and good equpment are very important, but personalized coaching will have the most impact on your performance progression.
Refining fundamental skillsets and increasing awareness on all levels is an ongoing process. Do you understand how surfboard design & volume affects your paddling, positioning and timing? Are you using the correct kinesthetic technique, having full body awareness, connecting core, torso & extremities? Have you seen video footage of yourself surfing that reveals what you “think” is happening to what is really transpiring? A video clip of your surfing immediately reveals precise areas of focus for better technique and training to improve your surfing.
