Our courses
Progression-focused coaching for every surfer
We specialise in technical surf coaching across longboarding, shortboarding and improver levels, using detailed video analysis and structured sessions to create clear, measurable progression.
Between us, we bring over 25 years of coaching experience, alongside competing internationally under some of the world’s leading surf coaches and performance professionals. But more importantly, we know what it feels like to get stuck, to plateau, and to not know what to work on next.
Longboard courses
Longboard Masterclass: All-Rounder
Back by popular demand, our All-Rounder course is designed for a wide range of longboarders: from building speed control, practicing your first cross steps to refining clean, controlled noserides.
Choose between a 1-day or a 5-day immersive course.
Longboard Masterclass: Fundamentals
Our Fundamentals course is designed for surfers at the beginning of their longboarding journey, or those looking to build a stronger, more consistent foundation.
Longboard Masterclass: Noserider
Our Noserider course is designed for competent longboarders looking to take their logging to the next level: focusing on flow, style, and critical time on the nose.

Technical empowerment
We break down complex manoeuvres into simple repeatable steps, refine body mechanics and give your surf sessions clear direction. Think of us as your surf-language translators, turning technical jargon into movements or adjustments you can actually apply in the water.
Small groups. High attention to detail. Maximum progression.
Small group sizes
We keep our groups intentionally small (maximum of 8 surfers, with 3 coaches) to ensure every participant gets focused, high-quality feedback.
Forecast based locations and timings
We base our timings and location on the forecast, this means we can make the most of the surf conditions to maximise your learning.
Personalised feedback
Every surfer is different. That’s why all courses include dedicated 1:1 coaching, so your feedback, goals, and progression plan are tailored specifically to you.
Shortboard and mid-length courses
