BURGAU - PORTUGAL
Four key elements. One integrated approach.
Our unique methodology combines four distinct elements, developed together to greatly accelerate your progression
Technical training
01
Technical training
Technical training equipment and exercises offer the opportunity to practice the body movements and positions required in surfing in a controlled environment, with direct supervision and feedback from experienced surf coaches.
03
Balance boards
From take off to turns, we have a range of balance boards designed to simulate the various aspects of surfing. Working on these boards in a controlled environment allows us to focus in on key technical details that make all the difference in the water.
02
Surf skate
Surf skating is the best way to simulate the motion of surfing on dry land. The movements needed to initiate turns and control speed closely mimic the feeling of being in the water. Aided by our wave ramps, surf skating makes for ideal out-of-water training.
04
Technique drills
Our methodology employs a wide variety of repeatable drills and exercises designed to help strengthen areas of weakness in your technique, and through repetition build a muscle memory of better habits which you'll carry to the water.
Video analysis
01
Video analysis
Video analysis is one of the most powerful tools that can be used to help develop your surfing. Reviewing the specific movements and positions you need to focus on can help you strengthen your understanding and push for improvement.
03
On land
We also use video equipment during our indoor technical training sessions to capture your body movements and positions throughout your use of our functional training equipment
02
In water
We use video analysis to review your performance in the water in order to help you develop your self awareness and to understand which elements of your technique you'll benefit most from working on.
04
Direct training
Through live expert analysis, we're able to and correct and strengthen your technique in real time, greatly accelerating the development of your surfing.
Theoretical lessons
01
Theory
Understanding surf theory is crucial - it directly impacts safety in the water and underpins every surfer's technical development. By studying the science behind wave formation, ocean dynamics and meteorology, you can move from reacting to waves to proactively navigating the ocean environment.
03
Wave formation
By knowing how waves are created - through wind, swell direction, period and interaction with the seabed - you can transition from simply riding waves to actively reading the ocean, helping with your wave selection and timing and ultimately building your ride count.
02
Wind
Understanding the effect of the wind on waves is vital knowledge for any surfer. Being able to interpret weather forecasts correctly can help you choose the best spots and best times to enter the water on a consistent basis.
04
Tides
Understanding tides is essential for both safety and performance, as tidal shifts dramatically change how, where and when waves break. Knowledge of tidal dynamics is crucial for picking the right spot at the right time.
Evolution planning
01
Development plan
Our process begins with the creation of a personalised development plan identifying areas of focus - based on your current strengths and weaknesses - for the development of your surfing skills and technique.
03
Collaborative planning
Our expert coaches will work with you to decide which areas of your technique or knowledge might require the most significant attention, and which areas you might focus on first in order to unlock accelerated progress.
02
Self evaluation
We help you build self awareness and teach you how to identify the technical skills you need to work on yourself, empowering you to take ownership of the continuing development of your surf technique.
04
Evolution plan
At the end of your programme, we'll provide you with a personalised evolution plan, laying out the steps you need to follow to elevate your surfing to expert level.
