Take control
of your surf
progression
A Course Series & Community to help Beginners & Intermediates learn to surf more efficiently & have more fun in the water.
There is a path,
a different learning approach that can accelerate your progression & dramatically increase your fun.

Did you just discover surfing and feel like you are facing a monster? Or are you not progressing as quickly as you had anticipated? Are you plateauing & looking to step up your surfing? If so, you are at the right place!
When we started our surfing journey in our late teens, we learned to surf the hard way: by ourselves. Even though we dedicated loads of time & energy, we weren’t progressing to our full potential. Looking back, we understand that most of our mistakes could have been avoided.
Learning to surf as an adult is already tricky enough. Figuring things out by trial and error after getting in the game a bit late is a recipe for frustration & discouragement. As adults, we learn differently than children. We need clear pointers, step-by-step explanations and feedback to make sense of things and integrate them into our surfing.
In the past 10 years, we’ve helped thousands of surfers accelerate their progression on our surf coaching retreats. As a result, we have developed a unique set of skills and knowledge required to build this Online Coaching program. It contains all the essential fundamentals to help beginners & intermediates surf better, faster.
We discovered 3 simple reasons why surfers struggle to progress.
As a beginner or intermediate, you are almost certainly making one and probably all of these mistakes:
- AWARENESS: You lack surf knowledge & are unaware of the foundations you need to build.
- PRACTISE: You don’t practise efficiently with proper focus.
- RE-EVALUATION: You don’t get enough feedback on your surfing.
If you watched our video about John and Bill, you understood that John took a completely different learning approach than Bill, resulting in much faster progression & more fun in the water.
This program is a tool to help you learn to surf like John. We built it around the same 3 concepts:
