Advanced Surf Coaching & Technique

Advanced Surf Coaching & Technique

My goal is to provide personalized surf coaching that I have developed, to help further educate and train young competitors.  I want to provide the coaching and training techniques to equip each surfer with the self confidence to achieve success on the professional level.  It takes years of practice and dedication to become a professional surfer, and there are many elements to developing a successful surfing career. My focus during each session will be varied, but will include some of the following routines: Competitive training will include stretching routines, physical training, and exercise to provide flexibility, balance, agility, and improved overall strength and energy.

    1. Wave selection strategies and general surf knowledge are an important focus for competition preparation.
    2. Sports psychology and heat strategies which include time management in the water will improve heat results.
    3. The importance of knowing your equipment and having a strong relationship with your shaper are critical elements to a successful pro surfing career.  I will evaluate your equipment and make recommendations.
