Private · EUR 250    Group · EUR 150 per surfer

Why most surfers plateau

You surf as often as you can, but the surfing looks the same as last year. That is not a time problem.

It is that no one has ever told you what to work on, at your level, with your weaknesses. Coaching fixes that. One clear focus at a time, until it sticks.

How a session works

Surf coach giving feedback to a student in the water

We meet at the breaks around Canggu. Before you paddle out, we agree on one thing to work on. Not ten. One.

Every wave is filmed. We watch it back together, so you see what your body is actually doing, not what you think it is doing.

Who it is for

Surfer riding a clean green wave with a jungle backdrop

Beginners standing up for the first time. Intermediates stuck on the same three maneuvers. Competitors preparing for a heat.

The idea is the same at every level: find the one thing in the way, and remove it.

The ISL, your map

Every surfer we coach is placed on the International Surf Levels, the ISL. It tells you what you can already do and what comes next.

So progress becomes something you can see, not just something you hope you feel.
