“I just wanted to drop you a note to say how much I enjoyed my lesson last week. I’ll definitely be back. Thanks very much!!” David, Glasgow
SKILL BUILDER SURF LESSON
We have designed a series of skill building lessons for beginners in the white water and improvers in small unbroken waves. Lessons concentrate on increasing length of ride, understanding speed control and perfecting turns.
Lessons are open to beginners who can stand consistently in the white water through to improvers that can catch unbroken waves but lack consistency or control!
“My experience was great, at the start of the week the conditions weren’t ideal but the instructors, who i think had a tremendous blend of skill, experience and ability didn’t bemoan the conditions but instead had us working on technique, with drills that didn’t require perfect conditions; and that was exactly what i was after – something to help me move on from my surfing plateau.” Alistair
ADVANCED SURF COACHING
We welcome longboarders and shortboards who want to improve their skills. Lessons include individual analysis of your surfing, drills, improvement tips and land training if appropriate. We also offer an optional extra to have your session filmed and one hour post session analysis in the surf centre with a nice warm drink and 3-5 clips of your best waves to take home.
Our senior coaches have more than a decade of surf coaching and practical experience and also shortboard or longboard to a high level. Surfers at this level should be able to surf along unbroken waves with an element of consistency and control.
Advanced surf coaching on the east coast March/April/May and October/November when the local surf is consistently bigger. In the summer join us on the north and west coast islands adventures, and explore some of the most amazing coastline in Europe.
” you did a great job finding the right waves for the group. At the end I was catching loads more waves. I was given excellent tips and the photos and videos also helped a lot!” Enilson
