Development Days

Intensive days for Advanced and Expert surfers looking to master technical manoeuvres with two surf lessons and a land-based workshop.

Land-based workshops

Bespoke sessions tailored to each customer’s individual progression. Any of the following may be included:

  • Surfskating: practise board mechanics and refine movement on land
  • Video analysis: (Intermediate level and above) coaches break down session footage with the surfer to identify technique gains
  • Land-based workshops: detailed presentations covering theory, technique, common errors and the “why” behind each manoeuvre
  • Direct feedback from your coach: one-to-one debrief and goal-setting
