Progression Weeks

Across four days, you’ll be combining in-water lessons and land-based workshops to build confidence, improve technique and get you ready to level-up to your next wave.

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

Surf sessions

  • Our incredible surf lessons, delivered in the lineup by highly qualified and experienced surf coaches
  • In-water coaching – providing specific feedback on every single one of your waves

What's included in every Progression Week


Every Academy course is built around two complementary elements, time on the water and time on land, that work together to accelerate progression.
