World-class waves deserve world-class coaching.
You've traveled here for world-class waves. You've blocked out time in your schedule. You're already investing in the experience.
One addition will change everything about how you leave.
The difference between having an amazing trip and having an amazing trip where you actually get better is a coach who knows this wave better than the back of their hand.
Imagine surfing the same wave over and over, with a world-class coach talking you through every section as it happens, giving you one clear thing to work on for your next wave?
With coaching in a controlled environment, progress compounds. Not someday. Not "eventually."
Right here. Right now.
Repetition + expert coaching = progress accelerated
Most surf spots give you one shot at a wave, then it's gone. At the pool, you get the same wave again and again until it becomes muscle memory.
Our team has coached Olympians, and pro surfers. They've also helped complete beginners catch their first wave. The difference doesn't just lie in the experience they have, but in knowing exactly what you need to hear in that moment.
Coaching from the back of a jet-ski as you surf is a world-first. After each wave, you get real-time feedback while watching the replay on the big screen.
Our coaches are trained to spot the one thing that'll make the biggest difference on your next wave. Need a different board mid-session? Done. Need subtle cues before you pull into the barrel? You got it. Want to work on your backside turns? We'll dial them in.
That's what world-class coaching looks like.
Coaching works. At every level
Whether you're catching your first unbroken wave or refining your barrel riding technique, coaching removes the barriers between where you are and where you want to be.
Think you're too advanced for coaching? The best surfers in the world disagree.
Think you're not ready yet? That's exactly when coaching makes the biggest difference.
New to surfing? We’ll get you riding your first waves by the end of the session! Everyone starts somewhere, and with the right coaching, in the right environment, you’ll get comfortable on a surfboard quickly without the usual frustration.
Been surfing for years? Time to break through that plateau. Are you stuck in that frustrating space between intermediate and advanced, where you can handle the waves, but something invisible is holding you back? Our coaches will figure it out.
Already ripping? If the best in the world benefit from coaching, you’ll do too. When you can surf the same wave over and over with someone calling out the nuances from the ski in real time, your progression excels.
