Hello, Avatar! I had very little help growing up when I was learning how to surf ( I’m still learning!) aside from one beginner surf lesson when I was 11.
I’m self-taught, everything I learned is from my own experience and countless hours of research.
When learning a new hobby it’s supposed to be challenging but a rewarding experience right? Otherwise, why bother. But it shouldn’t be impossible.
It’s tough to find a decent mentor to help you develop, especially if you are an adult. It also doesn’t help that surf culture has this weird groupthink that people ought to “figure it out on their own”. Pretty silly to expect kooks to stop coming out of the woodwork if you don’t lend a helping hand.
Unfortunately, that’s where the surfing community is at these days.
Gone are the barbarian days of surfing, it’s now mainstream in the Instagram era. Paired with advances wetsuit technology has made surfing more accessible than it ever was back in the day. Spots that were comfortably enjoyed by few have run rampant with kooks that have no clue what they are doing.
There are too many people out there that are riding the wrong equipment and lack basic etiquette. The type of cretins that drop in on you, get in your way, and have no spatial awareness.
I hold the belief this wouldn’t be an issue if there were simply more education available. But there isn’t.
Rather than building a bigger fence, I believe the surf community needs to build a bigger table. And that is exactly what I intend to do with my coaching program for all of you.
I offer two coaching services:
1-on-1 Phone calls - Pick my brain and ask me anything surfing-related such as equipment, how to find new spots, weather forecasting, technique, etc.
Private Film breakdown - I give you actionable advice based on the clips you provide. I’ll find what is limiting your progress and what we can do to get you on the fast track to improvement.
Since this is my first time doing this online it is free to all of you who subscribe before the end of 2021!
Free 99 to shamelessly ask me any question related to surfing. Sounds like a bargain, eh?
