Improver surf course

About the weekend

Doing away with the basics, we focus our efforts exclusively on more advanced/nuanced techniques that’ll help you improve your surfing dramatically.

Over the weekend you’ll be immersed within a group of surfers of a similar level, all eager to learn, getting nurtured through our step by step curriculum teaching you the skills needed to catch unbroken waves with ease, turn left & right, and own your spot in the lineup anywhere in the world.

You’ll gain a deep knowledge of why certain techniques are important, and how to implement them, and you’ll have a crystal clear framework to work on long into the future. So, if you want to take big progression strides at rapid pace, come join us for a weekend of intensive surf specific tuition.

Highlights

The weekend course is broken up into x4 blocks (AM & PM over two days), with each block split into two sessions:

Theory. This is where we go into detail learning new skills, ready for application in the water. We follow a roadmap with pre-defined outcomes to get you to your destination as fast as possible over the weekend.

In-water tuition. You’ll have assistance in-water should you need it at all times. Our trained instructors will be on hand to provide real-time feedback, offer advice, and showcase demonstrations.

We rinse and repeat this format over the whole weekend and the transformations we’ve witnessed have been incredible, just check out some of our reviews.

Skill level

This course is for you if:

• You’re consistently standing up in the whitewater.
• Attempting to catch green unbroken waves on small days.
• You’re able to catch whitewater waves unassisted.

Course

Our Improver curriculum has been designed for advanced beginner surfers that want to learn the hyper specific techniques unique to the sport. Over the weekend you’ll learn all the vital skills and techniques to:

• Harness the power of the ‘Pop & Cork’ method – a technique that’ll double (or even triple your wave count, instantly).
• Understand the 4-stages of a wave so that you’re on the right waves, at the right time – every time.
• Learn all about ‘Spot-X’ – what it is, why it’s important, and how to use it to your advantage.
• Find out the oh so common (easily avoidable) mistakes that 90% of beginners make time, and time again – and how to correct them.
• Learn the secrets to the little known ‘Pro-Pop’ method – used by the pros, but so often overlooked by beginners.
• Master the skills of taking-off on green unbroken waves – without nosediving on every wave!
• Learn the difference between functional and progressive stance – which one you should be focusing on, and why.
• And much more.

With each step building on the last, by the end of the weekend you’ll have all the skills you need to take your surfing to the next level.
