5-Week Women’s Surf Program

Highlights

The 5-week program leads students through a structured progression pathway, teaching the right skills at the right time, step by step, for the quickest improvements possible.

Each session is split into three distinct parts:

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 surfing better as fast as possible.

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.

Post surf analysis. After each session we recap on areas of improvement, ready for implementation the following week.

Skill level

This program is for both absolute beginners (people that have never surfed before), and for progressor level women (people that have been surfing a little while, and want to make the big improvements quickly).

What you’ll learn

We split the group into two levels: Level 1 [Beginners] & Level 2 [Progressors].

Each group will follow along to a unique curriculum designed to fast track progression and build confidence in the surf.

Level 1 [beginners]

We start with the absolute basics, teaching you the right skills and technique from the offset to set you up for a lifelong love affair with surfing.

From a solid technical foundation, you’ll have a springboard from which to blaze through the beginner stages in record time.

You’ll learn:

• How to select and catch waves unassisted in the white water
• How to stall and accelerate the board
• Master the ‘Aussie Pop Up’ method
• Work on agility and prediction drills
• Board management and control
• Ocean awareness
• The proper stance which will allow you to perform turns and progress onto catching unbroken waves
• Turning left and right in the white water
• Understand etiquette and know how to confidently and safely deal with any situation which may present itself to you

Level 2 [progressors]

The Progressor program is about making the leap from surfing whitewater waves, to surfing out the back, taking off on green unbroken waves, in control, with ease.

You’ll learn:

• 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 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.
• Find out the oh so common (easily avoidable) mistakes that 90% of beginners make time, and time again – and how to correct them.
• Learn all about ‘Spot-X’ – what it is, why it’s important, and how to use it to your advantage.

A typical session

• Meet & greet, get wetsuits and surfboards ready for session start.
• Beach Theory: We get together as a group and go through a thorough theory session on the beach. We cover the techniques on land before hitting the water to implement what we’ve learned.
• In-Water Session: The group enter the water alongside our experienced instructors for a group coaching session. Your coach will be on-hand to offer feedback, advice, and provide demonstrations.
• Wrap Up: The group comes together at the end of the session for a breakdown and analysis, with group feedback and things to work on before the next week.

We generally stick very close to this structure, however on occasion we may alter things to best serve the group.

Equipment

If you’ve got your own gear, by all means bring that along, or if you’d rather use ours we have a tonne of wetsuits and surfboards you can use free of charge for the duration of the weekend.

The minimum age to participate in this course is 15+.
