WE’VE HELPED THOUSANDS OF SURFERS JUST LIKE YOU…
“Coaching at the HPC was astonishingly helpful. Even for old salty dads, that don’t get out enough anymore, like our crew. The motivation and reinvigoration from staying at the training centre was also a significant experience for us all. It’s amazing that we can train under the same roof as our future Australian surfing champions.”
“After a decade of surfing, I felt like I had hit a plateau but this camp was the breakthrough I needed. The video coaching was a game-changer for me! Having a coach analyse and point out my mistakes helped me understand what I was doing wrong and how to correct it. It shifted my approach to surfing and made me more confident and focused in the water.”
“I’m a dad of three young boys and unfortunately, surfing has taken a back seat to life. Returning to the HPC for the second time has absolutely renewed my confidence and my passion for surfing. The coaching is world-class, both in and out of the water. I can’t speak highly enough of the facilities, accommodation, coaching and overall guest experience.”
“I had an incredible experience at the HPC! The coaches were not only incredibly friendly but also highly skilled. Their coaching techniques and tips were invaluable and played a significant role in progressing my surfing abilities. I went in as an intermediate surfer, and with their guidance, I felt like I made leaps and bounds in my skill level.”
