    OUR CAMPS

    WE HAVE EVERY TOOL AT OUR DISPOSAL TO HELP YOU BECOME A BETTER SURFER

    Refined over 15+ years of working with recreational surfers of all ability levels.

    VIDEO ANALYSIS

    Have you ever seen yourself surfing on film? While it can be humbling, video footage is a powerful tool to show you exactly what you’re doing on a wave and how you can improve.

    Each surfing session is filmed and followed by wave-by-wave analysis with our coaches who use slow-motion replays, digital drawings and split-screen comparisons to help you learn correct technique.
