Surf Schools: Improving your Surfing

Do you want to learn, excited to progress to the next level or just super stoked on having fun in the water? Then a surf lesson could be just for you. Whether you’re new to the sport and want to learn the basics or you just need some more helpful tips to improve your technique, then you need to book yourself into a surf school this summer. Even the top surf pros have a surf coach.

Surf coaches are amazing at spotting all the little things that make all the difference! You get taught all the best techniques right from the start, whether you are a learner going into your first ABC lessons or whether you need some helpful advice to make your technique better, turns more powerful, manoeuvres more radical or even competition coaching. Having a helping hand right from the start stops you from getting into any of those nasty bad habits, and all of this happens in a safe environment, by qualified instructors and lifeguards. Coaches are also great at advising you on the best equipment, awesome local surfing beaches and travel must see and must surf hot spots! Many instructors have already been there and done that and some are even multiple surfing titleholders so we can all learn a thing or two from them.

Alongside knowing the best tips for improvement from your instructors a healthy lifestyle and a good level of fitness will not only help you stay in the water for longer each session, but it will give you the increased confidence to achieve and progress. With loads of enthusiasm, patience, persistence and many hours of practice in the water you will begin to feel a natural on your board.
