Surk skate lessons
We use surfskating to upgrade our surf skills quicker and easier; we can use it to work on new skills or correct mistakes more efficiently! The biggest advantage of surfskating as a tool to improve surf is the fact that we are not dependent on the wave conditions, so we can use it to train frequently. Also, during the 1 hour that we are surfskating we are actually working on our goals, spending time on top of the board, and creating the best skillset for when we go in the water, so that we can really enjoy the couple minutes that we actually get surfing the waves!
Filming Analysis
We can provide a filmaker to record your sessions. Or you can bring your own videos. Video analysis is a key tool for improving your technique. It will help you break down and understand your movements in detail, aiding in the identification and enhancement of specific areas for improvement. It makes it easier to spot and understand mistakes. It offers a visual record of your progress over time, helping in setting future goals and staying motivated to keep improving.
WHO ARE WE
We are two long-time friends, competitive surfers and surf instructors.
We want to help you achieve your goals and teach you how to enjoy the ocean with total knowledge and absolute fun!
