Why we only provide private surf lessons...
Private surf coaching offers a wealth of benefits for surfers of all levels, from beginners looking to get a solid foundation to advanced surfers aiming to refine their techniques. Here's a synthesis of the advantages based on recent insights from various surf schools and experiences:
Personalised Feedback and Instruction: Private lessons ensure that the coaching is tailored specifically to your skills and goals. Instructors focus entirely on your actions, providing immediate and customised feedback. This one-on-one attention accelerates your learning curve and helps pinpoint and correct specific areas that need improvement.
Flexibility and Convenience: With private coaching, you can schedule sessions at times that suit you best and often at the location of your choice. This flexibility allows you to practice under optimal conditions and at your own pace, making it easier to fit surf training into a busy lifestyle.
Safety and Confidence: Learning with a private coach can enhance your safety in the water. Coaches not only teach surfing techniques but also focus on ocean safety, helping you gain confidence in different surfing conditions. This personalised approach reduces risks and helps manage the learning environment more effectively.
Rapid Progression: Because the lessons are tailored specifically to your abilities, private coaching often leads to quicker progression in skills. Whether it's mastering the pop-up or improving wave reading and selection, the dedicated focus from the coach pushes your development further, faster.
Advanced Techniques and Strategy: For more experienced surfers, private coaching can delve into advanced surfing techniques and strategies that are not typically covered in group settings. This might include video analysis of your surfing, theoretical knowledge to enhance understanding, and specialised manoeuvres to elevate your performance.
