TESTIMONIALS

  • Damien Bradley

    Spent two days with Alex at Nomad Surf, and I can’t recommend him enough! He helped me progress so much by identifying bad habits I didn’t even know were there. He explained why they were affecting my surfing, how to fix them, and why those changes would make a difference.

    The video analysis was a complete game changer. Alex broke everything down in a way that made perfect sense. He also gave me a clear breakdown of what to work on for my next surf, which was super helpful.

    To top it off, he got some epic photos from our last session, making an already awesome weekend even better. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and fun— if I could give more than five stars, I would!

    Just had the best time surfing with Alex … booked 1:1 sessions as a complete beginner- Alex explained technique without over complicating - was patient, encouraging and made the sessions so much fun! It’s a great way to learn… I will definitely be back!! :)

  • Patrick

    Great first surf session with Alex in Newquay.

    About to book in for another one. After being a bit rusty at any thing sport related, by the end of the first coaching session I was up on the board surfing and moreover he helped me identity a tonne of issues I was struggling with, that I’m working at fixing.

    Alex has got bags of patience and helps you push yourself but looks out for you at the same time. Can’t recommend enough.

  • Danielle Knight

    Would 100% recommend! Learnt so much more doing a 1 to 1 session rather than a group. Alex was super friendly and gave some really good advice and by the end I was a lot more confident and catching waves no problem 😊

  • scott urbaniak

    Was an awesome experience! Alex and his family were very wholesome and welcoming, the accommodation was beautiful and hospitality was outstanding.

    I progressed amazingly during my time there and with Alex and his video analysis, I learnt loads and catched many waves. Will definitely be back again next time round! Cheers again! 🏄‍♂️

    Alex puts his heart and souls into this. The care and amount of time and attention he dedicated to this weekend was incomparable. The video analysis really stood out for me. Being able to see those errors, discuss them and work on them right after is really helpful.
