SURF BETTER. UNDERSTAND WHY.

This isn’t just a surf trip. It’s a one-week surf progression program built specifically for adult learners.

For years, I struggled to find a way of learning that actually translated into my surfing. I would surf more, take lessons, watch footage, and hear things like “bend your knees,” “turn harder,” or “compress more” - but knowing what I was supposed to do didn’t mean my body knew how to do it.

It took me years of training, competing, working with different coaches, and studying movement to finally find an approach that clicked.

And that’s the approach we’re bringing to Brazil.

Throughout the week, we’ll combine surf coaching, video analysis, biomechanics, surfskate training, and functional movement training to help you understand not only what you need to change in your surfing, but how your body actually needs to move to make that change happen.

WHY BIOMECHANICS?

Surfing is a movement skill.

The way you position your feet, rotate your hips and shoulders, shift your center of mass, generate force, compress, extend, and transfer weight all affect what happens on the wave.

That’s why simply hearing “do a bigger bottom turn” often isn’t enough.

We’ll break surfing down into movements you can understand and practice outside of the water, then use surfskate and functional training to reinforce those movement patterns before taking them back into the ocean.

The goal is to create the connection between:

UNDERSTAND IT → FEEL IT → PRACTICE IT → SURF IT

So instead of spending another year repeating the same habits and hoping more time in the water eventually fixes them, you leave understanding how your surfing works, what has been holding you back, and what you can continue working on when you go home.

BUILT FOR ADULT SURFERS

Learning to surf as an adult is different.

Most of us don't have unlimited water time, perfect waves every day, or thousands of hours to develop these movements through trial and error.

That means our training needs to be more intentional.

This retreat is designed for beginner and intermediate surfers who are serious about progressing and want more than simply being pushed into waves or told what they did wrong after a session.

Over the course of 8 days, we'll work on your surfing in the water, on video, on the surfskate, and through functional training so every part of the program is working toward the same goal:

Helping you become a more confident, capable and technically sound surfer - and giving you the tools to keep progressing long after Brazil.
