1:1 session
Many things worth doing are hard to figure out on your own, yet completely learnable with the right guidance and support.
We will begin by asking the question: why do you want to surf? If you are completely new to surfing, then wanting to surf is already the beginning of surfing, and then by following that desire it might bring in questions of what’s in the way? Is it a blockage, is it a fear? What is it? That wanting, if it’s strong enough, will give you the capacity to stay with it. To stay patient with it. To embrace the difficulties because the journey of surfing has a lot of ups and downs, trials and tribulations, challenges and delights. And the challenges happen to be at the beginning more. The deeper you go, the more you are in the surfing journey and things start to open up, to become easier, more natural and spontaneous.
1:1 Sessions are focused on an individuals needs. We will target specific goals and focus in areas we deem appropriate. This includes anything on the surfing spectrum from forecasting, ocean knowledge and safety to specific technique such as paddling, popping up, dropping in, bottom turning, etcetera. An emphasis on ocean knowledge will be of high importance as questions of surfing etiquette remain increasingly important especially in busy line-ups like Rockaway. Learning the rules and approaching the line-up with respect helps to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
video session
I approach teaching through a visual aid, offering video and video review. This is great for all levels of surfers because once you have access to seeing yourself surf, you can then really begin to unlock your potential by visualizing what may need to be corrected.
Video is likely to be a component in our 1:1 Sessions, but if you’d like to request the Video Service only, I can film your sessions and provide you with the footage.
group session
Nothing better than surfing with your mates. Group sessions are meant for 2-3 people at a time. I can run a group session at 3 people max, ensuring each individual gets the attention they require. Similar to a 1:1 Session but the vibes are high and your buds are in the water.
Let’s work together.
