A great overview for surfers just starting out. If you have no idea where to start this guide will provide a great intro to understand surfing. I’m addition to useful information, the guide also has great videos with fun instructors for those who are more visual.

I am absolutely loving this surfing course! Before starting the course, surfing had always been a dream of mine but I didn’t know where to begin! This course has instilled confidence and even more excitement to start surfing! This course covers EVERYTHING a beginner may be worried about. They cover the history of surfing, the mental and physical aspects, ocean patterns, proper form etc. 10/10 I highly recommend taking to this course!

I just finished their beginner surf course and I was impressed of how much I learned. The content of the course is immense and when you are new to surfing or are trying to improve your skills this course is a must. I especially enjoyed that the content was delivered via videos for the most part. This made it easier to understand certain explanation as you could see it visually as well. Furthermore, the course is structured in sections, therefore, you can work your way through it and always go back to re-read it. Moreover, the quizzes at the end of each section were helpful to repeat the content and memorize it even further. Some answers which were obviously wrong made me laugh as they were quite funny. In sum, I was really happy that I took their course as I learned a lot about surfing and everything around it. Overall, the course took me about 6 weeks, but it was worth it.

Loving every moment! I am currently enrolled in the beginners surf course. I have learnt so much already! Personally one of the best things about this course is that I can take it at my own pace. I can't wait to get back into the water and apply all the new skills and knowledge I had acquired.

I took their online beginner surf course and this course is absolutely well for beginners. I've learned a lot, from surf history to surf culture, how to choose accessories, mental preperation etc. you can learn everything about surfing. Course index is well designed and easy to understand and follow. All you have to do is practise at beach after watching videos. I took lessons from surf coach in my country and also i have watched too many videos about surfing but this course is clearly most instructive one. If you are a beginner i strongly recommend it 🏄

Why, What and How

Surf Club Explained

We created surf club because we have a passion for surf education and . Surf Club is an exclusive community based club created to connect surfers of similar ability and help them progress to the next level. We realized that it is difficult to experience realtime progress without creating a structured syllabus around surfing. 

So, we created a detailed syllabus that includes theory classes, in-water coaching, and professional videography and analysis, so you can easily improve your surfing. Surf Club is a two-month course that includes two x two-hour surf sessions a week, one theory class and one video analysis session. Surf club is limited to 4 people per group and we offer 3 different group options, beginner, intermediate and advanced. All surf sessions are done before and after general working hours, so anyone can join.

What You Will Learn

Beginner Surf Club Breakdown

Board handling refers to how confident you are with turning, siting up, lying down, turtle rolling and much more. Board handling is an essential skill to surfing confidently out in the line up. Being able to handle your board will be the difference between catching 1 wave in the session and catching 10. This is the first skill we cover in the beginner surf clinic

I am sure you have heard that surfing is 90% paddling, 9.9% falling and 0.1% standing up on the board. Master the paddling technique so you can catch any wave you want. We cover the paddling technique in-depth and constantly review in every surf session. 

The connection between catching the wave and standing up. The Pop up is another essential surfing skill that we cover in our 2-month surf clinic. We teach the fundamental technique of the pop up so you are able to understand and correct your own mistakes. We coach you to coach yourself! 

Surf Scenarios is a concept based surfing theory class, that covers the basics principles of line up management. The surf scenarios theory class will give you a basic understanding of what the line up is and how you should manage yourself in it while you are progressing from surfing white water waves to surfing green water waves. Not sure what I mean by that? Well this theory class explains it all

Reading and catching waves is by far the most exciting and challenging aspect of surfing. This theory class breaks the concept down into bite size chunks so you have the ability to catch any and every wave you want. 

Timing the pop up is imperative to your success as a surfer. Generally it takes reviewing the technique a couple of times before most people are able to master it. So, we will be reviewing the pop up multiple times. This theory sheds light on the most common mistakes associated with the pop up technique, how to spot them and how to fix them without the help of a coach. 

In order to fully understand waves, you need to understand the variables that both create them and destroy them. This theory class breaks down how waves are created and how they break so you have a holistic understanding of waves. Ultimately making it easier for you to learn how to read surf forecasts and how to read and catch waves. 

The next step in your surf progress is to learn to turn the surfboard. In this theory class we discuss how to turn the surfboard, we break down both wave mechanics and body mechanics so you know exactly why, how and when to turn the surfboard.
