If you are able to catch a green wave and ride down the line, you are ready for high performance surf coaching. Performance coaching starts by covering the foundations of surfing: 

• Ocean and wave awareness
• Proper paddling technique 
• Catching waves
• Pop-up refinement
• Stance and style
• Using the whole wave
• Getting the board on rail
• Surfing frontside and backside etc.

If you are successfully performing basic maneuvers consistently we will work on solidifying fundamental movements.

• Compression
• Extension
• Rotation
• Speed generation etc

Then refining core maneuvers.

• Bottom turn
• Cut back
• Snap
• Re-entry etc

​For those with competitive aspirations we will cover 

• Contest criteria and format 
• Goal setting 
• Strategy 
• Surf psychology etc

Sessions are tailored to each surfer’s goals and abilities and will use interactive beach coaching with skills specific drills in combination with video analysis to refine these aspects of your surfing. Depending on your skill level, ocean conditions and the number of session we will be working together, your sessions may include side-by-side surf instruction with Shannon in the water.​
