DO I FIT IN
Everybody is welcome, the only requirement is that you do have some sort of background with surfing, you have already done a lesson once in your life and you have some basic knowledge about ocean safety and surfing.
This trip is meant for any adult surfer who is at the beginner to intermediate level.
In the coaching we will teach fundamental basics like the pop up, line up control and take off.
But also we will talk about how to surf the green waves, make your first turns and possible some nice cross steps for the long boarders.
Check out the video of our last intermediate trip!
Surf Trip program
For the coaching sessions, we made sure to accommodate every level:
With the wide variety of waves we will always be able to find some conditions that suit the group.
Daily video coaching
When it comes to coaching we offer the full package! We are aiming to coach you in the line up, as well as film your waves from the beach! Every day we will find a wave, help you catch the best waves, and do the video analysis afterwards. The combination of someone helping you in the line up, and seeing yourself surf on video afterwards is very accurate for your progression. At the end of the trip you will receive all your surf video’s in your mailbox!
daily 1-on-1 coaching
On the first and the last day you will have 1-on-1 moments with Daan Groeneveld, you’ll set personal goals for the trip and more!
Smoothstar clinics
In the surf analysis we will detect some hiccups in your surfing, then we grab the smoothstar surf skate to improve those on land. In the 1-on-1 moments, we will film your skills. You’ll be given drills to practice that will accurately make you surf better.
Also we’ll do group simulation training to make you understand surf technique and grow muscle memory to use in the water.
APNEA TRAINING
Big wave hold downs won’t be a problem for you anymore! We’ll do apnea training in the pool for those that are interested. Learn to calm yourself while being underwater and have a correct mindset for when the waves get bigger!
Daan is a AIDA 2 freediver and will help you through this safely.
Yoga
There might be moments in the trip when there really is no Surf, and Surfing 7 days in a row can be heavy on your body. On the potential day that the waves are bad we will organize a yoga class to relax and spoil your muscles!
Transport
No need to worry about transport at all. Airport pick-ups, drives to other locations etc. everything is included in the trip, the only thing left to do is book your flight!
