One To One, Intermediate and Advanced Coaching

One to one coaching is available to surfers of any level who would like the undivided and individual attention of a professional surf coach.

Whether you are a novice surfer who would prefer private lessons or an intermediate to advanced surfer who wants to concentrate on specific areas of your surfing, our one to one sessions are designed to focus solely on you and your surfing needs.

Novice Surfers

If you want to learn as quickly as possible, concentrating on the areas you find most challenging and spending less time on the things that come easily, one to one coaching is ideal for you. Perhaps you’ve always wanted to try surfing but the sea causes you high levels of anxiety. With one to one coaching at Big Blue Surf School a qualified and experienced surf coach and beach lifeguard will be right next to you, concentrating on your safety and offering you the reassurance you need to relax and enjoy surfing to the full.

Intermediate Surfers

Do you need someone to guide you ‘out back’? Do you want to be shown how to use rips, duck dive or turtle roll? Do you need to know where to sit once you’re ‘out back’, which part of the wave to catch or which wave is the best? Do you want on work on specific maneuvers; bottom turns, top turns, cutbacks, floaters or re-entries? Or have you reached a plateau where no matter how hard you try you aren’t progressing? Then try either a one to one session with one of our professional coaches, like English National Team Coach Jon Price, or call us to find out about our regular intermediate courses.

Advanced Surfers

The quickest and easiest way to improve! These days everybody accepts that the best way to learn the basics is through coaching. The world’s best surfers have coaches. So the only people not receiving the massive benefits of professional coaching are people like you!

Seek advice on any part of you surfing from surf fitness, to nutrition and mental fitness. Fine tune maneuvers.
