Advanced Surfers: are defined as surfers who can perform the intermediate manoeuvres of surfing and want to continue advancing their performance. They are surfers who are confident in the line-up when catching waves, and catch good waves on a daily basis. They may also be competitive by nature, and are looking for a winning edge in competition heats.
In this curriculum, surf coaches will learn effective coaching techniques to guide “advanced surfers” in:
- how to attack a wave by showing more risk and commitment using the manoeuvres they already know how to perform,
- teaching them how to perform the progressive manoeuvres of surfing,
- teaching better on-wave manoeuvre and manoeuvre combination decisions,
- and teaching them how to surf competition heats in a professional manner. This includes better pre-heat preparation, in-heat strategy execution and professional post-heat reviews.
The “foundation” and “intermediate” level skills already mastered in previous development stages, will allow surfers to learn the advanced manoeuvres and advanced decision-making skills necessary for advanced surfing. Those surfers with missing pieces in their performance make-up however, will struggle to master these advanced skills unless their deficiencies are pin-pointed and eliminated. This is why it’s critical that the foundational skills of surfing must be mastered, as they are the key to advanced surfing performances.
And this is the secret of surf coaching as it pertains to guiding surfers to advanced and elite performances. Long…. slow…. development over time. It can’t be rushed, especially when working with real talent, talent that has the potential to take on the world.
This E-book has been developed from Martin’s experiences, coaching thousands of surfers over a 40 year period. In it he shares the training theory, drills, and soft skills surf coaches need to guide “advanced surfers” to better daily and winning performances.
