Beginner training plan
Your first lessonFor the first lesson, my focus is on creating a safe, supportive, and exciting introduction to surfing. I start by building trust and confidence on land using Wave Ki fundamentals covering ocean awareness, board safety, positioning, and a step-by-step breakdown of paddling and pop-up technique. I’m very hands-on during this stage, giving clear demonstrations, gentle corrections, and encouragement throughout. In the water, I stay close and guide each wave, helping students feel successful early while reinforcing Wave Ki principles like flow, breath, and timing. My goal is for every beginner to leave their first lesson smiling, empowered, and believing they can surf.
Lesson 11+For lessons eleven and beyond, my coaching becomes highly customized. Students are now building their own surf style, and I use Wave Ki principles to help refine technique, improve flow, and deepen their connection to the ocean. Whether the focus is wave reading, performance turns, confidence in bigger surf, or simply having more fun, I’m fully present and committed to their growth. I take pride in mentoring surfers long-term and genuinely care about their journey. My goal is to guarantee continued progress while helping each student fall in love with surfing in a way that lasts a lifetime.
Lesson 4-10From lessons four through ten, students experience real progression. At this stage, I help surfers transition from “riding waves” to truly surfing them. Using Wave Ki methodology, we work on trimming, turning, speed control, positioning, and reading changing conditions. I stay very hands-on, offering detailed coaching, personalized drills, and confidence-building challenges that push students just beyond their comfort zone. My passion really shines here I celebrate breakthroughs, help students overcome fear, and guarantee they’re developing the skills needed to surf more independently and consistently.
