SW Portugal intensive
Step into 6 days of immersive study in southwestern Portugal, where land and ocean become your classroom. This post‑graduate style intensive is designed for surf coaches, yoga teachers, movement professionals, and dedicated surfers who want to understand surfing from the inside out.
What you will experience:
-
A full immersion into the language and practice of Surfing Anatomy, built around the 3‑volume Surfing Anatomy book series.
-
Practical biomechanics for paddling, take‑off, rail work, and turning, so you can coach and move with more precision.
-
Anatomy‑in‑motion, forecasting basics, and coastal reading, connecting what you see on the charts to what you feel under your feet.
This teacher training goes beyond “tips and tricks” and gives you a structured framework to analyse movement, design better sessions, and speak about surfing with clarity and confidence.
Maldives advanced intensive
Part two of this journey continues in the Maldives, where you apply your new knowledge in world‑class waves. This advanced Teacher Training Intensive focuses on higher‑level wave riding and decision making: barrel strategy, airs, committed turns, and how to coach them safely and effectively.
What you will experience:
-
Daily surf sessions on quality reef breaks, with conditions that reward rail surfing, timing, and positioning.
-
Evening video analysis that dissects biomechanics, line choice, entry and exit strategies, and advanced maneuvers frame by frame.
-
Structured discussions on reading powerful waves, managing risk, and creating progression pathways for intermediate to advanced surfers.
This is your chance to link deep theory with real‑time decision making in one of the most iconic surf zones on the planet.
Who this is for
This intensive is ideal if you:
-
Are a qualified or aspiring surf coach wanting a post‑grad layer of understanding in biomechanics, anatomy, and skill acquisition.
-
Teach yoga or movement and want to translate your knowledge to the ocean with surf‑specific language, progressions, and cues.
-
Are a committed surfer ready to deepen your personal practice and make sense of the “why” behind your technique and progression.
Expect a blend of theory sessions, practical drills, in‑water application (conditions permitting), and evening debriefs that link your coaching eye with your own surfing.
Results you walk away with
By the end of these intensives you will:
-
See patterns in movement and wave behaviour that you previously “felt” but could not clearly explain.
-
Design more precise coaching sessions and learning experiences for your students or clients, on land and in the water.
-
Hold more confidence in your own surfing, with a clearer roadmap for your next phase of progression.
If you want to move beyond surface‑level coaching and step into a more complete understanding of surfing as a language, practice, and lifelong study, these Surfing Anatomy Teacher Training Intensives are built for you
