One to One Surf Coaching one to tone surf coaching
If you feel insecure learning in a large group of people you may or may not know and you would rather learn on your own or you feel that you will learn quicker with one to one coaching then this lesson will be perfect for you. You can be at any level of surfing to do this type of lesson and it is created for you in order to get the most out of your lesson. We can concentrate on specific areas where you want to increase the skill in and don’t worry your coach will be very friendly and enthusiastic so you don’t have to feel embarrassed or shy. We have all been in the same place as you at one point so we know how you feel, that's why we will make it as fun as possible. If you feel like you want to bring a friend then we can do 2:1 lessons as well. Another friend can just make the lesson even more fun.

 

Here is what you can expect from a 1:1 or 2:1 lesson:
1. Meet: We will meet you at the Long Line Surf Cabin based down beside Benone Tourist Complex where you can meet your friendly and enthusiastic coach.


2. Health and Safety Check: We will collect in health and safety forms which you have filled out so we can advice you appropriately on how the lesson will run.


3. Get your kit on! : We will kit you out with a surfboard, a warm well fitting wetsuit and a very stylish Long Line high visibility rash vest so we know exactly where you are when we get in the water.


4. Changing: Personal belongings can be left in the unit and valuables can be locked up in the secure safety box.


5. Warm up: We will then walk down to the beach through a short scenic route over the sand dunes. Once we get settled on the beach then you will be taken through a gentle warm up and be taken over surf safety information. 


6. Dry Land Coaching: This will consist of explanations, demonstrations and you practising your skills with the coach keeping a close eye on you and what you can do to improve on certain skills you may already know. What you are taught in this lesson will depend on your knowledge and level of surfing. In some cases you may go in the water first for the coach can see exactly where you are at to decide how to teach you from there.


7. Water coaching: When we go in the water your coach will watch you constantly and be able to give you positive feedback and encouragement and how to improve. This is usually the best place to be told where to improve because the coach can see exactly what you are doing when you surf. In some cases you may be taken back on the beach to be showed how to do a certain technique again so you won’t fall behind. Demonstrations can be a great tool in learning as you can see exactly what is needed to be done.


8. Final Tips: When lesson comes to an end then you will be given final tips on how to keep improving and practice standing. Then it’s time to dry off!
