Surf Workshop

Date: Spring 2024 - exact dates TBC

Location: The Wave, Bristol

This autumn I am hosting a surf workshop in collaboration with The Wave in Bristol. I absolutely love surfing and wanted to put together a rad day for intermediate surfers who are really looking to progress with a like-minded crew of people.  Whether you’re looking to improve your take-off, bust out a solid cutback or instil more confidence in the water this is the workshop for you!  I have a great team of experts onboard, all of whom have helped me to improve my own performance both on snow and in the surf.  The one-day workshop will comprise of high-level surf coaching with video / photo analysis and the mindset sessions providing insight into the athlete mind and an understanding of how to apply this to your own surf development.

The workshop is located at the incredible Wave in Bristol - an awesome inland surf destination where you can surf consistent, friendly waves all year round making it the ideal environment within which to improve.  

The workshop’s unique approach to coaching - both the physical and mental aspects of surfing, together with the consistant waves will have you raising your own personal bar and getting stoked on the process.
