• Basic fitness for paddling

Have you already completed one or more surf courses and want to improve and refine your technique?

Then you’ve come to the right place!

We invite you to come to our surfcamp in northern Spain, the only one of its kind to date, specializing exclusively in intermediate surfers. Away from mass tourism and crowded beaches, we’ll make your next surf trip a unique experience.

Our Intermediate surfcoaching is customized to suit your skills and needs. To make this possible, the courses take place exclusively in small groups (maximum 8 students in our class). Through targeted video analysis, we will find and correct potential errors, work on the right posture, and help you find the best line in the wave. This training is enhanced with an additional Surfskate session to implement what you have learned and work on the most important surfing maneuvers such as bottom turn, top turn and cutback. To get the most out of every day, Spotguiding is included! So we always find the beach with the best conditions for your level. In addition, we adapt our courses to the current surf conditions and factors such as wind, tides and wave size. In our surfboard quiver you will find everything that makes a surfer’s heart beat faster. We offer a variety of different surfboards and shapes. Ideal for trying new things and finding the board that suits you.

The aim of this intensive course is to optimize the positioning and timing in the unbroken wave and thus significantly increase the number of surfed waves.

Tip:

To prepare for your surfing adventure and get the most out of it, we recommend a few exercises and activities that can help you to maximize your wave count.

1. Swimming

Visit the nearest city pool and swim a few laps. When you are swimming you use your muscles in a similar way to the paddling motion.

2. Diving

While surfing you will also spend some time underwater every now and then. It is therefore useful to train holding your breath or do free diving exercises. As a result, you are well prepared and much more relaxed if a wave keeps you under water a little longer.

3. Strength training

Whether you go the gym or do a few push-ups at home in front of the TV, improving your strength will help you with the take-off.

4. Endurance

Going for a jog every now and then won’t hurt. You’ll be thankful for this tip as you fight your way into the line-up.

5. Watch surf movies

It increases the anticipation and you can actually learn a lot! While it’s not guaranteed that you can surf as well as John John and shoot out of the barrel and do a sick air, it’s still a lot of fun.
