COACHING
Your wave. Your progression. Your coach.
Your wave. Your progression. Your coach.
Make every session count.
Surfing is more fun when you’re progressing.
DSRT Surf coaching is designed to help surfers of every age and ability build confidence, improve faster, and get more out of every wave. Whether you’re standing up for the first time or looking to take your surfing to the next level, our coaches meet you where you are and help you move forward.
Choose from assisted Learn to Surf lessons, private 1-on-1 coaching, group coaching, and video review sessions powered by SurfEye. Each experience is built around your ability, your goals, and what will make the biggest difference in your surfing.
Our coaches simplify the learning process with clear, actionable feedback—in the water and through video—so you spend less time guessing and more time surfing.
Better surfing. More confidence. More fun.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
You've just had your first session. You've caught your first waves, and you're hooked. Now you want to know what to actually do with that. Coaching takes you from "I can stand up" to "I know what I'm doing out there."
You've been surfing for a while, but progress has stalled. Inconsistent conditions make it hard to build on technique. Here, every wave is the same, which means every session compounds. A coach helps you identify exactly what's holding you back and fix it fast.
You're an experienced surfer pushing performance. You're already surfing well. This is about sharpening the details — timing, rail work, critical sections, and reading the wave. The things that separate good from really good.
WHAT TO EXPECT
ARRIVALArrive 30 minutes before your session. Check in, get your equipment sorted, and meet your coach.
IN THE WATERYour coach is with you for the full session — not on the beach with a clipboard. Real-time feedback, immediate adjustments, and constant support throughout every wave.
Pre-SessionBefore you paddle out your coach takes the time to understand your level, your goals, and what you want to get out of the session. No assumptions — just a session built around you from the start.
POST SESSIONSession done. Your coach walks you through what clicked, what to work on, and what your next session looks like. You leave with a clear picture of where you're at and exactly what to focus on next.

Learn to Surf is a structured 1:1 program designed specifically for beginners and first-time surfers, with a focus on building the fundamentals such as pop-up technique, balance, and confidence in the water. Coaching is also a 1:1 experience, but it is tailored to your current skill level and progression goals. It is designed for surfers who already have the basics and want personalised feedback, technical refinement, and focused guidance to take their surfing further.
