The Blueprint.
A structured private coaching programme, built for surfers who want to actually improve.
Most surfers plateau. This fixes that.
You get in the water, catch waves, and feel like you're improving. Then six months later you're practising the same habits in exactly the same way. The problem was never effort. It's direction.
You'll surf differently.
Not marginally better. Differently. You'll understand why you catch or miss waves, what your body is doing wrong, and exactly what to work on every time you paddle out, with or without a coach.
"The difference between going to the gym randomly and working with a personal trainer."
Every session includes
What you're paying for: a coach who knows where you're going before you paddle out.
- Private coaching: 2-hour sessions, 3 or 6 depending on your package
- Video analysis: sent via WhatsApp after every session
- Session notes: written, with your personal focus points
- Progression plan: built around your ability and goals from day one
- Ongoing support: WhatsApp and email between every session
- Full handover: an independent practice plan and next goals
Six sessions, each with a purpose
Every milestone builds on the last: assessment, correction, breakthrough, pressure, refinement, handover.
Assessment
Jack observes your natural surfing before saying a word, with video filmed throughout. This is the diagnostic everything else is built from.
Identifying the weakness
Your single biggest limiting factor is targeted and drilled with real-time feedback, with video comparison showing the change.
Breakthrough
Corrections stop being conscious and start being instinctive. The next technical layer comes into focus: wave reading and positioning.
Pressure
Technique is pushed into more challenging conditions, making clear what's genuinely locked in and what still needs work.
Refinement
A full overview of technique and competency in the water, leaving no stone unturned.
Handover
A full transformation video, session one versus session six, plus a written plan for what to focus on next.
Find your track
Both follow the same coaching structure. The destination is different.
Beginner track
Brand-new surfers, or anyone who can't yet consistently get to their feet.
Paddling into green waves, popping up with correct technique, and surfing independently.
Intermediate track
Surfers riding green waves inconsistently, whose progress has stalled.
Surfing with intent, understanding every wave you ride and every turn you make.
Two packages, one system
What you're paying for is the structure: a coach who knows where you're going, every session building on the last.
