"I am a landlocked surfer from Germany, so training on land to maximize the fun and progress during my limited time in the water is key.

I can't wait to hit the water in the Canary..." Read more

"I've been learning how to surf from your online surf program with my mum and I love it. I really like the Bosu Ball balance practise and the unique cardboard slide concept. And I can also ride a carver skate board properly now."

"Learning to surf is stressful. Battling through white water to get out, fighting currents to stay in place, identifying your status in the lineup and having to deal with the alphas, paddling into a looming set-all are just precursors to catching the wave. Then tunnel vision compresses your view, paddling blindly into a wave, feeling it smash behind you, stru..." Read more
