The Protest SurfGirl Experience - Phase Two Coaching Course September 29-30

What to Expect:

The weekend is aimed at girls from 8 - 80 who have surfed before and are at a level where paddling, catching waves and getting to their feet is no longer a problem. The course is being held early in autumn to limit crowds and increase the chance of scoring reasonable waves.

Surfing lessons will be held in smaller groups than usual to allow more individual focus, pin point areas that need improving and work on specific manoeuvres from bottom turning to floaters as necessary.

You’ll be taught by top surf instructors from the English Surf Federation Centre of Excellence plus Protest team riders.

Video analysis will be used to identify problems and troubleshoot technique faults. There will also be specific manoeuvre training/fitness tips by British Junior surf team coach and sports scientist Glenn Eldridge. But don’t worry, it’s not boot camp and there will be plenty of laughs along the way, as well as a chill out yoga session to end the weekend.

What you need:

We would expect most girls to bring their own equipment but can help out if you need some - contact Rob for help. Other than your board and wetsuit we recommend some warm, loose clothing that you can easily change to and from. Thin layers and a warm, waterproof jacket are essential. If you have your own yoga mat please bring it along, otherwise a beach towel is fine.

Fitness:

The fitter that you are, the more you will get out of the course, but it isn’t boot camp! If you’re tired you can rest and rejoin the group when suits you. It’s a matter of everybody improving at their own pace with a laid back feel to the course.
