Is This Intermediate Course Right for You?
The intermediate plateau is where most surfers get stuck for years. Our Surf Course for Intermediate Surfers provides the scientific instruction needed to break through.
Symptoms of the Intermediate Plateau
- •You can catch unbroken waves, but you struggle to generate speed and get outrun by the section.
- •Your bottom turns feel stiff, often causing your rails to dig into the face or drop speed.
- •You hesitate when positioning at crowded point break peaks and miss the prime takeoff zones.
- •You ride straight down the line without executing functional cutbacks to get back to the power pocket.
Skills Mastered in This Course
- Compression & Extension: Pumping rhythmically on the high line to generate speed at will.
- Dynamic Bottom Turn: Low hip hinge, opening shoulders, and projecting up into the critical pocket.
- Roundhouse Cutback Basics: Wrapping back to the whitewater rebound to stay in the power source.
- Lineup Confidence: Peak positioning, reading set angles, and taking priority with authority.

What Is Included in Your $380 Tuition:
Projector Theory & Biomechanical Video Reviews
You cannot correct what you cannot see. Our high-definition cameras capture your entire wave from takeoff to finish.
Projector Theory: The Physics of Turning
We use the classroom projector to break down how water flows along your surfboard rails, why looking in the direction of the turn initiates shoulder rotation, and how shifting weight from front to back foot releases the fins.
- Rail curvature & fin toe-in mechanics
- Head and upper-body rotation mapping
2x Video Analysis Sessions
During session 2 and session 5, our videographer shoots your waves with a 600mm telephoto lens. We sit together in the AC media room to analyze your stance, knee bend, and transition timing frame-by-frame.
- Side-by-side comparison with pro surfer posture
- Clear homework focus for your next water session
