What you train is what you get! What you train is what you get! This saying couldn\u2019t be more true: what you train for will show in your surfing performance. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to train with a coach. Your coach will help you learn the RIGHT technique. Whether it\u2019s a movement or a thought pattern, your coach can help you make real progress. We believe that this is what is often missing in classic surf camps. In our retreat you get: focused, professional and efficient surf coaching and mental training. Surf, train, REPEAT!<\/p>\n

Surfing goals<\/strong>:
Improve take-off, practice bottom and top turn, learn first maneuvers & duck dive, get more waves

Overcome fear and panic, build up self-confidence and courage, learn how to control your thoughts<\/p>\n

Your surfing level “experienced” beginner – low intermediate:<\/strong><\/p>\n

You still surf a big board or a board with a lot of volume. You can independently paddle out to the line-up and catch small green waves. You still struggle with the take-off. Especially when the waves get a bit steeper and faster, you\u2019ll nosedive or fall off. You can ride a wave to the left and right, but you don\u2019t really know how to do turns or how to properly generate speed. In general, you want to know more about independently checking out a surf spot and better assessing the surf conditions. Mentally, you are mainly concerned with overcoming fear and building self-confidence, especially regarding bigger waves or a crowded line-up. But there is also room for other mental topics. In any case, we coach you on your individual surf- and mental goals.<\/p>\n

You don’t need any experience for the surfskate.<\/p>\n

        I’ve been a passionate surfer myself for over 18 years and I’ve seenc especially in women that fear ruins their joy of surfing. I want to change that. After all, it often only takes a few mental coaching sessions to make a big impact.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

            I’ve been a passionate surfer myself for over 18 years and I see, especially with women, that they can’t live up to their surfing potential because they get in their own way. She wants to change that. Because it often only takes a few mental coaching sessions to take a huge step forward. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

              I started surfing in 2018 and although I’ve always been a water rat and an extremely good swimmer, I realized that I have a great fear of currents and drowning when surfing. In addition, I always put myself under a lot of pressure to perform, which regularly led to mental blocks in the line-up. And then, of course, it was also about improving certain technical things, such as paddling into waves, correct take-off timing and becoming more confident in the line-up. I felt very comfortable at the retreat. The group was perfect with 8 participants, so it was easy to open up and share fears and challenges with the other women. <\/div>\n
              \n
              Kim as a person has a very emphatic and gentle yet challenging manner, which helped me to trust myself more and to approach surfing more intuitively. The coaching from Kim and Vasco and the week at the retreat enabled me to correctly analyze every spot I’ve been to since then and to assess on my own whether I can go into the water. I finally dared to go surfing on my own and paddle out to waves despite the high male quota and feel at home in the line-up. The reward came after almost 3 years of surfing: A beautiful green wave, for me and my longboard all by myself in Witsands (South Africa). <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

              [\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial author=”Nicole, Surftraining Retreat Aljezur (Level: intermediate)” portrait_url=”https:\/\/surfmentaltraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Testimonial-Nicole-Version-Surf_circle-crop-Kopie.png” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

              I was totally blown away from this retreat. The whole setting was so great, professional but really familiar as well. The daily Video analysis helped me to see what I have to change in the water. And on top of it learning the movements on the surfskate first and than try to make the transfer in the water really helped me to improve in just one week. The mental training put me in the right mindset and I learned more about me in general. Also I now know how I want to feel in the line up and how I can accomplish this with my mental warm up. This week gave me a lot of tools with which I can keep on working now and improve even more in the future.
              I wished the week would never end.<\/p>\n

              [\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial author=”Roswitha, Surftraining Retreat Aljezur (Level: intermediate)” portrait_url=”https:\/\/surfmentaltraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Foto-fuer-Testimonial-Rosie-Kopie.jpg” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

              I’ve been surfing for quite some time now. Unfortunately, I’ve only been surfing occasionally for the last few years and my level has stagnated as a result… My enjoyment of surfing has therefore diminished dramatically and frustration has been my constant companion in the lineup. I also get distracted very quickly (in general) and have trouble focusing. On top of that, my duckdive wasn’t always clean and the flow wasn’t correct and after every “ridden” wave I had the feeling that my movements were too smooth and not correct – especially when it came to my upper body (arms). <\/div>\n
              With Kim’s help, I was able to change my mindset to a positive one in no time at all during the retreat. Since the intensive duck diving training in the pool, I’m now happy when a big, powerful wave rolls towards me. The video analysis while surfing has given me clarity about my mistakes. And I bought a surf skate to practise the movements in the “dry”. <\/div>\n
              <\/div>\n
              Conclusion: This retreat is an insider tip in mental, sporting and social terms. Great! Merci <3 <\/div>\n

              I was nervous when I arrived in Aljezur, assuming that in the following next days, I\u2019d be forced to face anxieties and fears. But hello, this super warm welcome, the friendly atmosphere within the group made me calm down so fast, that I didn\u2019t even remember what I was scared of. In contrary I was warmly invited to face what hold me back, never pushed or forced to go beyond my borders. Kim, Vasco and Marta\u2019s kindness and caring attitude made this retreat unique. I\u2019m so grateful that I had the chance to meet this beautiful souls and yes, on top of everything I even did progress in Surfing and Skating. Thank you so much for this amazing time. With love, Bet\u00fcl<\/p>\n

              You have the confidence to surf faster and steeper waves.<\/p>\n

              You remain calm even in challenging situations. If fear or anxiety creeps up, you can calm down and regain composure.<\/p>\n

              You feel much more comfortable in a crowded line-up and can catch your waves more confidently.<\/p>\n

              You can concentrate on what\u2019s important and keep your focus, no matter what! You know that as soon as the waves get a little more challenging, that\u2019s one of the most important skills to have.<\/p>\n

              You have a positive mindset, and you can identify which surf conditions offer you the best opportunities and possibilities.<\/p>\n

              With every session, you’ll get more waves and have even more fun surfing!<\/p>\n

              Because you are more confident, you can also start exploring new surf spots.<\/p>\n
