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 \u2013 whether it\u2019s a movement or a thought pattern. 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.

You can duckdive or do the turtle roll. You also manage to get into the line-up in more challenging conditions and you are ok with up to head-high waves. You mainly want to improve your take-off, because you still wipe-out a lot, especially when the waves get bigger and steeper. Regarding maneuvers, you want to improve bottom and top turn and maybe already learn the cutback. You want to improve your wave selection and positioning. Mentally, you want to work on staying focused, getting into your flow more easily and making the right decisions in challenging situations. Another topic will be overcoming fear and building confidence, especially regarding bigger waves or crowded line-ups.

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<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"\">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&#8217;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<p>[\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial author=&#8221;Nicole, Surftraining Retreat Aljezur (Level: intermediate)&#8221; portrait_url=&#8221;https:\/\/surfmentaltraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Testimonial-Nicole-Version-Surf_circle-crop.png&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>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.<br \/>I wished the week would never end.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial author=&#8221;Roswitha, Surftraining Retreat Aljezur (Level: intermediate)&#8221; portrait_url=&#8221;https:\/\/surfmentaltraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Foto-fu\u0308r-Testimonial-Rosie.jpg&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"\">I&#8217;ve been surfing for quite some time now. Unfortunately, I&#8217;ve only been surfing occasionally for the last few years and my level has stagnated as a result&#8230; 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&#8217;t always clean and the flow wasn&#8217;t correct and after every &#8220;ridden&#8221; wave I had the feeling that my movements were too smooth and not correct &#8211; especially when it came to my upper body (arms).   <\/div>\n<div class=\"\">With Kim&#8217;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&#8217;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 &#8220;dry&#8221;.   <\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"\">Conclusion: This retreat is an insider tip in mental, sporting and social terms.
