Level 2 surf coach!

Hey folks, another wee update from Narosa in Aus. Still having a great time out here, the banks have improved and the swell this week has been really fun. I spent the last few days doing my level 2 coaching qualification which was an unreal experience. I was truly humbled on the course by the experience of the coaches and the others taking the qualification. There were a few professional surfers and even ex world champion Barton Lynch were taking the course with me!

There was a great deal of information to take in on all aspects of surfing from fitness and nutrition, to sports psychology and plenty on dynamic balance and surfing technique. They mixed up the course with a surfing assessment, beach and pool fitness and specific training techniqes. Everyone on the course was great fun and really good to talk to about surfing, the more you learn the more you appreciate the difficulty of this exceptional sport!

I am really looking forward to coaching surfers with Narosa this year from that novice stage right through to advanced maneuvers and competitive surfing. There are so many people that can improve their surfing ability with a few simple changes in technique and when it starts to work for you, the extra enjoyment you get from the waves is unreal!

I am back in a couple of weeks but looking forward to a trip up to the sunshine coast to see a good friend, visit australia zoo and get into some more good waves. Also got the first event of the world pro tour coming up just down the road at snapper rocks! The bank is looking good and Kelly Slater is in town!
