Surf Coaching Weekend , Sopela
21, 22 March 2026
Two days of intensive surf coaching with video analysis on the Basque coast for intermediate to advanced surfers.
About this event
Two intensive days of surf coaching on the Basque coast. Under the guidance of an experienced coach, you’ll work on technique, tactics and body mechanics, both in and out of the water. Video analysis helps you identify exactly where you can improve.
Sopelana’s consistent waves and stunning surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for a life-changing surfing experience.
What to expect
Functional Training & Dry Land Practice
We’ll start with functional training and surf-specific exercises. You’ll work on mobility, strength and coordination to improve your performance in the water. On land, we’ll cover techniques such as wave positioning, paddling efficiency and body mechanics.
In-Water Coaching & Surf Techniques
With personalised surfing coaching, you can fine-tune the specific aspects relevant to your level: paddling, wave selection, positioning, stance, building speed, and manoeuvres such as cutbacks, snaps, re-entries and roundhouses. An experienced coach will be in the water with you to provide real-time feedback.
Video Analyse & Performance Refinement
After each session, we analyse the footage together to identify areas for improvement. Video analysis is a powerful tool for visualising your performance and pinpointing exactly where you can refine your technique. You’ll go home with actionable insights.
