Honestly, this was next level. Overdelivered big time — for what the course costs, the material is broken down so professionally, and you see results almost right away. Before training with Sebas... See more

Seb transformed my surfing in one session of video analysis. It is obvious he has insane technical knowledge of biomechanics and years of pro experience to help anyone improve, no matter their level.... See more

Company details

  1. Surf School

Written by the company

Onland surf training At The Surfskate Academy we apply a training method that is based on the repetition and automation of all the movements necessary for good progression in your surfing. A session of surfskate training with a surf coach is equivalent to dozens of hours of surfing in the water. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced surfer, surfskate training is ideal for correcting bad habits, perfecting your technique, understanding the biomechanics of your body, increasing your confidence, improving your balance and opening your mind to be able to read the waves in different ways. Surfskate training is ideal to stay in shape and be able to continue practising in those dry periods of waves or when you don't have enough time to be able to leave the city to go surfing

10/10!!

Really enjoyed the session. Starting from understanding of how surfkates work and the body movements.

When i got onto the board, I was really assisted and instructed clearly. Considering that it was my first session, i think i made a good progress in surfskating. And i just got addicted to it!

Highly Recommended

Highly recommended, Seb offers excellent one-to-one coaching and group sessions which are a blast. I have always enjoyed skateboarding but Seb coaching has taken me to a whole new level and additionally improved my surfing and wave count, I always leave looking forward to the next session.

Intermediate/Advanced session

Just completed the Intermediate/advanced session with Seb and loved every second. The structure of the lesson allows progression at your pace but pushes you to keep improving (and sweating!). Can’t recommend this land based training enough for improving surf skills and SurfSkate Academy is the place to do it! Thanks, Seb.

Amazing Surfskate experience!

My first approach to surfskate and first experience was absolutely brilliant thanks to Sebastian @ The Surfskate Academy. Coming from a skateboarding background and wanting to improve my surfing technique I felt really comfortable with how the class developed. Seba knows a lot about technique and how to correct mistakes to improve fast and for good. Definitely recommend to give it a go!

Fantastic

Incredible session thanks Sebastian! The whole setup is great and there is clear care, thought and passion put into the approach. Sebastian responded really well to the different needs in our group and built trust and confidence with our young people really quickly. Before the session Sebastian was open to talking through how everything would work and how we could ensure it was all safe. Can't recommend enough. Dave - Big 6 Project

The Surf Skate Academy da real deal…

The Surf Skate Academy are the real deal when land training for surf. The approach is professional and all skills totally transferable from surfskate to surfing. I thoroughly enjoyed my first session and have so much to learn and apply to a proper technique in the water. A must for anyone wanting to learn surfskate or up their game in the surf. For some context, i'm 41 years old and surfed very averagely for 20+ years, I wish I had this level of tutorage when I started but equally, super stoked to discover now and with practice realise more potential. 5⭐️

Great surf-skate class

My son, whose is 10, loved his lessons with Sebastian and he felt he mastered how to do it under his instruction very quickly and has now been looking at buying his own surfskate. I would definitely recommend The Surf Skate Academy.

100% would recommend to anyone of any level! I had my first lesson today as an intermediate-ish surfer and I have learned so much, I was made aware of some bad habbits I have picked up through some video analysis. I will definitely be going back as I cant wait to learn more! Sebastian is very knowledgeable, helpful, patient and friendly:)
