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

Sebastian is a great teacher who has a well structured program to learn correct technique for surfskating. Already made improvements after my first lesson that I would not have been able to make just by watching videos online.

FUN and possibly addictive!

I have had a couple of one-to-one lessons to get started - I had no prior skateboarding experience and feel that focused coaching has set me up well!

Sebastian is very good at explaining and demonstrating each exercise and will ensure you leave each session with tangible progression.

I would strongly encourage anyone to give it a go - beware, it is FUN and possibly addictive!

Group session with Seb

The group lesson with Seb was great, we had varying levels of experience with surfing and surf skating but the class structure allowed everyone to learn decent foundations in technique to start progressing into harder drills. I had a great time and will be coming back for more!

Just great

Sessions are great fun and I always learn something. Seba's exercises and tips to improve technique and movements on the board are very good and I have felt an improvement in the water too! Would recommend 100%

Great stuff...

Had my first surfskate session yesterday with Seba (and a small group) and had a great time and was really impressed. Being a surfer but faced with long flat spells i had heard surfskate training could help progress my surfing, so thought id give it a shot. By the end of the session i could really see how doing these drills will genuinely transfer to my surfing. (If i could do these moves on a surfskate, on water it should be even easier :)). Seba is professional whilst maintaining a very easy going attitude amongst the group, with focus and humour in equal measures. I am stoked with what i came away with, and looking forward to my next session.... and putting it together in the water :))

Sebastian is an excellent Surfskate teacher! He provides both a great mix of instructional and practical activities. As a beginner, I felt pushed to learn and try out new competencies, felt safe and supported in doing so and gained valuable feedback that helped me to improve my skills.

Sebastian is a great coach

Sebastian is a great coach. He ran a session with 4 of us (all over 35years old) & total beginner skaters - it was great fun! He explained everything really clearly and progressed the session at a nice pace so we tried out a few different skills and we all improved our technique (whilst having a good laugh)! The best bit was going surfing the next day and feeling like my positioning on the board had already improved! I can’t wait for my next session with the surf-skate academy!

Style, flow & skills

Coaching from Sebba has been a lot of fun, lots of technical progression, much more flow, style and coming out of manoeuvers with speed.

The learning has transitioned straight into my surfing managing complete roundhouse cuttys and totally stoked!

Really excited to continue progression on hacks and tail slides/laybacks, coaching feedback and photos are super helpful and on point, thank you Sebba!

Fantastic teaching

I absolutely loved my lesson with Sebastian yesterday! He broke down the moves into simple steps, and was so encouraging. After one session I'm already addicted - thank you!

I am a surf coach of 4 years

I am a surf coach of 4 years, a sponsored surfer and as part of this for years I have been aware of the benefits of surf skate training to improve surfing and work on specific aspects, however I honestly didn’t know just how good, valuable and accurate the surf skate training could be until I done my first session with Sebastian, he is a super talented surfer and skater but more importantly was able to connect with me and my needs as a coach in a way that many others couldn’t, also taking into account some physical restrictions I have.

I throughly recommend this and the Surf Skate Academy, cheers……
