Josh and Dave Surf Trip

This was one of the most unique and fun surftrips we have ever organized. Both Dave and Josh wanted more of a coached surftrip with in-water coaching and video analysis for each to work on specific aspects to improve their surfing. This meant we had to find one or two spots with the right type of waves and setting for Dave and Josh to work on their surfing goals … and not only did we find it but the break gave us 4 to 5 hours a day of similar waves for Josh and Dave to practice what we reviewed during each the video analysis

The ocean seemed to be aligned with Dave and Josh intent and although we had two mid size swells during the week and both swells had a similar angle so waves where mostly the same shape all week and all that varied was the size. Perfect to work on improvements

Dave and Josh where focused and somedays surfed 4 to 5 hours straight fueled by clif bars and fruits…. batteries ran out, daylight turned to dusk and arms turned to jelly; but everyone was smiling and happy

It was really inspirational to see how Josh and Dave progressed from one day to the next. From simple adjustments as speed turns to more complicated maneuvers like off the lips which required understanding of the approach and execution as well as posture and flow. This guys were focused and determined and yet were always smiling and having fun. Overall it was a great fun week and I am happy Josh and Dave achieved their surfing goals for the trip.
