SURF COACHING, BUILT AROUND YOU
We’ve developed an in-depth coaching week built entirely around you — your surfing, your goals, and your challenges. This approach allows us to focus on your individual needs, not a one-size-fits-all programme.
COACHING
GREAT COACHES
Our experienced surf coaches are not just great surfers, they are great teachers. That means they are strong communicators, are attentive to the different needs of each guest, and have a deep knowledge of surf technique, conditions and ocean safety.
Our coaching is simple and easy to understand, explaining not just what to do, but why it works.
- 4:1 Ratio coaching
- Over 100 boards to choose from
- Video analysis
- Expert coaches
- Pool coaching sessions
- Personalised approach
- Surf skate sessions
- Technical coaching
COACHING
OUT OF THE SEA
The time invested refining technique back at the lodge directly translates to more productive sessions at the beach — meaning more time riding waves and less time correcting basics. Our saltwater pool is an incredibly effective environment for coaching fundamentals such as duck-diving, turtle rolling, paddling technique, and board agility.
Together with our comprehensive theory lessons back at the lodge and your own personalised handbook you’ll gain the knowledge, muscle memory, and clarity needed to progress faster with greater confidence.
SMALL GROUPS
4:1 RATIO
At Tiny Whale we offer tiny groups which means more focus on you. We guarantee a maximum of 4 students to 1 coach. That allows you to get to know the coach and for them to get to know you, providing a personalised coaching plan that develops consistently throughout the week you are with us.
ANALYSIS
VIDEO COACHING
Our video coaching sessions give you the opportunity to see your surfing from a whole new perspective.
By breaking down your waves frame by frame — both on the beach and back at the lodge — our experienced coaches highlight what’s working, identify areas for improvement, and provide clear, practical adjustments you can apply straight away.
COACHING
SURF SKATE
Surf-skate is a powerful training tool. It significantly improves balance and teaches the fundamentals of turning in surfing.
By reinforcing correct movement patterns and muscle memory on land, surf-skate helps ensure that when you return to the water, your body already understands what to do — allowing you to progress faster and surf more intuitively.
EQUIPMENT
WELCOME TO THE BOARDROOM
We offer a carefully curated selection of soft and hard boards in a range of lengths, widths, and volumes, ensuring every guest finds the right fit. Quality wetsuits are individually sized to keep you warm, comfortable, and confident in the water.
You’ll also find surf skates with protective gear and helmets for our surf skate sessions, alongside a fully equipped yoga space, balance boards, and a selection of gym equipment to enjoy during your downtime.
MOBILITY
SURF INSPIRED YOGA
These sessions combine mobility, controlled strength, balance work, and breathwork to improve how you move and recover.
We focus on opening the shoulders, hips, and spine, supporting paddling endurance, pop-ups, and overall fluidity. Whether you are a seasoned yogi or new to the mat, our tuition is thoughtfully adapted to all levels.
