Paperback: 174 pages
About the Book:
Knowledge is one of the rare treasures that grows when it is shared. The Surfcoach is a treasure chest full of knowledge, practical tips, and real-world experience from the world of surfing. Instead of filling pages with decorative images of perfect waves, this book focuses on the actual challenges surfers face – from their very first attempts all the way to catching green waves.
Its goal is to support high-quality surf instruction and help learners on their journey. This makes it a valuable resource both for surfers setting out to discover the magic beyond breaking waves and for surf instructors guiding them along the way.
For learners, The Surfcoach provides support in preparing for lessons, building on what they’ve learned, or confidently returning to the water after a longer break. All key elements of surf lessons for beginners and intermediates are covered.
For instructors, the methods section offers in-depth tips for lesson planning and practical advice for dealing with common challenges in the field. A central focus is placed on explaining decisions – not just showing how to teach, but also why certain approaches make sense. Alternative methods are also explored, aiming to promote deep understanding and reflection rather than surface-level knowledge.
