Description
From the moment I first stood up on a wave, my life has revolved around surfing. My passion for coaching has grown out of the knowledge and skills I’ve gained both as a competitive surfer and as the caddy for one of the world’s best surfers. Now, my mission is to help all surfers fulfill their potential – combining the art of crafting a surfer’s personal style with the science behind mastering the perfect technique.” – Matt Scorringe.
These El Salvador surf camps with TAOS are designed for the every day surfer, and are in incredible chance to take the next step to improve your surfing. Come join us with Matt, Bamba, Manuel and Adrian on October 24-29 (Camp 1, this listing) or for the second week of camp October 31 – November 5. Each surf camp includes 5 nights of accommodations at Balancé and 4 days of professional surf coaching with Matt.
Why Join this Event?
Has your surfing plateaued? Don’t worry – you’re not alone. It’s a common problem for surfers that have been surfing recreationally for some time. Surfers often develop bad habits they’re not aware of, so they simply make the same mistake over and over again. This camp focuses on finding basic, realistic improvements we can make with your surfing that will help you get to the next level, be a more confident surfer, and start improving. Each of our coaches brings a unique skillset to the group along with years of coaching and competitive surfing experience.
Who Can Go?
This camp is for everyday intermediate surfers who can, at minimum, paddle out and catch waves independently. The surfer should be cutting across the face of the wave most of the time and looking to try or improve basic maneuvers.
This is NOT a high-performance camp, but we use professional coaching methods for everyday surfers to improve and progress towards a higher, stronger, confident level of surfing.
We cap the attendance at 8 surfers to ensure that we aren’t too crowded both in our own group and at any lineup we surf. This maximizes your time and attention with each of our coaches as well.
