The 8-Week
Intermediate
Programme.

You know how to surf. You've been surfing for years. But something isn't clicking — you've hit the plateau that stops most intermediate surfers for the rest of their lives.

This is the structured, coached solution to that problem. 8 weeks, run as a small capped cohort. Personal video analysis, weekly group breakdowns, dryland training, and a community moving with you — and a documented progression you can see and feel.

How It Runs

Small Cohorts. Fixed Intakes.

01

Join the Waitlist

Spots are capped so coaching stays personal. The waitlist is how you hear first — and lock in the early-bird price.

02

Launch Opens

When an intake opens we email you. For the first 72 hours, the founding early-bird price is live for waitlist members.

03

Cohort Starts

Your 8 weeks begin with your cohort. You move through the curriculum together — same start, same finish, shared momentum.

The Intermediate Plateau Is Real.

Most surfers get to a level where they can ride waves comfortably — and then stop progressing for years. Sometimes forever. It's the most common problem in surfing, and it's almost never about effort.

It's about having the wrong technical habits reinforced by thousands of repetitions, no structured feedback, and no clear progression pathway. You're practising your mistakes.

This programme is built specifically to break that pattern. Not with more sessions — with the right system.

"You're not stuck because you're not talented. You're stuck because you've never had structured coaching."

— Reubin P., RSJ Head Coach

Who This Is For

  • You've been surfing 1–5 years consistently
  • You can ride waves but feel stuck at the same level
  • You want structured coaching without a surf trip
  • You're willing to put in work between sessions
  • You want documented, measurable progression

The Curriculum

8 Modules. 8 Breakthroughs.

Week 1

01

Assessment & Foundations

Full video analysis of your current surfing. Identify the 3 key faults holding you back. Establish your personal progression baseline.

Week 2

02

Pop-Up & Body Positioning

Rebuild your pop-up mechanics from the ground up. Correct body positioning from foot placement to arm position. Dryland drills you can do anywhere.

Week 3

03

Wave Reading & Positioning

Learn to read wave energy before you paddle. Where to sit in the lineup. When to paddle and when to hold back.

Week 4

04

Bottom Turn Mechanics

The bottom turn unlocks everything. We break it down to its fundamental mechanics and rebuild it correctly. Rail-to-rail weight transfer.

Week 5

05

Cutback & Linking Turns

Connecting your turns into fluid, controlled surfing. The mechanics of the cutback. How to generate speed through turns rather than losing it.

Week 6

06

Power & Acceleration

How to generate and maintain speed across different wave sections. Compression and release mechanics. Reading sections ahead.

Week 7

07

Advanced Manoeuvres

Introduction to floater, snap, and re-entry. Building the foundation for progressive surfing without rushing past the fundamentals.

Week 8

08

Final Review & Next Steps

Full video analysis comparing Week 1 to Week 8. Measure your documented progression. Build your personal roadmap for the next phase of improvement.

What's Included

Personal Video Analysis

Two 1:1 video breakdowns with detailed written feedback from Reubin — a Week 1 baseline and a Week 8 comparison — so your progress is documented start to finish.

Weekly Group Breakdowns

Submit a clip each week. Reubin reviews a rotating selection live on the cohort call — you learn from your own surfing and everyone else's.

Dryland Training Plans

Week-by-week dryland fitness and flexibility programmes designed specifically for surf performance.

Cohort Community

A private group for your intake — ask questions, share wins, and stay accountable with the surfers starting alongside you.

Live Q&A Calls

Live group coaching calls across the 8 weeks with Reubin — bring your questions, get them answered.

Lifetime Access to Materials

Every module, call recording, and dryland plan is yours to keep forever. (Coaching runs during your 8-week cohort.)

From Programme Graduates

"I'd been stuck at the same level for 3 years. Week 4 of this programme and I was landing turns I'd never done before. The video feedback alone is worth 10x the price."

Anonymous

"The dryland training plans changed how I approach surfing off the water. I'm fitter, more flexible, and surfing better than I ever thought I would at 34."

Anonymous

Cornwall, UK

"Reubin's video feedback is brutally honest and exactly what I needed. No one had ever pointed out my weight was too far back. Fixed it in 2 sessions."

Common Questions

Do I need to be surfing regularly to do this?

You should be surfing at least once a week to get the most from the programme. The dryland training and technique modules apply even if you're only surfing occasionally, but regular water time accelerates results significantly.

How does the video analysis work?

Two ways. First, you get two personal 1:1 video breakdowns from Reubin — a Week 1 baseline and a Week 8 comparison — each with detailed written, timestamped feedback. Second, every week in between you can submit a clip, and Reubin reviews a rotating selection live on the cohort call, so you learn from your own surfing and everyone else's.

When does the next cohort start?

The programme runs in capped cohorts with fixed start dates rather than rolling sign-ups — that's what keeps the coaching personal and the group moving together. Join the waitlist and we'll email you the moment the next intake opens, with 72 hours at the early-bird price.

I'm already an RSJ member — do I need this?

No. If you're a Remote, Performance or Elite member, structured video analysis and coaching are already part of your membership. This programme is designed for surfers who want a finite, intensive 8-week sprint rather than an ongoing membership — and graduates can roll straight into membership at a member rate afterwards.

What does "lifetime access" include?

Every module, call recording, and dryland training plan is yours to keep forever. The coaching itself — your personal video analyses, the weekly group breakdowns and live calls — runs during your 8-week cohort. Ongoing coaching after that is what membership is for.

Is there a refund policy?

Yes. If after completing Week 1 you don't feel the programme is right for you, we'll refund you in full. No questions asked.

What level is this programme for?

Intermediate surfers who can ride waves consistently but feel stuck. You should be comfortable in the water and paddling for your own waves — this programme is not suitable for complete beginners.
