A programme isn't a lesson.
It's a scheduled block.

A Session is a one-off — book any week, surf for a couple of hours, done. A Programme is different: a structured, multi-day coaching block with daily video and a written plan, run as a small-group cohort only a few scheduled times a year. UK-based, with select dates abroad.

Scheduled

A few cohorts a year — not always-on. Secure your spot with a deposit.

Multi-day

2–5 days of progression that compounds, not a single session.

Small group

Up to 6 Surfers per coach (1:6), with take-home plan progression plans and more

Foundation
BEGINNER INTERMEDIATE

Beginner Intermediate

Small Adult Group coaching — how it works

Coached together.
Progress together.

Small Group is a different format to private tuition. You're coached in the water alongside up to five other surfers — a maximum 1:6 ratio that keeps the coaching personal. Adults £40pp; youth groups run on weekends.

A shared pre-surf brief sets the focus, then your coach works the whole group from the water — rotating individual, real-time feedback while keeping everyone moving, engaged and surfing. No standing on the beach waiting your turn.

You learn from your own waves and everyone else's, finishing with a group video review. It's social, high-energy and genuinely engaging — progression with a crew, not on your own.

  • Coached in the water — maximum 6 surfers per coach (1:6)
  • A shared session brief, then rotating 1:1 feedback throughout
  • 90-minute focused, high-energy in-water session
  • Group video review to finish — learn from every wave, yours and theirs
  • RSJ members only · intermediate and above
  • New & beginner surfers should book a private session first

All single sessions are available mainly at our Cornwall bases, but not limited to. Contact us to check availability.
