Advanced level

Surf coaching Cotillo

Advanced surfing is the level at which the surfer seeks to fully optimise the manoeuvre at the most critical and powerful points of the wave. We will deal with concepts such as:

- optimising the pumping in the section
- reading and anticipation of a critical and perfect manoeuvre such as a cut back round house, the re-entry, off the lip, floter...
- reading technique, anticipation and positioning inside the tube to complete the manoeuvre and come out victorious.
