Elite Winter Training Programme 2016
Life as an U16 elite surfer in during the 2015/2016 wintertime is full of challenges, begging for lifts to the beach, school, homework, never being able to eat enough, girlfriends, boyfriends, never-ending cold and rain. In response to this we held our second annual ‘Elite Winter Programme’.
What? Winter Surf Course
When? 4 Full Days (8am – 4pm, 3 surfs per day)
Which Days? The four days will be selected based on the best surfing days over the Christmas period.
Pre Course Preparation – Prior to the first days coaching we will run a 2-3 hour coaching session in the shop, which will include goal setting, performance analysis, video coaching, equipment assessment etc.
Day 0 – Pre Course Preparation.
Day 1 – Day one will focus on FH & BH bottom turns.
Day 2 – Day two will focus on FH & BH floaters, cutbacks, carves and top turns.
Day 3 – Day three will focus on barrel riding, we will ensure that we choose a day / location that offers barrel opportunities.
Day 4 – Aerials and progressive surfing.
