What you
learn

Our coaching weeks are suitable for every level longboarder; from beginners to advanced. Whether you just started and need to work on your timing and take off or you already make solid turns and some cross steps, this coaching week will guide you towards a better technique and understanding of longboarding in general.

01

Setting goals & get to know the spots

01

During the first day we learn from you if you have any goals, challenges in your surfing or any other particular things you want to work on during the week. We also introduce ourselves and will give you detailed information about the surf spots around, so you know exactly where and when to go for a freesurf in between. Of course, we also keep you informed during the week and guide you to the best spot that matches the conditions at that moment.

02

Session in the water

02

Depending on conditions and timing, we either start with a session in the water or start with theory about basics, see next chapter. During this relaxed surf session, we let you get familiar with a new spot and maybe a new board. We are mainly checking your surfing and behavior in the line-up in general to have a clearer picture of the objectives we need to work on.

03

Get to know the basics

03

In this first workshop we go through the foundation or basics in longboarding. To beginners or intermediates, this part is a very important one. If the basics are not solid, it is very difficult to build from there. But also for more advanced longboarders this is a very interesting workshop, as we dive deeply into subjects like timing, reading waves better, applying certain tactics in the line-up and paddle techniques.

The second surf session in the water has a certain objective which will be defined before the lesson. The kind of objective depends on conditions at that moment and refers to the theory you’ve had before. This can be for example apply a better paddling technique.

Video analysis

Before the analyses, we carefully select the videos which contribute the most to your progress. This means that the videos that we selected are not always your best ones, but are the ones where you can learn from the most. Don’t worry, we put every single video of you on USB. We analyse the videos and focus on the objective, but of course we will also discuss other details we see. From all the feedback we give, we will pick 2-3 points to work on for the next days.

Questions?

Does this kind of longboard coaching suit my level of surfing?

This trip is suitable for every level longboarder. Whether you are just starting or already cross step going back and forth. If you've been with us before, you might consider joining us for a next-level week.

I have never surfed before, is this surf coaching for me?

We require at least a basic experience in surfing. You must be confident in the water on your own and being able to catch waves on your own. It does not matter if this is still in the whitewater.

Can I bring my partner and/or kids to the retreat?

Yes, you can! You can bring your partner and/or kids and they can enjoy their stay and meals at Casa ‘Ohana without joining the coaching program. You can add a partner to your booking in the reservation process. If you like to bring your children or more people along, please drop us a message.

Can I book a private room?

When you book a longboard retreat, you will automatically share a room with one or two other roommates with the same sex. A private room is possible for an extra fee of €180. You can choose this option during the booking process or you can drop us a message.

When available, booking an extra night or two is also an option. Please contact us if you wish to extend your stay.

How to get there?

The closest airports are Santander, Bilbao and Asturias, from where you can easily reach the destination by rental car. We recommend using Easyterra to compare and book rental cars.

We facilitate communication among participants through a dedicated WhatsApp group in case you would like to carpool. If you prefer not to rent a car and cannot find a carpool, alternative options such as the ALSA bus or taxi are available. Simply contact us for assistance.

What about transportation during the coaching week?

Transportation is not included during the coaching week, giving you the flexibility to stay longer at the beach after a coaching session.

We facilitate communication through a WhatsApp group in case you like to carpool with fellow participants. If you are unable to rent a car by yourself or find a carpool buddy, please contact us for assistance, ensuring you can join someone from the group.

No worries transporting your (rental) longboard to and from the beach; We have a car kit available including universal soft racks, a wetsuit bucket and car key lock. In case we decide to do a roadtrip to a beach further down the coast, we will take care of the transportation of the boards.
