Honestly, this was next level. Overdelivered big time — for what the course costs, the material is broken down so professionally, and you see results almost right away. Before training with Sebas... See more

Company details

  1. Surf School

Written by the company

Onland surf training At The Surfskate Academy we apply a training method that is based on the repetition and automation of all the movements necessary for good progression in your surfing. A session of surfskate training with a surf coach is equivalent to dozens of hours of surfing in the water. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced surfer, surfskate training is ideal for correcting bad habits, perfecting your technique, understanding the biomechanics of your body, increasing your confidence, improving your balance and opening your mind to be able to read the waves in different ways. Surfskate training is ideal to stay in shape and be able to continue practising in those dry periods of waves or when you don't have enough time to be able to leave the city to go surfing

Hugely Recommended!

My daughter (6) and I have both separately been taking surfskate training sessions with Seb at Lost Shore Surf Resort for a number of weeks now.

We’re both loving the sessions and seeing good progress week by week. Seb has a really good, patient coaching style and makes the sessions a lot of fun. My daughter is already looking forward to the next session as soon as she leaves Lost Shore!

I’d hugely recommend Seb and his Surfskate Academy to anyone looking to use surfskating as a way to improve their surfing, or just to have a lot of fun surfskating in itself.

Great for kids to build confidence

I took my daughter and my nephews to a surfskate session, and they all had a great time. We later returned to celebrate my daughter's birthday and invited other cousins and friends to join us for the experience. My little girl was initially a bit apprehensive, but Sebastian did an excellent job of building her confidence. She ended up loving it and can't wait to go back again!

Great First Surfskate Lesson – Fun and Confidence-Boosting!

I had my first Surfskate lesson with Seb and it was fantastic! I started off feeling shaky, but with their clear guidance and patience, I quickly gained confidence, learning to ride and perform basic turns. The session was well-structured, fun, and a great introduction to Surfskating. I’m already looking forward to my next lesson—highly recommend!

Awesome

Seba at The Surfskate Academy has been coaching me for a couple of years now and through his expertise and total enthusiasm and commitment my surfing has progressed so much. His attention to detail and understanding of the mechanics of surfskating and surfing will undoubtedly help you too! 11/10!! Rosie Moore

My kids had a great time (age 8 & 10)

My kids had a great time (age 8 & 10). They found it easy to pick up surf skating and the instructor was very friendly and encouraging. Also great to see this fantastic venue, with a nice cafe/restaurant to enjoy.

10/10 Highly Recommend

Great teacher, great fun! Highly recommend.

I booked in for the adults weekend group class and was a little apprehensive joining the first session worried it would be kids as the age range is 14+ but was stoked to see at each session I've joined there is always a great mix of people and always good fun - can't wait for my next one!!

I'm a complete novice and each week build a little more confidence! Great spot that just begs you to start surfing too, watch this space and love meeting like-minfrd people 😀

Our son absolutely loved his session. He was really anxious about it before going but the instructor was brilliant - put him at ease straight away. I keep getting asked when we’re going back.

Outstanding!

My son Connor had the pleasure of learning with Seb at the Surfskate Academy, and I couldn't recommend him more highly! Seb made sure he felt comfortable and confident. His teaching style is clear, patient, and super engaging. He’s is a great coach with in-depth knowledge of surfskating techniques. Seb’s energy is contagious, and his passion for surfskating really shines through. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to improve your skills, Seb's guidance will definitely take your ride to the next level. Highly recommend!
