Aerial Surfing Course

Every surfer who wants to get in the air knows the struggle. You come flying down the line with speed to launch, you hit the lip... and one of a few things happens. The board goes one way and you go the other. Or you don't launch at all, it's like you're glued to the wave and the board just won't leave the water no matter how hard you try. On the odd time you do get up, you can't stay over the board, so you're never in a position to ride it back down. Meanwhile you watch other surfers on social media and YouTube launching big air reverses and making it look so easy, and you think there must be something more to it that you don't know. What you actually want is to hit a section, leave the water with control, stay over your board, and ride away clean, again and again, instead of it being a fluke once every fifty tries.

Getting in the air and landing it isn't about being fearless or throwing yourself at it until something sticks. It's mechanics. Where your feet are when you launch, how you pop off the section, the direction you send it, what your body does in the air to stay over the board, and how you position your body to maximise your pop and projection. Once you understand how your body works with the surfboard and the wave to master these airs, it becomes much easier for you.

This bundle takes the whole air game apart and rebuilds it from the ground up, from the straight air right through to the reverses, so you can launch with control, hold it together in the air, and land on your feet.

Add the Mini Video Analysis and make it click faster

Flick on the Mini Video Analysis switch and the bundle goes from general to personal. The lessons show you how airs actually work. The analysis shows you exactly where your own attempts are faltering. Send me up to three of your best clips and I break them down into 10 minutes of in-depth video, going through the biomechanical movements one by one, what your body is doing through the launch, the rotation and the landing, where it's coming undone, and exactly what to focus on to hop, skip and jump a couple of levels. Every lesson lands on your surfing specifically instead of you guessing which bits apply. This isn't a lite version of anything. It's a direct hit of personal feedback bolted onto the courses to accelerate the whole thing.

Mini Video Analysis switch: +$100. Up to 3 clips, a 10-minute in-depth breakdown video.

No clips? Flick the filmer switch too

If the only thing stopping you is that you've never had anyone to film your attempts, that's sorted. If there's a filmer on the map in your area, flick on the filmer switch we'll line you up to meet them at your local break and get your footage sorted. Having no one to film you is never the thing holding you back. Filmer availability depends on your area and grows as we bring more of them onto the map.

Filmer switch: +$100.

Built for surfers who can already ride a wave with speed and are ready to take it above the lip. Work through it, take it to the water, and start landing the airs you've been watching everyone else ride away from.
