HOW IT WORKS
STEP 1. BOOK YOUR COACH
Select your coach: Make a selection from one of our expert in-house coaches.
STEP 2. SEND IN VIDEO FOOTAGE
It doesn't have to be fancy so don't worry. We just need some rough footage of you surfing.
STEP 4. OUR COACHES GET TO WORK
Once we have the footage, our expert coaches will dissect the footage to find out what's holding you back, where you can improve, and create a crystal clear vision for you to move to the next level.
STEP 5. LET THE PROGRESS BEGIN...
We'll send the video analysis footage of you - side by side with a pro - with detailed, guided instructions. Each manoeuvre is broken down so you know exactly what you should be working on next time you hit the water.
STEP 6. THE FEEDBACK LOOP
Each week/month we'll revisit footage of your surfing to see where you've improved, and what you need to work on next. Bad habits will be identified and dealt with quickly, and your surfing will be pushed to new levels in record time.
WHAT YOU'LL GET
PERSONALISED EXPERT COACHING
You'll be coached by an elite professional with years worth of coaching experience.
BESPOKE VIDEO ANALYSIS
Your video footage will be broken down in detail, side-by-side with a pro, so that you can see exactly what you're doing right (and more importantly what you're doing wrong).
TRAIL OF PROGRESS
As you move through the coaching process you'll have video evidence of the progress you've made.
ACCESS ANYTIME, ANYWHERE
All of the coaching you receive is 100% digital and accessible from any device, anywhere in the world.
THE STAGNATION TRAP...
When was the last time you really felt like you improved? Like really improved?
You know, I'm talking about the last time you learned a new trick, or really felt your surfing step up to a whole new level?
It's funny isn't it, the one thing that makes surfing so fun and alluring (and so damn addictive) is actually getting better. Yet, how often do you really feel like you've improved?
It's sad I know but once you can get to your feet and trim it's no longer exciting. You want more...
You always want more, and that's fine, but since those early days when your progression milestones were getting smashed week on week, things have now started to taper off.
Your progression has ground to a halt, and you're now officially in the Stagnation Trap!
Reversing the trend
So, if you're one of the many surfers that find themselves in the Stagnation Trap, what should you do?
You kind of have three options.
OPTION 1. PRIVATE IN-PERSON SURF LESSONS
Hiring a private surf coach is a great idea. You'll get one on one personal tuition, they'll be able find the blind spots that are holding your surfing back, and give you actionable advice to help you moving forward.
But, it's not always that straight forward...
Let me explain.
First up, private coaching is damn expensive - often costing upwards of $200 per session. That's fine if you're made of money, but for the rest of us, that's just not really affordable.
Secondly, it's actually pretty hard to find a pro-level private surf coach. Just think about it for a minute, in the world there's like 500 guys and about 100 girls that really have the credentials to call themselves pro-level.
So, if you don't live in a town with access to someone of that calibre, then you're more than likely going to have to settle for less.
And thirdly, with private coaching, what happens at the beach stays at the beach. All those nuggets of wisdom are perfect in the moment, yet there's no way to bottle that information and store it for another time.
Much of it is lost in the moment, leaving no reference of the teachings to take away with you other than memory.
OPTION 2. SURF CAMP
Surf camps are a great way to meet like-minded people, make friends, hang out & party!
But they're not very good places to improve your surfing.
Usually, the coaches are travelling backpackers with little to no experience, and the tuition you'll receive will be catered to the mass market and not bespoke to you.
Go to a surf camp to party and have fun - but, don't go if you're serious about learning to surf better.
OPTION 3. YOUTUBE TUTORIALS
YouTube has probably the biggest library of surf based tuition anywhere in the world. Simply type in your problem, and up comes a list of videos teaching you how to rectify it.
But, here's the thing.
These videos are made for the mass market, NOT for you personally.
You see, we all have these unique little traits and bad habits that we're totally unaware of. These are called blind-spots.
And, whilst learning from a YouTube video is great, they oftentimes fail to get to the root cause of the problem.
For that you'll need an expert.
Oops! I kind of lied. There is one other option...
What if there was a way to get expert coaching even if you lived in a land-locked city, or in a town with no pro-level coaches.
A way to get bespoke one-on-one coaching with an elite coach, in a format you can take with your wherever you go, and reference time and time again?
I'm not talking about a one off thing that costs you a bomb, nah, I'm talking about an ongoing, affordable coaching service that gives you personalised expert coaching, taking you from where you are right now, to the surfer you know you can be...
Why Coach In a Box kick's ass over every other form of Surf Coaching.
INSANE VALUE FOR MONEY
Surf Video Analysis Vs In-Water Private Coaching
Think about the last time you paid for private coaching. Think of how many waves you actually caught.
At best probably 6, and that's on a good day?
That's like $25 per wave!
Now think about whether or not you can remember half of the tips you were told. Probably not right?
With the use of Surf Video Analysis you are able to review and check the mistakes you need to work on before heading out for each surf. Taking this fresh knowledge each time you enter the water, significantly increases your ability to change and transform your bad habits.
You are able to maximize your bang for your buck. With each analysis you will be a able to film well over 6 waves. This enables us to make the corrections based upon your entire performance, rather than just a snippet in the water.

FRAME BY FRAME
Surf Video Analysis Vs The Naked Eye
Every split second there are so many weight adjustments, balance changes, feet shifts, weight distribution, rail lines, fin engagements, ect.
Each of these points are so nuanced - and they are happening at such a rapid rate - that they're really difficult to pick up on in real time.
But, with video coaching you can zoom in frame by frame for incredibly accurate analysis which would pick up these subtle mistakes that the naked eye just can't pick.

THE IMITATION GAME
Surf Video Analysis Vs Verbal Learning
Don't get me wrong a professional surf coach is epic. But there are certain areas that they physically can't mirror like surf video analysis.
Most people are visual learners. And trying to teach a person though verbal communication isn't enough for them to understand what's required of them to progress forward.
When you see yourself alongside a pro and you are able to witness the exact movements and rations you need to be doing this can really help you grasp what's required.

BUT IT GET'S BETTER...
This type of coaching isn't only cheaper, but it's also what all coaches and athletes continually use to measure and correct technique across all sports disciplines.
Why? Because it works.
And, it's the only proven method to properly developing and accelerating your performance.
WORDS FROM OUR STUDENTS
Ruth Susman
Surfing 5 years
The best service I've encountered anywhere.
I've been on handful of surf trips. From surf camps to surf retreats and this is by far the most I've seen my surfing improve. This service is seriously in depth and if you put the work in, you will get the results.
Rachel Mariano
Surfing 15 years
This exceeded my expectations.
I thought I'd get a few pointers here and there. I was not expecting such in depth split screen analysis for EVERY video. This service was well constructed and you can see Lauren is passionate about what she does.
Kate Wild
Surfing 1.5 years
Finally! A surf service that actually makes you surf better.
There is nothing more I enjoy than surfing. But when you're not seeing any progression it starts to get a little frustrating.
Working alongside Lauren as my personal surf coach was epic. We worked on every area of my surfing and the results speak for themselves.

FAQ
If you don't have any footage of yourself surfing just yet, that's cool, here are a couple recommendations:
- Rotate filming with friends: Take a camera to the beach and rotate filming sessions with friends.
- Family: Give your parents, siblings a nudge and get them to shoot some footage of you surfing.
And remember, the footage doesn't have to be pro level, just good enough for us to dissect.
Smartphone footage is usually adequate.
The coaching you receive will teach you exactly what you need to be working on, and why.
