PRIVATE ONE-TO-ONE SURF COACHING
with coach Ivo
Nine years ago I started coaching in the Netherlands, followed by Morocco, and continued in the United Kingdom. Surfing a lot, getting to know many new line-ups during my travels, I was fortunate to gain experience in Sri Lanka, Spain, and Portugal. In 2021 more learning followed during ISA Level 2 certification in the UK. In 2023 I was guiding surfers in Morocco. Next to being a coach, I am also a RNLI lifeguard.
My aim is to continually evolve as a surfer. Here lies my edge as a coach as well. I have the beginner mindset, and have adopted an analytical coaching style that is task focussed, meanwhile keeping it fun and personal! I developed my own development plan to track training and progress, which I make and customise for every surfer I coach.
Adding principles from yoga like restorative stretching, and breathing techniques, I like to facilitate a positive mindset towards any goal a surfer may have.
WHAT TO EXPECT
ONE-TO-ONE
At the best spot for the day for you, we go in together, and you get direct feedback while you're paddling/positioning and surfing.
PERSONAL
DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Together we write down what you like to improve on, set a time line, and mark dates in the calendar for checking your progress;
You get to take your plan home, where you will be able to update it, to later discuss it with me to stay on top of your next progression.
