This service is designed for intermediate to advanced surfers who want to improve performance surfing with a strong focus on barrel riding (takeoff timing, positioning, line choice, speed control, stall, and exits).

Not necessarily. If you’re an intermediate surfer starting to commit to heavier waves, this coaching will help you build:

• safer positioning

• better decision making

• cleaner technique under pressure
  so you can improve faster and progress with confidence.

• You surf and get filmed

• You send your daily clips (Google Drive / WhatsApp)

• I analyze your rides and give you corrections

• You receive a clear “next session mission plan”

• You apply it the next day and improve during the same trip

After you purchase, you’ll receive instructions and an upload system.
Most clients use:
Google Drive (best quality)
WhatsApp (fast and easy)

Remote Trip Coaching includes up to 10–15 clips per day.

This keeps the feedback focused and high quality, and makes sure you receive coaching consistently every day.

You’ll receive 1 coaching delivery per day within 24 hours after your clips are submitted.

(For example: send your clips in the evening → coaching arrives later that night or the next morning.)

Yes. Same-day priority coaching may be available as an add-on depending on my schedule.
Message me on WhatsApp to confirm availability.

Barrels are the main focus, but your breakdown may also include:

• takeoff mechanics

• bottom turn technique

• speed generation

• rail engagement

• positioning and wave choice

• confidence and decision making in critical sections

Everything is adapted to your goals and the waves you’re surfing.

Any stable video is enough, even phone footage.

Best results:
✅ filmed from beach or boat
✅ landscape (horizontal)
✅ close enough to see your line + body position
✅ 60fps / slow-motion if possible

No problem — I can still coach using most footage as long as I can see:

• your takeoff

• your line choice

• your body position

• the timing of entry/stall/exits

If the clips are too far or shaky, I’ll guide you on how to film better.

That’s still useful. I’ll analyze:

• your positioning and wave selection

• your approach to critical sections

• what’s stopping you from committing

• what adjustments will increase your barrel opportunities

A lot of barrel progression happens before the barrel: lineup decisions and timing.

After payment you’ll complete a short Coaching Intake Form.
Once submitted, I’ll contact you on WhatsApp with:
✅ confirmation of your coaching start date
✅ your upload folder link
✅ daily submission schedule

You choose your trip dates.
Availability can be limited during busy swell periods, so booking early is recommended.

Yes — remote trip coaching is designed to run consecutively to maximize progress and consistency during your trip.

If you have a special situation (travel day / lay day), message me and we can plan around it.

Yes. If you want to add extra days, you can extend your coaching during the trip (subject to availability).

If there is a no-surf day, you can still send:

• previous session clips you didn’t review yet, or

• a short check-in for strategy, wave choice, equipment, and planning.

If conditions are totally flat and you can’t surf at all, message me and we’ll find the best solution.

Coaching is delivered in English and Portuguese through:

• written notes

• voice notes

• video breakdowns
  and coaching calls (Zoom/WhatsApp).

You send 5–10 clips, and you receive:
✅ video analysis breakdown
✅ coaching call (Zoom/WhatsApp)
✅ personalized improvement plan and drills

This option is perfect if you want a clear plan before a trip, or fast feedback on your current surfing.

Online checkout supports:
✅ credit/debit card (Stripe)
✅ PayPal (if enabled on the website)

Full payment is required to confirm your booking.

Due to the time-based nature of coaching:

• no refunds once coaching begins

• if you need to reschedule your start date, contact me as early as possible

For single-session calls, rescheduling requires 24 hours notice.
