Why this week is worth it

Many surfers reach this exact point: they love surfing, they have solid skills, but they feel there is more to unlock. That’s where our Advanced Coaching Week comes in — with structure, focus and plenty of time in the water.

We’ll show you methods you can continue to use after the week, so you can make lasting progress and keep improving your surfing in the long run. We work with video analysis, clearly structured surf sessions, theory units, visualisation, mobility — and one main goal: to recognise mistakes, understand them and improve them step by step.

The right conditions for your progress

Our coaching weeks take place in November/December and March for a reason: the line-ups are usually quieter, the swells are reliable and the conditions are ideal for technique training.

In November, the weather can be a little more changeable, but the water is warm and the waves are running. If you prefer hot and dry weather, March is usually the better fit.

Your coach Raphi

I’m Raphi, co-founder of drivethru Surfcamps and an ISA Level 2 certified coach. I’ve been living and working in Sri Lanka for more than ten years and have been training our local surf coaches for many years. During the Advanced Coaching Week, I’ll support you on your way to better waves, better turns and more confidence in the water.

Your coach Jay

Hi, I’m Jay. I’ve been surfing since I was five years old and have spent practically my whole life in the ocean. I used to be part of the Sri Lankan Junior Surf Team and represented Sri Lanka at the Asian Surfing Championships. I’m currently working towards making it onto the men’s team. I’ve been coaching surfing around Sri Lanka for the past four years. I especially enjoy working with people who are truly motivated to improve and learn more about surfing and the ocean.

Who is the Advanced Coaching Week for?

This week is for you if you:

can confidently surf down the line in both directions
have already tried first turns, such as bottom turns, top turns or cutbacks
have experience surfing reef waves
feel comfortable and confident in more competitive line-ups

If you’re motivated to move your surfing forward with more control, better technique and a clearer understanding in the water, this week is a good fit for you.
