We’ve teamed up with former England Surf Team head coach Dave Renaud to offer a series of small-group coaching retreats across some of the world’s best surf destinations. Combining elite in-water coaching, daily video analysis and focus on making you a better surfer.
With over 20+ years of coaching experience, Dave knows how to get your surfing to the next level.
Dave’s coaching is built entirely around your progression. He keeps groups small — never more than eight surfers — spending real time in the water with you every session, analysing your surfing daily, and giving you the kind of specific, direct feedback that genuinely moves the needle.
Same winning formula across every destination. Small groups. World-class waves. Coaching that works.
Dave splits the morning session between filming clips and actually being in the water with you. Real-time feedback in the lineup
See exactly what’s happening in the water — what’s working, what to fix, what to focus on in the next session.
Unstructured water time to put the coaching into practice. No pressure — just surfing with a specific focus.
Small groups mean real conversations and plenty of reminiscing about another awesome day in the waves.
Dave Renaud has spent over two decades coaching surfers at the highest levels of the sport, including a stint as head coach of the English Surfing Team. He’s coached across Sri Lanka, South Africa, the Maldives and Mozambique — and his approach is tried and tested wherever he goes.
He watches how you actually surf. He identifies what’s genuinely holding you back. And he fixes it.
Not group tips from the beach. Not generic advice between sets. Real coaching, in the water, tailored to the surfer in front of him — with the video evidence to back it up.
Dave has also developed Surfing Tai Chi — a specific movement and body awareness programme that complements the in-water coaching and accelerates progression beyond what water time alone delivers.
