At Puro Surf, we apply the Surf Sequence, an innovative methodology to democratize surfing. This holistic approach provides a clear roadmap from novice to elite surfer.
Similar to the martial arts belt system, the Surf Sequence divides learning into distinct levels. Each level includes specific content, theory, and techniques that one needs to master before advancing to the next level. This ensures a strong foundation before tackling more advanced skills. This method ensures focused improvement tailored to your abilities.
Whether you’re starting or aiming to elevate your surfing prowess, the Surf Sequence accommodates all levels and ages. It’s designed to empower everyone guided by determination to excel in surfing.
At Puro Surf, our coaches bring years of experience, are certified by Marcelo, and hold ISA credentials. They utilize the Surf Sequence methodology to deliver structured, effective instruction, ensuring your growth and progress at every stage of your surfing journey.
