Who are we

We’re surfers from Belgium, where the waves are cold, the water is dark, and the currents are among the strongest in the world. Surfing here isn’t easy. It’s raw, powerful, and demanding in every way. Through years of surfing these conditions and coaching others, we learned that real progression in surfing requires far more than simply spending time in the water.

That’s why Keith, after surfing all over the world, created Level Up Surf Coaching: to help surfers improve through technical coaching, surf education, video analysis and performance-based training designed specifically for surfing.

He has surfed waves all over the world and competed regionally during his grom years, earning a Benelux U18 championship title. With a degree in physical education, ISA surf coaching certification and several personal training certifications, Keith has coached surfers of different levels throughout more than 10 years of teaching experience.

Filmer Naomi Gelaude

Naomi is Keith's partner in life and business. She runs the back office, organizes the trips, and handles the filming on every coaching trip. While you're out surfing with Keith, Naomi is on the shoreline capturing every wave. Her high-quality clips make our technical video analysis possible. We go through your footage in slow motion, breaking down every detail of your surfing, and you'll leave with plenty of great shots for your socials.
