    Super cool week behind with Level Up! In addition to the tips while surfing, there was video analysis, stretching and additional surfing tips every night. The analysis made it very clear what you need to work on and how to help yourself and others improve their surfing. When it was necessary Keith went into the water with us to coach us there and help those for whom it was necessary. Keith is a 'super bien' coach!!! Hopefully until another trip!

    I recently took part in Keith's Level Up Surf Coaching trip and it's a game-changer! It's absolutely worth the investment. The week was intense yet incredibly valuable. Keith prepares every part of the week, dedicating his full energy and attention to helping each individual achieve their goals. Both the in-water and out-of-water sessions are incredibly informative. I found the approach to be exceptionally valuable, with many actionable takeaways, and I definitely plan on continuing to work with Level Up Surf Coaching.

Frequently asked questions

  • A Level Up surf coaching trip is a surf trip in a small group with the goal of improving your surfing. You surf every day with professional coaching, get filmed on every session and learn exactly what to work on through technical video analysis. I’m in the water with you the whole trip, and you finish with a personal video analysis and a plan for what to keep working on.

  • The trips are designed for intermediate surfers who want to take their surfing to the next level. Occasionally I also organize trips for high intermediate and advanced surfers. Each trip page states which level it’s for, so you know you’ll surf with people at a similar level.

  • The trips are built for intermediate surfers, so they’re not the best fit for complete beginners. If you’re not sure about your level, send me a message or a video of your surfing and I’ll tell you whether the trip suits you. To build your foundation first, take a look at The Surf Technique Blueprint, which teaches you every technique from your first pop-up onwards.

  • A typical day starts with a warm-up and mobility session, followed by a surf session with coaching in the water and a filmer capturing your waves. Depending on conditions we do 2 surf sessions per day. After surfing, we do recovery stretching and breathing to help you recover faster. In the evening, we analyze everyone’s video clips individualy, so you know exactly what to work on the next day.

  • I’m in the water with you for most surf sessions to help with positioning and give instant feedback, so you can apply it on the next wave. A filmer films every surfer’s waves, so your feedback is based on what actually happens in the water and not just on how it feels. The groups are small, so every surfer gets personal attention.

  • Every evening, we go through the clips of the day for each surfer and do a technical analysis of your technique. You see what you’re doing well, what to change and how to fix it, so you know exactly what to focus on in the next session. This is the same kind of analysis I offer online as the surf video analysis.

  • Trips are small groups of 6-8 surfers at most. Only during our boat trips we take a maximum of 10 surfers. That keeps the coaching personal, makes sure everyone gets enough feedback and keeps the group at a similar level.

  • The price includes daily surf coaching, in-water feedback, a filmer, daily surf video analysis, warm-up, mobility and recovery sessions, access to the Level Up surf training program before the trip and a final online surf video analysis after the trip. Accommodation and meals are also included in the surf trip.

  • We organize trips to different locations all over the world, chosen for good waves and conditions for improving your surfing. Each trip page includes the destination, the dates and what the conditions are like. Check the surf trips page to see all upcoming destinations.

  • Before every trip, you get an invite to The Level Up Surf Training Program, so you can prepare physically and arrive fit enough to surf every day. The program has video workouts you can do at home, wherever you are.

  • Yes. I run morning warm-up and mobility sessions to get your body ready to surf, and recovery stretching and breathing sessions to help you recover faster between sessions. That means you can keep surfing day after day with less stiffness and fatigue.

  • These trips are for surfers who want to improve. There are no parties, only surfing as much as we can, with professional coaching. If you want to surf, learn and see real progress, these are the trips for you.

  • After the trip, you get a final online surf video analysis through the same platform as my online surf video analysis. It includes a recap of the trip and shows what to keep working on, so you continue to improve at home. After the trip you can chat with me through the platform with follow-up questions.

  • You book by sending me a message or filling in the booking form on the trip page. You pay a deposit to reserve your spot, and the rest before the trip.

  • Yes. Many surfers join on their own, and the small group makes it easy to get to know everyone. We have private room options and shared room options depending on your preference.
