Are you a beginner or intermediate surfer?
Beginner Surf Course
Perfect for surfers who are:
- new to the sport and are learning the basics
- transitioning to ‘green waves’ or ‘cutting across’
- working on their take off or ‘pop up’
- working on speed generation
- struggling with in-water confidence and wave reading
- looking to progress to intermediate with their surfing ability
Intermediate Surf Course
Perfect for surfers who are:
- consistently catch green waves and developing their speed generation
- learning to perform basic manoeuvres such as bottom turns and top turns
- consistently lose speed or fall off after performing turns
- looking to link multiple turns together on a wave and improve their style
- might have decent flow and manoeuvrability on a wave but have plateaued with their abilities for a long time

“What has really struck me is how approaching this from a structured point of view has given me so much more motivation and focus in my surf sessions. It hasn’t taken away the joy at all, it’s only enhanced my experience in the water. I feel I’ve progressed a tonne these past few weeks and for that I’m so grateful… actually, I’m bloody stoked (and my friends are jealous ha!) ”
– Darren
“Honestly this was the best preparation for an in-person retreat that I could have done. Ryan was so generous and precise with his feedback I felt like I had him with me for this past month. I definitely feel like I’ve progressed and I know what to focus on going off on my own (for now!). Thank you! ”

It’s about meeting the surfer where they are at.
I’ve been working on these progression programs for years now. This approach, with a strong time factor, creates a really nice ‘focus window’ for our participants to hone in on their surfing skills.
I’ve seen the benefits of this on retreat. I normally have one week of a surfer’s full attention to their progression. And the results are incredible. I figured, why not do this for 6 weeks?
Enter: the TSR 6-week Progression Course.
We build a program around the surfer as an individual and we lay the groundwork for them to progress rapidly during those 6 weeks. It’s a layered approach involving personalised feedback and a lot of guided self-reflection too. Surfers can then also leave with the ability to start coaching themselves, ensuring their continued progress afterwards.
I’m really proud of this program and what we’ve been able to achieve with it!

FAQs – TSR 6-Week Guided Surf Courses
Do I need to start on a specific date?
Yes. These are cohort-based programs with a fixed start date. All participants move through the weekly content together. This helps keep you accountable and aligned with the coaching flow.
How much time should I dedicate each week?
You’ll want to set aside 1–2 hours per week to review the video modules and attend live Q&As. Plus, of course, time in the water to apply your focus points. The more time you invest in practice, the more you’ll benefit.
I’m not sure if I’m Beginner or Intermediate. How can I tell?
If you're learning to catch unbroken waves, still refining your pop-up, or building confidence in the water—you’re likely a Beginner. If you're consistently catching green waves, working on turns or linking maneuvers, you're probably Intermediate. Still unsure? Reach out and we’ll help guide you. It is not a huge issue for us to switch you into the other category within 7 days of beginning the program.
Can I join from anywhere in the world?
Absolutely. The course is 100% online and surfers join from all over the globe. All live calls are recorded in case time zones don’t align, and you can participate in the group chat anytime.
What happens after the 6 weeks? Do I lose access?
You'll retain access to the program up until our next guided progression program starts. You will be able to save the downloadable content such as your workbook, so you can continue to progress afterwards!
Can I upgrade from Viewer Only to Active later?
Unfortunately not. Due to the limited number of video reviews our coaches can take on each round, Active spots are capped and must be secured at the time of enrolment.
Do I need professional-quality footage for video analysis?
No. The footage must simply be comprehensive - can you clearly see your body on each wave? 'Surfcam rewinds' will not suffice, but a friend filming from the beach on their iPhone might!
Are there payment plans available?
Not at this time. To keep the program simple and affordable, we offer one-time payment options only.
