Online Surf Coaching: Improve Your Surfing From Anywhere in the World
Professional Video Analysis Surf Coaching with Justin West
Not everyone can travel to Portugal for an in-person coaching session, but every surfer can benefit from expert feedback. That's why Online Video Analysis has become one of the most effective ways for surfers around the world to accelerate their progress, identify technical weaknesses, and develop more efficient surfing techniques.
Whether you're an intermediate surfer looking to break through a plateau, an advanced surfer chasing greater consistency, or a competitive athlete seeking performance gains, professional video analysis provides objective feedback that is often impossible to recognise on your own.
At Justin West Coaching, surfers from around the world submit video footage of their surfing and receive detailed technical analysis, personalised coaching feedback, action points, screen grabs, and visual diagrams designed to improve performance in the shortest possible time.
What Is Online Video Analysis Surf Coaching?
Online Video Analysis is a remote surf coaching service where you send video clips of your surfing for professional review.
Simply send up to five video clips via WhatsApp or WeTransfer from anywhere in the world. The footage can be filmed by a friend, family member, coach, drone operator, or beach photographer. The quality doesn't need to be perfect—clear footage of your surfing is all that's required.
Justin will carefully analyse your surfing and provide:
Detailed technical feedback
Individual wave-by-wave analysis
Screen grabs highlighting key moments
Visual diagrams and annotations
Clear action points to work on immediately
Personalised recommendations based on your current level and goals
The focus is always on practical improvements that can be applied in your very next surf session.
What Do You Need To Do?
The process is simple:
Collect up to five video clips of your surfing.
Send them via WhatsApp or WeTransfer.
Include a brief description of your surfing level and current goals.
Receive your personalised analysis and coaching feedback.
Surfers from anywhere in the world can use this service. Whether you're surfing beach breaks in the UK, point breaks in Australia, reefs in Indonesia, or waves here in Portugal, the coaching principles remain the same.
Benefits of Online Video Analysis
Objective Feedback
Most surfers have an inaccurate perception of what they're actually doing on a wave. Video reveals the reality and highlights the fastest route to improvement.
Faster Progression
By identifying the key technical issues limiting your surfing, you can focus your energy on the areas that will produce the greatest results.
Improved Technique
Better positioning, improved rail engagement, stronger bottom turns, more effective top turns, and greater flow all begin with understanding your current movement patterns.
Personalised Coaching
No generic tutorials. Every analysis is tailored specifically to your surfing, your strengths, your weaknesses, and your goals.
Learn At Your Own Pace
Review your feedback whenever you like and revisit the analysis before every surf session.
