SURFING LEVELS.
WHAT LEVEL SURFER AM I?
intermediate SURFERS
At Justin West Coaching, I work with each surfer as an individual, not as part of a fixed category. Still, this stage gives you a sense of where my coaching may apply to your surfing.
As an intermediate surfer, you’re moving beyond the whitewater, catching unbroken waves, and starting to navigate the open face with flow. You can paddle out effectively, read waves, and angle your takeoffs. You’re consistently riding waves with horizontal turns, beginning cutbacks, and introducing maneuvers. Importantly, you are safe in the water — capable in head-high surf, able to control your surfboard without bailing, and confident with basic lineup etiquette. No in-water assistance is required at this level.
Fast-track your progression. With tailored learning objectives, real-time feedback, and expert video analysis, every session is built around your goals and current level.
Sessions include:
Clear, personalised surf strategies
Motivation & technique correction
Dryland drills to build muscle memory
Surfboard Advice
Use of top-level video equipment
Small, focused groups (max 4 surfers)
Film via WhatsApp or WeTransfer for high res.
Screen grabs & form diagrams (via WhatsApp)

ADVANCED SURFERS.
An advanced surfer has already built a solid foundation and is focused on refining technique, flow, and performance. At this stage, you’re confident in all conditions, generating your own speed, and aiming to master vertical surfing and advanced maneuvers.
Skills include linking cutbacks with flow, performing snaps and re-entries, and rail driving to effectively to maintain and build speed. You’re no longer just riding waves — you’re eyeing sections to smash.
Coaching at this level is designed to identify and correct bad habits, prepare you for surf trips, and fast-track your progression so you can consistently perform at your peak for maximum surfing enjoyment.
JWC offers high-performance surf coaching with video analysis for advanced surfers to refine technique, sharpen line up skills and surf enjoyment.
ELITE SURFERS
Elite surfers are those pushing performance to the very highest level, whether as professionals on the contest circuit or free surfers seeking to redefine what’s possible on a wave.
At this stage you are already performing with speed, power, and flow, and looking to combine multiple high-risk maneuvers with precision and consistency.
Coaching here focuses on surf psychology, peak surf fitness, and contest support, from heat strategies to wave selection. Together, we break down your surfing at the finest detail to correct weaknesses, sharpen strengths, and design strategies that elevate your performance under pressure.
JWC offers high-performance surf coaching with video analysis for elite level surfers to refine technique, sharpen competition strategy and produce film for content designed for professional athletes.
