Level I - Online Course
Surfing Basics
Speed & Flow
Learn how to pump and generate speed naturally, without forcing or overthinking
Build Real Speed & Flow
Many surfers struggle not because they lack strength,
but because they don’t fully understand how speed works.
Start With The Right Foundations
Start With The Right Foundations
Instead of rushing into manoeuvres, we focus on building the base properly.
- Improve their flow and style
- Generate speed without forcing it
- Feel stable and in control
- Stop losing momentum
Why Foundation Matters
Before manoeuvres come speed.
Before speed comes control.
Just like you need to walk before you can run,
you need to feel comfortable generating speed before attempting radical turns.
That feeling of flying down the line
it starts here.

How Level I Is Built
Level I is organised into 7 modules and 27 step-by-step video lessons.
You’ll focus on the foundations of surfing, stance, balance, rotation and speed generation, first understanding the movement, then practising it on land and on your surfskate.
The goal is to build solid foundations and reliable muscle memory before progressing to manoeuvres.
Each lesson builds on the previous one, so your progress feels clear, controlled and intentional.

Posted on Jin LTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m truly grateful to Mako for his kind and precise advice. His guidance instantly helped me fix the issue of being dragged by inertia after a snap, and I finally learned how to pivot smoothly! That moment of success was pure joy — I couldn’t stop smiling. After six months of surfskating, I’ve often referred to Mako’s professional videos to fine-tune my skills. Getting the chance to learn directly from him this time was such an inspiring and unforgettable experience. 🙏🔥Posted on Nastassia HaikevichTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Hi I'm Juan, a surfer and surfskate coach who helps surfing feel more natural and less forced.
I didn’t learn surfing easily at the beginning. Most of my progress came from making mistakes and slowly understanding how it actually works.
Over time, I learned that surfing improves more when you train simple patterns, build muscle memory, and stop overthinking every move.
Surfskate became a clear way to do that. It lets you train the feeling of surfing on land, so when you’re back in the water, your body reacts naturally.
