For you that have been with us before and want to make that extra (cross) step further, we now have the 'Next Level Coaching Week'. A perfect opportunity to refine your longboard technique, while getting spoiled by our chefs, enjoy the stunning surroundings and relax at our comfy accommodation. We focus on individual progression and goals by using video coaching as our main tool.

6 day Retreat
What you
learn
During our retreat, we film the in-water sessions followed by an in-depth video analysis on the big screen at Casa ‘Ohana. The analyses are complemented by theoretical parts; tailored by what appears of necessity from the videos and everyone’s individual objectives. Examples are working towards a more critical noseride, arm movements or cleaner footwork. The coaching is focussed on individual goals and progression.
Note: This learning path is just to get an idea of our coaching program. Depending on levels and conditions, we will tailor the program to everyone’s individual needs.
01
Setting goals & get to know the spots
01
During the first day we learn from you if you have any goals, challenges in your surfing or any other particular things you want to work on. We also introduce ourselves and give you detailed information about the surf spots around, so you know exactly where and when to go for a freesurf in between. Of course, we also keep you informed during the week and guide you to the best spot that matches the conditions at that moment.

The first session in the water is a relaxed one. We check out your technique and overall behaviour in the water and start making a plan for you to work towards your main goal(s) in smaller steps or objectives.

Video analysis and theory

Before the analyses, we carefully select the videos which contribute the most to your progress. We analyse the selection and discuss in great detail every single movement on the wave in relation to your objective(s). At the end of the analysis we give you 1 or 2 smaller objectives or points of focus to start working on during your next session.

Session & film + direct feedback

During this second surf session you can focus on the objectives you have been given. Like the other sessions, this session is also filmed from land. Depending the conditions, during this session we will film you with a second camera on the beach to give live, direct feedback. This method has turned out not only to be very effective, but also very motivating as you can immediately turn your feedback into practice in the same conditions.

Questions?
Does this trip suit my level of surfing?
This week will suit you if you are at the following level or higher;
-
You have already experienced at least one week with us
-
You know how to read the wave and adapt to it
-
You can change directions and make (light) turns
-
You are already working on making cross steps and/or noserides
If you are not sure whether this week is right for you, do not hesitate to contact us. Very helpful is to send us some footage of your surfing so we can judge if this week will be right for you.
Can I bring my partner and/or kids to the retreat?
Yes, you can! You can bring your partner and/or kids and they can enjoy their stay and meals at Casa ‘Ohana without joining the coaching program. You can add a partner to your booking in the reservation process. If you like to bring your children or more people along, please drop us a message.
Can I book a private room?
When you book a longboard retreat, you will automatically share a room with one or two other roommates with the same sex. A private room is possible for an extra fee of €195. You can choose this option during the booking process or you can drop us a message.
When available, booking an extra night or two is also an option. Please contact us if you wish to extend your stay.
How to get there?
The closest airports are Santander, Bilbao and Asturias, from where you can easily reach the destination by rental car. We recommend using Easyterra to compare and book rental cars.
We facilitate communication among participants through a dedicated WhatsApp group in case you would like to carpool. If you prefer not to rent a car and cannot find a carpool, alternative options such as the ALSA bus or taxi are available. Simply contact us for assistance.
What about transportation during the coaching week?
Transportation is not included during the coaching week, giving you the flexibility to stay longer at the beach after a coaching session.
We facilitate communication through a WhatsApp group in case you like to carpool with fellow participants. If you are unable to rent a car by yourself or find a carpool buddy, please contact us for assistance, ensuring you can join someone from the group.
No worries transporting your (rental) longboard to and from the beach; We have a car kit available including universal soft racks, a wetsuit bucket and car key lock. In case we decide to do a roadtrip to a beach further down the coast, we will take care of the transportation of the boards.
