90-Day Surf Breakthrough

Sound familiar?

You're not too old. You're missing one fix.

Same bottom turn, same cutback, every session for years
You've watched every YouTube tip and you still bog
The new board didn't fix it
You can't see what you're doing wrong, so you can't fix it

How it works

The Post Method

1 · Film

We film your surfing on day one, or you send clips from your break.

2 · Find

Dave finds the one leak holding your surfing back. Usually it's not what you think.

3 · Fix

One cue and one 10-minute land drill a week. Nothing to overthink.

4 · Re-film

Day 90: same wave, side by side. You see the change, and so does everyone else.

free

Straight talk

This isn't for everyone.

It's for you if

You already ride green waves on your own
You've plateaued and it bugs you
You'll film, drill and actually show up
You want surfing to be fun again at 35, 45, 55+

It's not for you if

You're learning to stand up (book a beginner lesson)
You want a magic board or a hack
You won't do 10 minutes of drills
You don't want to see yourself on film

Questions

FAQ

Am I too old to improve?

No. Most adults plateau because nobody has shown them the one thing they're doing wrong, not because of age. The program is built for surfers in their 30s, 40s and 50s.

I don't live in Southern California. Can I still do this?

Yes. The Remote program works anywhere in the world. You film at your break (a friend with a phone is fine), send the clips, and get recorded breakdowns, drills and live calls with Dave.

What level do I need to be?

You should already be catching and riding green waves on your own. This isn't learn-to-surf. It's for surfers who want to get unstuck.

How much time does it take?

Your normal surf sessions plus about 10 minutes of land drills a day. In-person students also book 6 sessions with Dave over the 90 days.

What if I don't improve?

Dave keeps coaching you free until you do, as long as you showed up and did the drills. See the guarantee above.

Stop surfing the same wave.
