Honestly, this was next level. Overdelivered big time — for what the course costs, the material is broken down so professionally, and you see results almost right away. Before training with Sebas... See more

Company details

Written by the company

Onland surf training At The Surfskate Academy we apply a training method that is based on the repetition and automation of all the movements necessary for good progression in your surfing. A session of surfskate training with a surf coach is equivalent to dozens of hours of surfing in the water. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced surfer, surfskate training is ideal for correcting bad habits, perfecting your technique, understanding the biomechanics of your body, increasing your confidence, improving your balance and opening your mind to be able to read the waves in different ways. Surfskate training is ideal to stay in shape and be able to continue practising in those dry periods of waves or when you don't have enough time to be able to leave the city to go surfing

Just brilliant!

It’s such a brilliant experience! Seb is so kind and attentive and friendly. His sessions are jam packed with fun practice, incredible knowledge and just perfect balance of praise and challenge. Sessions are very easy to organise, always delivered on time and above expectations. My teen son is having lots of fun and progressing nicely from ground zero thanks to unbelievable Seb’s patience. His passion for sport got me even considering to try it out myself! Thank you Seb!!

Great session when visiting Edinburgh

Sebastian was great from start to finish. I contacted via Instagram and had limited time in Edinburgh which he accommodated. I recently started surfskating to try and improve my surfing and he fitted loads of drills in that I could take back and practice. If you're in the east of Scotland and want some onland surf training I 100% reccomend doing a session with Sebastian 🤙

The Surf Skate Academy - top 🔝

I found The Surf Skate Academy as I was looking to learn to surfskate as part of my training for surfing. Sebastian is a legend! He is so knowledgable, experienced and passionate about teaching. I’ve progressed a lot in the sessions that I’ve taken, learning and practising good techniques from the beginning and feeling comfortable and increasing my confidence every time I have a lesson. I highly recommend the Surf Skate Academy for those who want to learn how to surfskate, it has been a great experience!!

1-to-1 training session

I had a 1-to-1 training session Dec 2021, it has really helped me improve my Surfskate and has given me lots to work on. Sebastian is able to identify posture and techniques that need altering and it really made a difference. I am very glad I had this session rather than just trial and error and YouTube!

Seb is a dedicated and skilled coach

Seb is a dedicated and skilled coach. His teaching style is suited to complete beginners all the way up to competent surfers who need to tweak their technique!
This is the first time the Edinburgh Uni Surf club (EUWSC) has worked with him, and he provided a top-quality and friendly service! Everyone in the club who has attended the sessions has had loads of fun and has progressed super quickly. We can't wait to keep working with Seb next semester! :))

Couldn't recommend more!

Seb is a great guy and makes the session really enjoyable throughout.

It was my first time on a surfskate and he broke down every movement, giving me freedom to explore and work out how the mechanics worked. He gave me excellent tips to adjust my stance and get the most out of the session. Would recommend!

A Fantastic Introduction...

First session today with Sebastian and it was excellent. As a complete newcomer to surfskating I wanted an introduction that would give me confidence to get my own board and start skating regularly. Sebastian's coaching is first class and I am looking forward to more lessons. Turns out old dogs can learn new tricks... Highly Recommended.

Surf skate lessons in Edinburgh

I had been learning on my own for a couple of months but I learned so much from Sebastian in just one session (so far!). It's been a breakthrough for me where I felt stuck before, and really good to learn proper technique - he was noticing and pointing out even very subtle things that I could change, so I left feeling much more confident that I knew what to do. I am hooked on surf skating - can't wait to learn more!

Had my first surf skate session with Seb this week and I cannot explain how useful it was for my surfing progression. In one session he had us making turns and pumping for speed. Can't wait to get out in the water and put all that I learnt into a wave session
