Teach the method, not just the tricks.

The certification is the Concrete Surfers Training Method as a coaching system: how to assess a rider, identify what is blocking them, choose the right drill, and build a progression that transfers to water.

Most people who end up coaching with us did not start out planning to. They came as a client, or ran a shop, or had a crew who kept asking them questions they could not answer properly. There are three ways in, and they are not a ladder — pick the one that matches where you are.

01 Get certified

Eight hours, eight people maximum, open to all genders. You leave able to assess a rider and build a progression, not with a list of tricks. Sixteen coaches certified in Europe so far.

What it covers
02 Host a workshop

You have a space, a shop, a club or a crew. We bring the coaching, the boards and the programme; you bring the room and the people. Nothing to build in advance.

How it works
03 Bring us to your city

No venue and no group, just a place you think it would work. Put your city in the form. Certifications run where enough people ask from the same place, so your message is what starts one.

Name your city

Certified coaches are listed by us, get the drill library and the assessment sheets, and are the first people we send enquiries to when someone asks for coaching in their area.

01For coaches

Two ways in.

The only programme of its kind in Europe. You learn the CSTM as a coaching system, how to assess a rider, identify what's blocking them, choose the right drill, and build a progression that transfers to the water.

It's for surf coaches who want a land tool that actually transfers, skate and surfskate instructors who want a way to assess rather than a bag of tricks, and fitness trainers and community leaders building surfskate into what they already run. Eight hours, eight people maximum, open to all genders.

Currently a waitlist. Applications open when the next date is confirmed, and waitlist members get first access.

We travel to run hands-on surfskate workshops, with surf clubs, skateparks, shops, communities and groups of friends who just want to organise something good. We bring the coaches, the method and the structure.

Just want one near you

No venue, no group, no plan. That's fine. Put your city down — if enough people ask from the same place, that's where we go next.

Certification and workshops.

Tell us where you are and what you do now. Certifications run when there are enough people in a city, so your message is what starts one.

One wave, from paddling to kick-out, uncut. Don't trim it to the good part and don't send a whole session — what happens before and after the manoeuvre is usually where the answer is.

Clips are too big to upload through a web form, so paste a link: Google Drive, WeTransfer, Dropbox, an unlisted YouTube video or an Instagram post all work.

Where and when, beach or water, and what you were going for. One line is enough.
