100% ONLINE PROGRAM
Is Your Body Holding Back Your Surfing?
Much like any sport, surfing has a long list of physical requirements and demands that most surfers approach with minimal preparation:
Paddle Fatigue
If you're tired of feeling exhausted before your session even begins—gassed out on the paddle, missing waves, and cutting sessions short while others keep charging.
Slow Pop-Ups
When your body can't execute the explosive movement needed for quick pop-ups, you miss critical sections of the wave and limit your performance potential.
Nagging Injuries
Sore back, shoulder pain, and other niggling injuries keep you out of the water or force you to surf at less than your full capability.
Inconsistent Performance
Some days you surf great, other days your body feels stiff and unresponsive—with no rhyme or reason to the pattern, limiting your progression.

What Our Clients Say
Here's what other surfers have experienced through our 1-1 coaching:
Adam Lewis
Windsurfer & Surfer
“Training with Rob & Sam has transformed the way I surf and move.
Stronger.
More powerful.
More confident in the water.”
Barnaby Cox
Junior Surfer
"Training with SPS was unreal — data-driven, results-focused, and always supported.
Their attention to detail is next level. You know you're in the best hands."
Lucy Campbell
Surfer
"Rob and Sam are masters of their craft.
From day one, they identified my weak points and designed sessions that built strength exactly where I needed it. Every session was fun, challenging and always had purpose — I couldn’t wait to get in the gym.
They adapted everything to fit around injuries and travel, and their attention to detail is next level. They’re absolute sticklers for technique, which has made a huge difference in both progress and injury prevention.
Highly recommend these lads — you’re in the best hands."
Nick Healey
Surf Boat Rower & All-Round Waterman
"As someone who’s spent decades in the ocean, I know what it takes to perform — and the SPS training took things to another level. My cardio, strength, and endurance skyrocketed.
Whether it’s a big surf paddle or digging deep in a surf boat race, I feel sharper, stronger, and more prepared than ever.
For an older athlete, I’m
in the best condition of my life."

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the online coaching work?
Our 1-1 coaching is delivered 100% online. After your initial consultation, we'll create your custom program and deliver it through our app. You'll have access to video demonstrations, tracking tools, and direct communication with your coach through WhatsApp. Your program will be updated every 4 weeks based on your progress and feedback.
How much time will I need to commit each week?
For maximum results, you'll need up to 4 hours per week. If the surf is good, you can get away with 2 hours. If you're busy, you can maintain a baseline with about 2-3 hours per week. We'll work with you to find the optimal schedule that fits your lifestyle while still delivering results.
Do I need gym access for this programme?
While we highly recommend gym access for optimal results, we can provide home-based variations for all exercises. For the home-based option, you'll need some basic equipment: space, a TRX cable, some resistance bands, and a handful of dumbbells or kettlebells. The more equipment you have, the better, but this is the bare minimum required.
Is this programme suitable for beginners?
Absolutely! The programme is suitable for any level of surfer and any level of gym competency. We have programmes ready and waiting for all levels. Everything is customised based on your initial assessment and questionnaire responses.
What if I have an existing injury?
We can work around chronic and acute injuries and provide modifications as needed. However, this programme is not suitable for those with spinal or brain injuries, or if your healthcare provider has recommended you are not fit for training. Please consult with a healthcare professional before starting if you have serious concerns.
How does the payment work?
You have two payment options: either 3 monthly payments of £299 or a single payment of £750 (saving £147). We also offer equivalent pricing in USD and AUD. Payment details will be provided after your consultation if you decide to proceed with the programme.
How is this different from your other programs?
Our 1-1 coaching is our most personalised offering. Unlike our group programs, you'll receive completely individualised programming based on your specific needs, goals, and assessment results. You'll also have direct access to coaches through WhatsApp for questions, form checks, and support throughout your journey.
