MINDSET


FEARLESS; BREATH ENHANCEMENT COURSE 

LEARN the skills, knowledge and techniques to stay calm, confident and safe in challenging situations in the water.

OVERVIEW:

FEARLESS COURSE

PRACTICAL SKILLS AND MINDSET

DURATION: ONE DAY

GENDER: FEMALE

ABOUT THE WEEKEND  

The ocean is a dangerous place, with avoidable accidents happening every year all over the country. 

To the inexperienced the ocean is a treacherous place, something fraught with danger around every corner. 

Something to be feared, something to be avoided. 

However to the experienced water-person the ocean is a playground, something to be respected of course, but not to be feared - to be enjoyed.

This course is built to take people that aren't confident in the ocean, that may have had a bad experience in the past, or maybe aren't confident swimmers, and guide them through our four week program of empowerment, building skills, building confidence, and setting you free for a lifelong love affair with the ocean.


HIGHLIGHTS

The program is split up into three components:

THE WHY

We need to understand what's holding you back in the first place, to find out what's going on internally.

Maybe it's a past trauma, maybe an inability to swim.

Whatever it is, once we know that, we have a roadmap to follow to improve.

THE HOW

Armed with the knowledge of how our body and mind work against us in the ocean, we can now begin the retraining process to work through them. 

Through a simple step by step process you'll learn new skills to push through these barriers, and begin making strides towards increasing your breath hold time.

LETS GET PRACTICAL

Each week you'll be put through practical tests and real life simulations, putting your new skills into practice.


BONUS: YOU'LL ALSO GET...

As a student attending this program you'll also get one years free access to the following online courses:

COURSE

We follow our unique curriculum which has been designed specifically for people that want to get into surfing, and their unique experiences in the water. 

Through a mix of theory and practical activities we help to remove the barriers that may be preventing you from overcoming any barriers in the ocean.  

As a group you'll learn what's happening on a physiological level to your body, you'll also learn how your mental state triggers these responses, something that holds many people back. 

Over the duration of the program you'll learn all the skills and techniques to:

  • Learn how to stay calm in scary situations.
  • Increase your breath hold capabilities. 
  • Understand the autonomic bodily responses that happen without you knowing. 
  • Reduce your anxiety levels in the surf. 
  • Be underwater for longer - without stressing out. 
  • Understand how rips work, how to spot them, what to do if you're stuck in them.
  • And much more.

REVIEWS

Holly Cook

I recently completed the Boost Progressor Weekend in Raglan and could not recommend it more. It was focussed, well-structured, personally-tailored surf coaching within a warm and supportive environment. I gained confidence and noticeably improved over the course of the weekend. I’m seriously considering repeating the course to lock-in all the learning. Thank you, Giacomo and Rowan.


Cristina Figursky

Had a great weekend learning from Rowan & Giacomo, a very structured approach with heaps of information, theory and then lots of practice in the water. Loved the video breakdowns and the individualised approach.


Stephanie Moran

I recently had an epic weekend with House of Surf. The whole weekend was really well-structured, with a great balance of theory, practice, and video reviews to help improve my surfing.

The instructors were both amazing and fun - they made me feel comfortable and more confident in the water than ever before. Their passion for surfing was infectious! They broke down techniques in a way that was easy to understand, and the video reviews were super helpful to see where I could improve.

I was nervous to go on my own, but the vibe was so good and all the girls were super friendly. I'd definitely recommend to anyone book again for myself!


Hayley Edwards

Great team all super friendly and have lots of knowledge - would highly recommend!


Lauren Fenton

I did the level 2 weekend course and absolutely loved it, instructors were fantastic, extremely knowledgable and understanding. So much feedback and massive confidence booster for me. Would highly recommend, and if unsure, phone Loz, she's great to talk to and so passionate.


Claire Norriss

I attended a weekend progressor course recently and have to say it blew my expecations out of the water. Rowan , Loz & Vendela are an amazing team and deliver the goods in the perfect way - some theory, lots of time in the water, and a whole heaps of laughs. It was such a great weekend with such a great bunch of girls. Highly recommend it- you learn skills to really boost your surfing progression.


Victoria Baldie

Great teaches , great vibe, amazing waves. Having a bit of traumatic past in the water I have traditionally had a very healthy respect for the sea.I must say that I never once felt afraid. Day two things really clicked into gear and despite sore shoulders was able to catch many more waves than usual. Instructors are patient, approachable and knowledgeable. You will improve on this course


Shahn Forrester

The Boost Progressor course was the best experience I’ve had in surfing so far. Loz and Rowan were fantastic. I just wish I’d done this course 10 years ago, you won’t regret it!!!
