OVERVIEW:

LONGBOARD COURSE

DIFFICULTY LEVEL:  4/10

DURATION: TWO DAYS

ABOUT THE WEEKEND

A two day surfing course for women Longboarders looking to make BIG improvements.

Longboarding isn't about just standing still, going straight, cruising and looking hot (ok, the looking hot part we can keep, but the rest we can do WAY better).

It's about cross-stepping, walking the board, trimming high, trimming low.

An elegant dance with the wave with style, grace and flow throughout. 

Now that's what we're talking about.

This is proper Longboarding, and this is what you'll learn on this weekend with the course with us. 


HIGHLIGHTS

  • 4 In depth theory breakdown sessions.  
  • 4 In-Water surf sessions. 
  • 4 Video analysis sessions.
  • Weekend video footage to take home with you.
  • Online course material with lifetime access.

SKILL LEVEL

This course is for you if:

  • You have your own Longboard.
  • You're able to catch green waves unassisted.
  • Have got the basics of paddling & popping up dialled.
  • Want to learn how to cross-step, trim & noseride.

COURSE

Our unique House of Surf Longboarding curriculum has been designed for advanced beginner/intermediate longboarders that want to learn the hyper specific techniques unique to the sport.

Over the weekend you'll learn all the vital skills and techniques to:

REVIEWS

Kylie Robinson

Thanks again for a great weekend everyone. I especially enjoyed all the support as a collective group, and whilst totally confronting I found watching and analysing the video’s attached Loz’s theory of everyone’s sessions was so useful. The sessions provided a lot to think about and aim for. My most favourite by far was meeting all you lovely folk and of course the dolphin breaching out of the water on Sat arvo. Thanks to Loz and all the group.


Jim Bregman

Loz was a great instructor and the weekend course was really helpful as well as good fun.  They had keen insight into what improvements were needed and offered excellent tips to assist me become a better surfer.  The photo sessions were a big help, too.  If you want to level up your surfing then I recommend you take the course.


Rebecca Coldicutt

Hands down the best weekend surfing I've had ever. Loz is an incredibly talented coach, and the combo of land and water based instruction saw me progress more in two days than I have in years. I really can't recommend them highly enough.

Just completed a Longboarding course with House of Surf over the weekend and it honestly exceeded all my expectations. Loz spent both days with us teaching us in great detail all the foundations of longboarding. With their care, great balance of theory and practice in the water, and their catered adjustments and advice, we all made very visible progress within just 48 hours. I would recommend their services for anyone with different skill levels and goals for surfing. I can't wait to be back in Tauranga to visit again.


Zoe Mcintosh

I can highly recommend the 2 day longboard boost course through House of Surf!!
I had the b set weekend and even got my cross stepping down - wtf?!  Loz (hope I’m spelling correctly) was an incredible instructor and run courses in Auckland and the Mt. Your surfing will absolutely improve and you’ll also meet a bunch of amazing people.


Louise Corrie

Had a beautiful weekend away in the Mount with the House of Surf on the longboarder foundations course.
I’ve done 2 of their weekend courses now and they’re jam packed full of info dedicated to getting more women in the water… well worth a get away to the mount if you want to up-skill… Couldn’t recommend these legends more.
