Besides creating this website and all it’s content, Martin Dunn is also a presenter of elite coaching programs and surf training courses. He does this as part of his own business, but also represents Surfing Australia both domestically in Oz and overseas.
In September, he conducted a Level 2 Surf Coaching course in Victoria attended by 10 coaches from Victoria and Tasmania. The Level 2 course is a two day course that covers topics ranging from surfing fitness, risk management, to surfing technique. Coaches go away from the course with more confidence and skills to help surfers correct faulty skills and generally assist them to become better surfers. Following on from the course, Surfing Victoria has invited Martin back to coach the Victorian Junior team before the Australian Titles in December. This is not only to work with the junior surfers, but coaches from the Level 2 course will be invited to assist with the on-the-beach sessions, using the skills learned during the course.
Another development has been the outputting of these courses globally. The Surfing Australian courses are being picked up by the International Surfing Association, and will be branded with the ISA logo. The first two of these courses will be conducted by Martin in Galicia in Spain, and Tenerife in the Canary Islands in mid October. Martin will travel to Spain and conduct a Level 2 Surf Coaching course in Galicia, followed by a two day surf training camp for junior Spanish surfers. This will be followed by the same program being conducted in the Canary Islands. More countries are looking at using the proven Surfing Australia courses to help upskill their coaches, and in term improve the overall standard of their surfing communities.
Anyone wanting to know more about these surf training courses or elite training, please contact Martin through this website.
Dear Martin
I’m a Level 2 Coach by CBS Brasil Federation wich is based in the Surfing Australia surfing program. But a course conducted by yourself with your new topics update, its another diferent thing that i would not miss.
Im just not shure if that Spain Course will be in 2010 or it took place in 2009?
There will be another in Europe?
