Intensive Training Camps 2010
Surfcoach.com is the virtual face of Martin Dunn’s surf coaching programs and training products. Martin, with over 25 years of experience coaching motivated surfers conducts live-in surf camps throughout the year. The main aim of these camps is to improve the participating surfer’s technique and wave usage skills, with competition training included if required.
The camps are conducted at Old Bar, on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, Australia. Surfers attending, train in a group situation [ maximum 6 participants ], but focus on the individual skills that need improvement. Surfers are videoed daily, having their performances assessed, and undertake surf drills to improve their current performance level.
