ADVANCED SURF COACHING MOROCCO POWERED BY RIP CURL

For Intermediate to Advanced Surfers Ready to Break Through
Hit a performance plateau? Struggling to progress beyond your current level? Our advanced training programs in Morocco are designed for surfers who want personalized, hands-on coaching that delivers real results. This isn't about surviving bigger waves it's about dominating them with confidence, speed, and style. 
Surfing is a sport where you can plateau certain skills simply can't be learned through experience alone. That's where expert coaching makes the difference.
Our training weeks aren't grueling boot camps filled with endless drills. Instead, we take a practical, personalised approach: we identify your strengths and weaknesses, then create a targeted plan to amplify what you do well and transform your weaknesses into strengths.
This is coaching that works whether you're stuck on a specific maneuver, struggling with wave selection, or ready to take your surfing to the next level. Everyone, at every level, benefits from the right guidance.

What to Expect From Advanced Surf Coaching

Refining your surf technique starts with understanding what you’re doing right and where you can improve.

  • You’ll receive individual coaching in a small group environment (3–6 people).
  • We’ll use video analysis to break down your surfing technique, wave selection, positioning, and movement.
  • Your coach will help identify performance plateaus and provide targeted feedback to deliver quick, measurable results.
  • Whether you're refining existing skills or learning new drills, this process will fast-track your progress.

Surfing at an advanced level requires strong ocean awareness and a broader understanding of competitive and lifestyle factors.

You’ll develop:

  • Waterman skills - confidence and control in the ocean environment. 
  • Understanding of rip currents and surf-specific weather patterns. Awareness of surfing drills, diet, and mental preparation for performance.
  • Competitive strategies - how to read the lineup, dominate heats, and manage energy.
  • Sponsorship insights - learn how to position yourself and pursue sponsorship opportunities. 
  • Trial heats - participate in simulated heats to sharpen your competitive edge.

GOAL SETTING DRILL

Drill: We will first ask you to surf a twenty minute heat and try to achieve the goals decided upon. Your coach with look at the biomechanics of your surfing & set achievable goals for your ability & the conditions on the day.

BOTTOM TURN DRILLS

Drill: We will send you out into the surf for 20 minutes. Ask them to perform the best quality bottom turns they can do on the waves they catch. Score the bottom turns:

3 points for an excellent bottom turn (good lean, hand touching the wave face, flexed body)

2 points for an average bottom turn (good lean, straight body)

1 point or a poor bottom turn (poor lean, straight body)

RE-ENTRY DRILL 

Drill: We will send you out into the surf for 20 minutes. Ask them to perform the best quality re-entries they can do on the waves they catch. Score the re-entries:

3 points for an excellent re-entry (surfboard is vertical as it impacts the lip) 2 points for an average re-entry (surfboard has an angle pointing down the line as it impacts the lip)

1 point for a poor re-entry (surfboard doesn’t impact with the lip with little power and verticalness. This type of re-entry is characterised by the surfer getting momentarily “caught” as they come off the top of the wave )

CUTBACK DRILLS

Drill: We will send you out into the surf for 20 minutes. Ask them to perform the best quality cutbacks they can do on the waves they catch. Score the cutbacks:

3 points for an excellent cutback (surfboard rebounds vertically off the foam rebound)

2 points for an average cutback (surfboard impacts with the foam but not with any height)

1 point for a poor cutback (surfboard “taps the foam” or doesn’t impact with the foam at all)

LAYBACK DRILL 

Drill: We will send you out into the surf for 20 minutes. Score each wave normally out of 10 points. Award 3 bonus points for every successfully completed “layback” snap. These additional bonus points are to encourage the surfers to attempt the target manoeuvre.

The technique for performing the “layback” snap is” Perform a quality bottom turn Lean backwards before reaching the top of the wave, touch the wave face with the trailing hand, and continue to look down the line. The momentum from the preceding bottom turn will re-centre the surfer over the surfboard

AERIAL DRILL

Drill: We will send you the surfers out into the surf for 20 minutes. Score each wave normally out of 10 points. Award 3 bonus points for every successfully completed aerial. These additional bonus points are to encourage the surfers to attempt the target manoeuvre.

Perform a quality bottom turn off the bottom of the wave

Just before hitting the lip or foam, forcefully lift your arms above your

head to create a “lift” force

When in the air, try to keep your chest close to your knees. Grab the rail if

you find it necessary

Land in a low stance to handle the impact forces on landing

Testimonials

"Dean helped me break through a 5-year plateau"

"I've been surfing for 12 years and thought I'd peaked stuck doing the same turns, same approach, same frustrations. One week with Dean in Morocco completely changed my surfing. He identified issues with my bottom turn setup that I'd never even considered, and within three sessions I was generating twice the speed down the line. His ability to break down complex maneuvers into actionable steps is unreal. We worked Banana Point and Anchor Point, and by day five I was linking turns I'd only dreamed about. Dean doesn't just coach he transforms your understanding of wave riding. Worth every penny."
Marcus R., Australia | 12 years surfing experience

"From intermediate stuck to advanced confident"

"I came to Morocco frustrated. I could surf decent waves but couldn't progress beyond safe, predictable surfing. Dean's coaching was a game-changer. He filmed every session, broke down my positioning frame-by-frame, and gave me specific drills that actually worked. His feedback on my rail engagement and weight distribution unlocked maneuvers I'd been attempting for years. What impressed me most was Dean's ability to read the conditions and push me at exactly the right moments never too much, never too little. Three weeks later, I'm surfing overhead point breaks with confidence I never had before. Best investment in my surfing career."
Sophie L., France | Intermediate to advanced progression

"Competition-level coaching that delivers results"

"As a competitive surfer looking to qualify for regional events, I needed coaching that understood heat strategy and performance under pressure. Dean delivered beyond expectations. We worked on wave selection, priority positioning, and maximising scoring potential in Morocco's point breaks. His 25+ years of experience shows he knows exactly what judges look for and how to execute under pressure. My critical turn precision improved dramatically, and my confidence in bigger surf went through the roof. Two months after training with Dean, I placed second in my first regional qualifier. If you're serious about progression or competition, Dean's advanced coaching is the real deal."
Jake M., UK | Competitive surfer
