Surf Skate Training
Surf skate training is the use of a specifically designed skateboard to train surf mechanics on dry land. With the use of the surf skate trainer, we can eliminate variable such as giant swells, crowded line ups and inconsistent surf while honing in on your skills. One minute of surf skating can be equal to 10 waves! It is the closest thing to surfing outside of the water and is also a great tool to work on and improve your movement, balance and muscle memory in a fun exponential way.
Lorenzo is one of only a few coaches in California who uses surf skating as a training tool to improve his client’s surfing. Smoothstar has sponsored and made Lorenzo their primary coach in San Diego. Lorenzo uses a holistic approach to train his clients both in and out of the water to elevate their surfing.
Many professional surfers train on the Smoothstar surf trainer, like current World Champion Filipe Toledo and Woman’s Pro Johanne Defay.
Surf Lessons and Coaching
Whether you are a first time surfer, or you’re just stuck in a surfing rut , Lorenzo has you covered. Lorenzo provides private or group surf instruction. With decades of personal surf experience and 100s of successful students from first time surfers to up and coming pros, Lorenzo will be sure to help improve your surfing.
Each lesson consists of stretching, reviewing proper paddle and pop up techniques and a surf skate movement flow, all before entering the water. Once in the water, Lorenzo will be by your side helping with reading waves, wave selection, surf etiquette and more. After each wave, Lorenzo will give you feedback in real time to make on-the-spot corrections.
