Video Analysis
Coming Soon - Online Courses
Ever wonder what you actually look like on a board?
Most of us have a feeling for what we're doing, but feeling and reality are often two very different things. A fresh pair of expert eyes can spot things in seconds that you'd never catch yourself.
Our online video analysis run via @sebsurf_skatecoach means that you can benefit from our expert coaching, no matter where you are in the world.
Here's how it works: you film yourself, send over the surf or surfskate footage, and Seb sends back a detailed video breakdown with personalised coaching, clear guidance, and practical tips to take into your next session.
No jargon, no fluff, just honest, friendly feedback that actually moves you forward.
Whether you're brand new to surf or surfskating, working through a plateau, or a surfer using land training to get sharper in the water, this is for you.
I'm Seb, founder of The SurfSkate Academy. I've spent years coaching surfskaters and surfers across the Americas, UK, Europe and beyond, and I built my own training method around one goal: getting you real, visible progress, fast.
Now, I’ve launched my very own, personalised online services including video analysis and 121 coaching.
Ready to see what's possible? Let's take a look.
Your questions about online coaching and video analysis are answered here
-
Not at all. A smartphone propped up against a bag, a cone, or a wall is completely fine. Ground-level footage tends to be the most useful, but don't overthink it ,real session footage is always better than nothing.
-
Anywhere between 10-15 secs works well. If you have a longer session, pick the clips where you feel something isn't quite clicking, those are usually the most useful to analyse.
-
You'll have your personalised coaching video back within 72 hours of submitting your footage, Monday to Friday.
-
Perfect. Beginners often make the fastest progress from video analysis because the fundamentals are easy to spot and quick to fix. You don't need any surfskate experience, just turn up as you are.
-
Absolutely! That's one of the biggest reasons people come to The SurfSkate Academy. Surfskate training on land directly translates to better movement and technique in the water. You can train year-round, wherever you are.
-
You'll receive a video via an app with voiceover coaching and visual annotations so you can see exactly what I'm seeing. You can rewatch it as many times as you like or use it to track your progress over time. The app is compeletely free for you to use.
-
Yes. Online coaching works anywhere in the world. As long as you can film yourself and upload a video, we're good to go. Please specify if you would like your feedback in English or Spanish.
-
After your first analysis, many clients choose to book a follow-up session or move onto an online coaching package so we can track progress together over time. There's no pressure, but the option is always there.
-
This isn't just video analysis with a comment dropped on your clip. It's a proper coaching relationship. Seb gets to know how you move, what you're trying to do, and builds the sessions around that.
-
Seb will reach out and add you to his coaching app. He'll ask you to send a couple of videos first so he can see where you're at before you speak directly.
-
Absolutely! Our caoching app is an excellent tool and seeing your visual progress and applying Seb’s tips, will get you the best progress
-
These follow your progress, and not a fixed script. If you choose the package, Seb introduces new drills, reviews your technique, and adapts as you go. (He'll flag if anything needs to change based on where you're at.)
