Overview

The ISA Level Two Surf Coach award focuses on developmental coaching. It provides the coach with tools and knowledge to take surfers from “learn to surf ” programmes  towards a more advanced level, including a greater understanding of holistic development, competitive and performance surfing. Level Two accreditation opens up greater opportunities to become involved in coaching at a Higher Performance level.

“I really enjoyed the last three days!

The course was super informative and detailed and I thought that it was great how you delivered the course. Especially connecting all of us in breakout rooms kinda broke the ice a little quicker and to get feedback from everyone is huge to improve my personal development.” Kev Level 2 course.
