The Intermediate Surfer's Struggle
You've got the basics down, but something's holding you back
Stuck at a Plateau
You can catch waves and ride them, but your progression has slowed down. You're not sure what's holding you back.
No Visual Feedback
Without seeing yourself surf, you can't identify the subtle technique issues affecting your performance.
Coaching is Expensive
Private coaching sessions cost $100+ per hour, and you can't afford to get feedback on every session.

Questions from Intermediate Surfers
What counts as an "intermediate" surfer?
You can consistently catch unbroken waves, ride down the line, and perform basic turns. You're working on maneuvers like cutbacks, floaters, or more powerful bottom turns.
How is AI coaching different from YouTube tutorials?
Tutorials show you what to do. AI coaching shows you what you're doing wrong. It's personalized feedback on your actual surfing, not generic advice.
Can AI really help with subtle technique issues?
Yes! Our AI is trained to identify common intermediate-level mistakes like early arm drop, insufficient compression, and poor weight distribution. These subtle issues often hold surfers back.
Should I still work with a human coach?
Absolutely! Surf Buddy Coach is designed to complement human coaching, not replace it. Use it for regular feedback between expensive coaching sessions.
What video quality do I need?
Standard smartphone footage (720p or higher) from a slightly side angle works great. The clearer the video, the more detailed feedback you'll receive.
