you know how to surf… so why does progressing feel so hard?
You can read waves. You can catch them. You know how to surf.
But you know there’s more to your surfing journey…
More speed. Better turns. More confidence in steep waves. More flow. More style. More freedom to move around the wave and actually surf the way you see yourself surfing.
And suddenly the things that used to feel natural start feeling complicated. You get in your head. You hesitate. You don't know what to change — or how to get from where your surfing is now to where you want it to go.
Maybe it's transitioning to a shorter board. Maybe it's a new maneuver. Maybe it's bigger waves, better lines, or finally committing to the surfing you've been dreaming of.
You're not starting over. You're expanding what you know how to do.
You don't need another Instagram tutorial telling you what you should be doing.
You need someone who can watch your surfing, understand what's actually happening, and help you figure out what's next.
THE SEA STATE METHOD
After coaching 40+ women, I’ve learned that progression isn’t just about technique. It’s about the whole picture — so we work on the things that actually move your surfing forward:
TECHNIQUE
What are you actually doing on the wave?
We'll work on things like positioning, wave selection, speed, timing, turns, rail work, lines, and style. Because one technique tip could change the course of your surf journey for life.
MINDSET
What's happening in your head when you surf?
We'll work on confidence, hesitation, fear, frustration, self-trust and getting out of your own way. Beyond your mind we’ll talk about what’s happening in your body too.
VISION
Where do you actually want your surfing to go?
Maybe it's a new board. Bigger waves. Better turns. More flow. More travel. Or simply feeling more like yourself in the water. (Plus we’ll have surfboard demos so you can feel into that future version of you - boards are portals!)
SUPPORT
Because it really is that deep, this is a safe space to express ourselves and talk about our experiences as women in surfing from a place of empowerment because we support each other.
Make friends for life and experience one of the greatest things about surfing - having a crew that backs you.
What's included in group coaching
IN-PERSON COACHING SESSION
2.5+ hours in North County San Diego, with a maximum of six women. Enough time for individual coaching while still getting the energy and perspective of a small crew.PRE-SURF WORKSHOP
We'll talk through the conditions, your goals, and what to pay attention to in the water before we paddle out.IN-WATER COACHING
Real-time feedback on your positioning, wave selection, speed, timing, turns, lines, and whatever else is showing up in your surfing that day.POST-SURF REVIEW
We'll talk through what you felt, what we saw, and what to take with you into your next surf.FILMING
Filming is included. We'll capture waves throughout the session and send you the footage afterward to keep. Because we're coaching a group, individual wave coverage will vary — but you'll have footage to watch back and learn from. Yours to keep forever.SURFBOARD GUIDANCE + DEMO BOARDS
Rocker, rails, fins, volume, and how all of it changes the way a board moves. We'll help you understand what you're riding and why. Demo boards are available at each session.YOUR CREW
Women who paddle out when it's good. Who want to surf bigger waves. Who want to push their turns, find more flow, and understand why finally surfing on rail is a BIG FUCKING DEAL.
because being a woman in a
male-dominate sport
is fucking HARD
Surfing is not a performance review. It's an art.
But that's not how most of us have been surfing.
Surfing is territorial. It's male-dominated. It's gatekeep-y. And practicing surfing as an adult — in front of people, on a board you don't know how to ride yet — can make you hyper-aware of every little thing you're doing. I started shortboarding 5 years ago so trust me I get it!
You start watching yourself surf instead of actually surfing… we wait until we're good enough to try the maneuver. We stay on the board we already know we can surf, and we call it a preference. Perfectionism starts masquerading as progress.
You don't have to earn your place in the lineup by becoming good enough. You already belong because you love the ocean.
And if you're at the level where you're positioning yourself and catching your own waves, you're an intermediate surfer. Don't let some random guy in the lineup convince you otherwise. <3
In Sea State, surfing gets to be a devotion instead of a performance.
When you stop trying to prove yourself, you finally get to practice. And practice is how you learn. (repeat that back to yourself!)
Maybe what makes it even harder is not having women around you who surf the way you want to surf.
Maybe you're watching the surfing you want to do from the beach — imagining bigger waves, better turns, more speed, more freedom — without a crew to go do it with.
If that's you, I'm really glad we found each other :)
This is for you if
You already know how to surf, but you want to progress.
You want to understand why your surfing isn't doing what you want it to do.
You feel confident on a longer board but get stuck when you step onto something shorter.
You have a midlength, fish, or shortboard you want to actually figure out.
You want more speed, rail surfing, power, better turns, and better lines.
You want to surf steeper or more powerful waves.
You're tired of overthinking every surf.
You want to push yourself without turning surfing into another competition.
You don't want bro culture, a beginner meetup, or a coach yelling at you.
You want women around you who take surfing seriously and actually want to get better.
You're not interested in competing. You just want to fucking rip.
You don't have to be advanced.
You just need a vision for your surfing.
this is a holistic way to practice surfing
the thing i most want you to leave with isn't a maneuver. it's knowing how to practice.
Every session is an opportunity to notice something, try something, and learn something about your surfing. Before you paddle out, you set an intention: what am I working on today?
Then you go try it.
You fall. You get filmed. You get feedback. You go back out and try again. That's how you build self-trust — not by waiting until you're confident enough, but by showing your nervous system, over and over, that it is safe to try.
That's freedom. Freedom from overthinking. Freedom from perfectionism. From fear. From playing small.
Build your foundation.
Board, stance, positioning, wave selection, speed, and the bottom turn that sets up everything after it. Plus the biggest shift of all: what it actually means to surf on rail.

Connect your turns.
Bottom turn into top turn. Carves, cutbacks, getting vertical. You stop performing one maneuver at a time and start feeling the whole wave.
set surf intentions
connect with your signature surf style
learn you strengths and habits on shorter boards
Surf more radically.
More commitment, more speed, more rail. And yes, you might fall. That's part of the practice and in fact that’s part of being a shortboarder <3
connect with your surf anchor + vision
practice new things
overcome fears by building self-trust

one session can change everything… but surfing is a journey.
You might leave a session seeing your surfing completely differently. You might finally understand what’s been holding you back, feel something click, or have a new thing you can’t wait to try.
But the real magic happens when you keep applying it.
You surf.
You try something.
You get stuck.
You figure something out.
You try it again.
That's where the real progression happens.

One Last Thing..

One Last Thing.. *
You might be waiting until you're better.
Until you're stronger.
Until your surfing is more consistent.
Until you're more confident.
Until you “belong” in the lineup.
Until you can already surf the shorter board.
But that's backwards.
You don't become ready and then start.
You start.
You practice.
You fall.
You figure shit out.
And eventually, you look around and realize:
You're the surfer you were waiting to become.
