That’s a wrap on what has been an epic week of t That’s a wrap on what has been an epic week of training in Portugal for the @britishsurfing Home Nations camp 🇬🇧🇵🇹 The lads left the bar high, then the girls came in and smashed it in tough conditions. It’s been a pleasure to coach and get to know these athletes better. The level of focus and quality they brought was insane, and hats off to the Juniors on camp as well - who more than held their own! They all now know what they need to do technically and physically to take their surfing to the next level - and I’m excited to see it 👀 Shout out to the legend that is @goncalomvcruz and all the staff at @surfclubedeviana for their hospitality and support. It’s a world class facility. Congrats to @surf_solutions and @gwen_spurlock for pulling together a world class training camp. We’re in good hands 👏🏼 Also these legends: @llewellynwhittaker @liftcoaching @mullally91 (bloody good rep) @michael.pellegrino @lugarts
Awesome first few days at the @britishsurfing Home Awesome first few days at the @britishsurfing Home Nations Camp in 🇵🇹 Fair play to the lads, they raised the bar every single session and there were some monster performances in and out of the water 💪🏼🥷 Pleasure getting to know them well and I’m excited to see them progress. Bring on the girls 👊🏻 Hats off to the staff for pulling together what has been a world class training camp. @surf_solutions @gwen_spurlock @llewellynwhittaker @liftcoaching @mullally91
THE BRITISH ARE COMING 🇬🇧🌊 Today is the THE BRITISH ARE COMING 🇬🇧🌊 Today is the eve of the 2022 @isasurfing World Surfing Games and I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited before a comp. Not just because this is an #olympic qualifying event, but because we’ve never been in a better place as a surfing nation. Of course we’ve competed before, but this time marks the start of an exciting journey for @britishsurfing. There is a plan and a real network of support developing around our athletes, and it’s nothing more than they deserve for years of hard work. They couldn’t ask for better management in @surf_solutions and @gwen_spurlock, plus the absolute legend that is @llewellynwhittaker 🤙🏽 We should be so excited about the squad who we have sent out there. Immensely talented, committed athletes and amazing people (for the most part 😉😘). Not forgetting the ridiculous talent back home as well! It’s an absolute privilege to be working with some of them and to have played even the smallest part in their preparation, and I know handsome Ben @liftcoaching feels the same 🥲 This is just the start of the journey 🚂 🏅 #thistraindontstop
What an epic week at @boardmasters and the @animal What an epic week at @boardmasters and the @animaluk Pro, running warm ups, carrying boards and generally cheerleading. It was insanely busy, but epic! Time spent travelling to France and laying in bed with illness (🤦🏻‍♂️) has given me a chance to process just how mega it was. Here’s a few highlights: 👉 spending the week with my driver, @scottish_surfer. The man is a legend and will genuinely do anything for anyone (he clearly doesn’t like brioche though, which is weird). 👉 @lucycsurf competing aggressively on her way to clinching a semi final spot. It was a pleasure being in your corner. As an aside, @alexlibby123 and I are world class caddies / coaches. 👉 @logannicol and @gearoidmcdaid going head to head (which made the warm up awkward 😂). These two lads are absolute class and there is much more to come 👊🏻 👉 watching @lukas_skinner at his age, stand up to some of the best surfers in Europe. Pure class. I also gatecrashed Lukas’ pre heat ritual with @skindoggydog, which was less ideal 😂 👉 always a joy watching @lukedillon7 surf in person. It didn’t go the way he wanted but again more to come from him for sure. He also possesses the biggest set of quads in Cornwall. 👉 @louisthomashudson doing well in both Animal Pro and @bfgoodrichtires LQS event. Once he’s used to competing in smaller waves he’s gonna fly! 👉 sunset surfs ❤️ It was the first time in a few years that this event has been in the @wsl.qs and it’s so clear how much depth we have and how close we are to breaking into the #challengerseries. Bring it on 👊🏻 Onto Pro Anglet in Biarritz next for me to do a bit more cheerleading 📣🇫🇷 📸 5: @lucycsurf
Training action sports athletes is awesome. A mas Training action sports athletes is awesome. A massive challenge sometimes, but always a pleasure. A huge part of my philosophy when it comes to ‘online coaching’ is that I still have to see each athlete IN PERSON. I need to see them in the gym with my own eyes. Hopefully, I’ll also get the chance to go surfing with them afterwards (no matter how embarrassing that might be for me in most cases). There are two main reasons I do this. Firstly, as a coach it’s so much more effective to screen and coach somebody in person. The best Zoom call or online screening in the world doesn’t come close to what you pick up when you’re actually in the room with someone. Secondly and most importantly is building TRUST and cementing our relationship. The phrase “Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care” is what I always come back to when building strong relationships and it’s SO true. I would run over hot coals for the people I work with. Or at least lukewarm ones 🔥 If you’re interested in working with me and getting the most out of your surfing, feel free to message me and we can have a chat 👍 DISCLAIMER: If you live in California, I will need to charge for the flights 😉 • • • • • #surfing #surfworkout #surftraining #surffitness #surf #surfer #instafit #surfcoaching #fitnessmotivation #waves #surfboard #wave #exercise #strong #crossfit #gains #girlswholift #surfphotography #nutrition #body #fitspiration #getfit #strengthtraining #strengthandconditioning #conditioning #pullup #paddling #paddlefitness
THE ‘SECRET’ TO IMPROVING PADDLE POWER 🤐🏊 Featuring mind-bending cinematography (with sound effects and everything). In a nutshell: Keep it simple. Don’t overcomplicate (basically the same as ‘keep it simple’, but this is an important point) Just get stronger. Job done ✅ Hope this helps. If you’re interested in a no-nonsense, evidence-based approach to preparing physically for surfing, feel free to get in touch for coaching 👍 Alan • • • • • #surfing #surfworkout #surftraining #surffitness #surf #surfer #instafit #gymlife #fitnessmotivation #waves #surfboard #wave #exercise #strong #crossfit #gains #girlswholift #surfphotography #nutrition #body #fitspiration #getfit #strengthtraining #strengthandconditioning #conditioning #pullup #paddling #paddlefitness
A STORY ABOUT TURNING UP……/ @logannicol apprec A STORY ABOUT TURNING UP……/ @logannicol appreciation post 👊🏻 It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Between #commonwealthgames prep, working with more and more action sport athletes and little projects here and there, I haven’t been able to find the time. What better way to return to posting than with a story about a young Welsh lad with big dreams, bundles of talent and an unbelievable work ethic. Also it’s not often a lad comes along with such great teeth, they actually get a name-check in @stab (alongside some outrageous slab surfing in a North East secret spot with @patrickldark). I’m always slightly uncomfortable referring to the athletes I work with as @adrenaline.athlete Team Surfer or similar. I’d feel like I’m trying to lay some sort of claim on their successes. I basically do adult PE….it’s really not that difficult compared to what the athletes (or most people) do! Especially in this case. Logan is not Team @adrenaline.athlete. I’m Team Logan. Because, yes he is clearly very talented but above all else, this guy shows up. He has not yet missed a single gym session. He trains with INTENT. He is always asking for more (in fact my main challenge is holding him back!). Congrats @logannicol on successfully defending your @welshsurfing_ National Title. It was a pleasure to watch mate 👏🏼 I can’t wait to see where this level of talent and dedication can take you over the next few years. Keep yer head down lad as I know you will 💪🏼 Shout out to @patrickldark who was class as always, and @eliperrinsdavies - what a phenomenal talent at 15. It won’t be long until he’s pushing you boys all the way I’m sure. Exciting times ahead for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏄‍♂️ 📷 pic 3: @photodotcymru
