Level Up provides a highly efficient approach to surf strength training that is totally different than what I tried doing on my own for years. The results really are next level, I can feel and see myself getting stronger and more flexible than I have never experienced before in my life. At last I have control in paddling and can master a pop up without feet because of a strong core. The app is easy to use and well structured, and the coach is always swift to react, friendly and to the point. Don't lose time, start training now!

I’m really enjoying the Blueprint Surf Technique Course. It’s exactly what I needed: clear, structured instruction and specific focus points from a coach I trust. I now know exactly what to work on each time I’m in the water, and it’s already making a noticeable difference to my surfing. The course includes detailed explanations and high-quality demonstrations, both on land and in the water, making every technique easy to understand. It’s packed with lots practical tips. One of the biggest benefits for me is that it has cleared up many doubts and misconceptions I had about surfing technique. I feel much more confident in what I’m practicing and why. I highly recommend it.

As a beginning intermediate surfer I attended my First coaching trip with Level Up. At first I was a bit scared of the higher surfing level of the other riders but the coach perfectly switched his feedback between all of us. The coach had a professional way of working and their was room for humor. The enthousiasm of the coach was awesome.

Following Keith's "level up programme" has certainly been a major game changer in my physical health and performance. The flexible and tailor made approach and the personal follow-up allowed me to get the most out of it and achieve significant progress in a short time span. The workouts have undoubtedly had a massive impact on my performance in the water. Having better stamina, more strength and explosivity has allowed me to focus more on surf technique when I'm actually surfing. Finally and most importantly, Keith designed the workouts in a way to keep you motivated and have fun.

Super cool week behind with Level Up! In addition to the tips while surfing, there was video analysis, stretching and additional surfing tips every night. The analysis made it very clear what you need to work on and how to help yourself and others improve their surfing. When it was necessary Keith went into the water with us to coach us there and help those for whom it was necessary. Keith is a 'super bien' coach!!! Hopefully until another trip!

Thanks to the surf training on land, the stretches and the good vibe with the group I improved my surfing during my first coaching trip. The video analysis is very clarifying because you get instant feedback from the coach. Every session I am now able to reflect my own surfing and keep improving.

Been training with Keith for a while now. He customizes a comprehensive and varied workout schedule. The workouts focus on both strength and flexibility and are effective for surfing. Keith is very helpful and once you send a message he responds promptly and comprehensively. Would definitely recommend training with Level Up to improve your surfing and be ready for your surf sessions.

On my coaching trip with Level Up I had a unique experience. It was a week filled by the motto “train on land, perform on water”. We truly trained on land, did long surf sessions, got valuable insights and finished every day with a video analysis of our own surf footage. The coach had a rich experience in surfing but above all he had a holistic approach. It was more than just surf coaching. We talked anatomy and surfing biomechanics and learned how our body is moving in surfing. I had allot of fun with the group with some hillarious moments. This Level Up Surf Coaching trip was a Masterclass I will never forget.

Just got back from a surf coaching trip with Level Up! This trip has helped me enormously to improve my technique. Every day there is a video analysis, which is very useful because it gives you insight into what you are doing right and wrong during the surf sessions. Everyone gets points for improvement at their own level, which you then have to work on the next day. Keith is professional and a very good coach! I recommend Level Up to anyone who wants to improve their technique!

I joined a surf coaching trip with Keith and a great group of fellow surfers in France in September 2025, and it was an incredible experience. I gained valuable insights into how to improve my surfing, both technically and mentally.
Keith’s land-based coaching, detailed video analysis, and practical, actionable tips, combined with his enthusiasm for surfing, were truly motivating. He not only helped me progress during the trip but also equipped me with the tools to continue coaching myself afterward.
I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to level up their surf skills. And Keith, you're doing an outstanding job, thank you! I thoroughly enjoyed every moment.surf coaching trip / video analysis

In my experience, the LUSC set-up coaching scheme, combining the daily surf approach on site, was the perfect mix to unlock/begin/accelerate my learning curve. Also, he refreshed a broad technical surfing details I forgot, reconnecting me to the sport, in a more mental and physical approach. If you join, I recommend a total commitment attitude, as it's highly focused on you, your bad habits, mistakes, or just improving the next steps for a better performance.

Just got back from an amazing week of Level Up surf coaching. Keith is a highly professional coach. He pushes you out of your comfort zone in a structured and responsible way, helping you progress in various conditions. After each session, there’s stretching and video analysis, both approached with the same level of professionalism. You learn just as much from reviewing your own footage as from watching and discussing others' analyses. Beyond the surf coaching, Keith is great company and he is helpful, easygoing, and always sharing great stories or insights during the rides to the surf spots. Highly recommended for anyone looking to take their surfing to the next level!

Had an awesome surf coaching trip in France with Keith and a great crew of dedicated surfers from all over the globe! Keith’s knowledge and passion for technique improvement and fitness is incredible. I’ve done a few surf coaching experiences and none have been so detail oriented and individually focused. Keith brings a super professional and focused program, ensuring we maximize water time, work on our specific progressions and thoroughly review video at the end of the day. This was also a great opportunity to get to know some world class spots in Southern France. I look forward to doing another trip and plan to integrate Level Up fitness education into my weekly routine. Thanks Keith! So stoked to have this opportunity!

I recently took part in Keith's Level Up Surf Coaching trip - it's a game-changer! It's absolutely worth the investment. The week was intense yet incredibly valuable. Keith prepares every part of the week, dedicating his full energy and attention to helping each individual achieve their goals. Both the in-water and out-of-water sessions are incredibly informative. I found the approach to be exceptionally valuable, with many actionable takeaways, and I definitely plan on continuing to work with Level Up Surf Coaching to meet my goals. If you're considering working with Keith online or participating in a Surf Trip, my advice is - don't hesitate and dive right in. If you are committed then you will gain a lot from it. You will also meet great people on this trip, who share the same passion and drive to improve.

I signed up for the Level Up Surf Training to prepare for a surf trip. During previous surf vacations, I often struggled with neck and shoulder pain. The app is very user-friendly, and streaming the workouts on TV makes it easy to follow along. I love that new workouts are added monthly, keeping things fresh. The mix of mobility, strength, and core exercises is excellent. Even though I started just six weeks before my trip, I noticed a big difference, less pain and more paddling power! The personalized feedback on training comments was a great and unexpected bonus.

I joined the Level Up trip as an intermediate surfer after a month of app training, and I highly recommend it. Keith is a passionate, professional coach who helped me improve far more than expected. The program boosted my strength and endurance, even with 2–3 long sessions a day. The training structure and pre/post-surf routines kept me energized throughout the week. Keith’s clear feedback (in the water, on the beach and via video) really improved my ability to analyze my own surfing. I now understand what I’m doing right or wrong and how to progress. The follow-up video analysis after the trip was also great. This is a true training trip, not just a surf holiday. It’s challenging, focused on improvement, and very rewarding. I even signed up for the year program afterwards.

Surf coaching with Level Up Surf Coaching was an absolute success!
Keith really knows his stuff and always managed to find the best surf spots and conditions for the whole group. During the sessions, I always felt noticed and supported. He gave me useful tips and little adjustments and always supportive, which helped me see my surfing from a different perspective and stay aware of what I could improve.
I especially loved some of his metaphors, like “Imagine you have a Rolex on your arm and watch it during your twist.” Somehow, these little images really stuck with me and helped me turn certain movements into something much more natural and automatic.
You can tell that Keith has a huge amount of knowledge and experience, but what I really liked is how well he can pass it on his surf students. I learned a lot and definitely feel like my surfing has moved up a level.
The whole setup around the coaching was great too — the location, the people behind the scenes, and the overall vibe. Everything just worked really well together.
All in all, an awesome surf coaching experience! Would definitely do it again. Thanks for an amazing experience and a surfed out brain after an amazing weeksurf coaching trip

I highly recommend Level Up Surf Coaching and Keith like a surf trainer. I pushed my level in surf to the next level with him. I was in surf trip for 5 days with Keith and I did big performance push. Three powerful surf sessions a day with video analysis moves all your surf movements to the next level. Keith and guys was very friendly and professional and it was a perfect vibe be there. Thank you a lot.

I went on a week surfing/coaching trip with Level Up in Labenne-Océan, France and it was a fantastic experience. Keith is very committed and dedicated to helping you improve your surfing. There's video analysis at the end of the day which really is an eye opener and incredibly helpful when it comes to progressing in the water. Keith also joins you in the water sometimes and gives more tips and great advice there! Going a 'Level Up' is how I feel now about my surfing and I'm enjoying, applying and practicing what I learned on the trip.

With Keith's experience in the field of personal coaching and his expertise in surfing, I was convinced that my surfing skills would definitely improve.
His approach during a coaching trip is very personal and focuses mainly on what you need to learn as a surfer.
I would highly recommend his surf trips to anyone who wants to become better in their surfing and have more fun in the water. I have already signed up for the next trip!surf coaching trip

Keith is a professional (surf) coach with eye for the individual sporter. Keith develops a training program prior to the surf trip based on an extended survey for each individual. During the training weeks, you can ask for feedback, more tips or other exercises. Keith follows the progress of each sporter as well via his app. The trip was well organised and there weren't any problems of a kind. He made meetings prior to a surf session and the day before. He made sure everyone was comfortable in the water and tried to push our limits within safety.
Every day we received an expert video analysis per individual. During some sessions, Keith joined us in the water and gave immediate feedback during the session. For me personally, I developed and increase in performance, technicality and new manoeuvres in surfing. I will definitely go again with Keith to improve my surfing level. To summarise Level Up Surf Coaching: Professional, high quality, individual related, kind, well organised!surf training app / surf coaching trip / video analysis

I started surfing a little more then a year ago while in my mid 40s. Signed up with Keith shortly thereafter and haven’t regretted it. My fitness and flexibilty have improved exponentially over the last year. Especially in my case coming from a football background his training exercises provided me with the much needed fitness and flexibilty. Besides being a really nice guy he also answers every question you have personally and can address underlying physical issues if necessary! Keep going Keith!

I recently took surf coaching in the Mentawai’s with Keith, and it made a huge difference to my surfing. He helped me push my limits in a safe and progressive way, improve my wave reading, and expand my range of maneuvers. What stood out most was learning how to better judge what to do and when to do it on a wave. Epic game changer!
Keith’s coaching style is clear, patient, and focused on building strong fundamentals. The repetition of key tips and techniques really helped reinforce good habits and gave me a much better foundation. As a result, I now get far more enjoyment and confidence from surfing than before. I highly recommend Keith to anyone looking to improve their surfing, regardless of their current level. Five star’s for this guy!surf coaching trip

Thought I knew how to surf until I did the coaching trip with Keith. Keith's extensive knowledge and experience as a surfer and trainer is clearly visible in every aspect of the coaching. Throughout the trip I have gotten a good understanding of where I'm at and what I need to work on to take my surfing to the next level. 'Level up' is exactly how I felt by the end of the week. Next to that I have a lot of respect for the professionalism, honesty, dedication and kindness with which Keith treats every single participant. Thank you!

I got to join the surf trip to Labenne. Sublime surf coaching, you learn from the first second to the last. Super personal coaching and video analysis. A complete approach tailored to your own level. Preparation through a training program, paddling, duck diving, speed, technique, tactics... even in the no-wave training he knew how to push us and teach us more. His passion and genuine motivation work: he truly wants you to get better and knows exactly how. Thank you Keith!

Keith is an absolute legend. Not only as a person, but as a surf coach as well. I was lucky enough to spend nearly 2 weeks with him in Mentawai islands on one of his surf trips and it was the best time I've ever had. The coaching that I received was extremely helpful. Especially the video analysis. He really spent time to break down everything going on in my surfing (good and bad) and help me understand how to fix it. He explains things in a way that makes a lot of sense and doesn't try to overcomplicate it. I have received video analysis from other coaches but never as good as Keith. He has expert level knowledge on biomechanics and optimal surfing movements. I would imagine he could even coach professional surfers. He really understands what makes surfing look good and feel fun. The surf trips he plans are also exceptional. Everything is so well thought out and taken care of. I didn't feel like a single ball was dropped and always made sure things were done right. He really is there to help us get better, not just to surf with us. There was many days where he spent more time filming us than surfing even though the waves were perfect. When he did go surf with us, he always gave great tips after waves while having a fun time. He has very amazing mindset coaching as well. Many times I would have been too scared to go out but he helped us work through mental blocks that I struggled to handle on my own. He has a great way of just letting us work through fear without pushing too hard but enough to help us overcome those fears. Keith isn't just an another surf coach. He has really cool energy and overall positive vibe. He so genuinely cares for his students and other surfers. Not to mention, he also surfs really good. It was inspiring to the whole group watching him surf big Kandui and Bank Vaults getting shacked. I'll finish this off by saying I wouldn't go to anybody else for coaching after working with Keith. If you genuinely want to get better, he will make you a better surfer. Simple as that. Thank you so much for everything man!
