TESTIMONIALS

  • Damien Bradley

    Spent two days with Alex at Nomad Surf, and I can’t recommend him enough! He helped me progress so much by identifying bad habits I didn’t even know were there. He explained why they were affecting my surfing, how to fix them, and why those changes would make a difference.

    The video analysis was a complete game changer. Alex broke everything down in a way that made perfect sense. He also gave me a clear breakdown of what to work on for my next surf, which was super helpful.

    To top it off, he got some epic photos from our last session, making an already awesome weekend even better. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and fun— if I could give more than five stars, I would!
