Summer trade wind funnels between the islands and blows hard for weeks. The north coast has reef and beach breaks, the south a wide lagoon for the days you need to breathe.
This is where riders come once flat water stops teaching them anything — you should already ride upwind and jump before you book.
The house is in the middle of the island, so each morning we pick the coast with the best wind and swell. The van carries the gear; the boat meets us on wave days.
The forecast decides the coast, and the coast decides the day. We leave early and come back when the wind drops.
Wind, swell and tide on one screen — then the van heads north for waves or south for the lagoon.
Riding waves with a coach on a jet ski and a clear rule for every set that rolls in.
Long runs at full speed while the wind is at its strongest of the day.
Every wave you caught, slowed down, with your coach pointing at the one thing to change.
The two-kilometre lagoon where most of our riders learn — and come back to learn to jump.
Four riders per coach, four spots worldwide, and a season that does not wait for you to be ready.
