"First and most important, I’ve almost completely eliminated my shoulder discomfort thanks to your class. Second, I’m developing a better feel for the proper paddling stroke when I execute it.
When I visited you I had been experiencing a couple of months of pain in my right shoulder. I was receiving treatment. However, I would say that adjusting my paddling stroke based on your coaching has been the most helpful in correcting the problem.
During several sessions, I was actually surprised that I was getting into waves with less effort. I can feel the difference in my surfing. I'm building better habits"

"Man... The difference is staggering... I was riding a 7'10 (~55L) on the training last month and I just bought my new board... A 6'6 (41L). I took the new board out this weekend and was impressed by how I could make such a jump in board volume and still catch waves! I'll go ahead and say that the training was fundamental to get me to a level of satisfaction that I could not imagine... Surfing makes me happy.... The course helped me to get to a new level of surfing ----> You made me happy! Haha!
Thank you so much for the help!"

"Rob, your course and commentary are SO HELPFUL. I am really pumped on it. I have only been surfing for a couple years and paddling was definitely my weakest point. Super stoked to have taken your course and will definitely be coming back. Could feel the difference right off the bat. Helped so much in Indo. Especially with paddling out. Such long waves. Those tips helped a ton not gassing getting back out. Thank you!"
