Advanced Surfing and Competition

Advanced and competition surfing on the Basque Coast

The advanced level at Peña Txuri Surf Eskola is designed for surfers who already execute manoeuvres consistently and want to push their surfing to the limit: backside snaps, airs, barrels or paddling into bigger waves. We work in very small groups with a real training focus at Sopelana and the best surrounding spots.

At this level coaching zeroes in on the details that make a difference: manoeuvre set-up, back foot position, shoulder rotation. Our instructors have competition experience and use advanced video analysis.

Frequently asked questions

What minimum level is required for Peña Txuri’s advanced surf sessions?

You should be able to catch frontside waves consistently, execute bottom turns and basic reentries, and have experience in various wave conditions. If you’re unsure, we’ll do a free assessment before you sign up.

Can I train for surf competitions at Peña Txuri?

Yes. We have a competition programme for surfers who want to enter the Basque and national circuit. We work on heat strategy, reading contest conditions and surf-specific physical training for high-performance surfing.

What makes advanced training different from regular lessons?

At the advanced level there’s no traditional lesson. It’s a training session with real-time feedback, post-session video review and work on specific technical goals set together with the coach.
