The PINTXOS Approach

Flow isn't found.
It's built.

I'm in the water to listen, understand, encourage and help you unlock your potential. Every surfer progresses differently — my role isn't to give you a generic lesson, but to identify what's actually holding you back.

Flow is built through confidence, understanding and repetition. It's that state where everything becomes simpler, smoother, more natural. That's where I want to take you.

Surf hard.
Stay humble.

Théo Loustau Cazalet · BPJEPS Surf

If this sounds like you
01

You've been stuck for months and don't know why.

You surf regularly, you catch waves — but you feel you've plateaued. Nobody has ever told you precisely what you do well, and what's holding you back.

02

You lack confidence in more engaging conditions.

You hesitate, you doubt, you let pass waves you should catch. It's not a skill problem — it's an engagement and understanding problem.

03

You want to break through — fast, and for good.

You want to go from beginner to intermediate, or intermediate to advanced. These transitions are the hardest. Properly coached, they become progression accelerators.

The Method

Train.
Understand.
Progress.

A PINTXOS coaching session is a complete method: from dry land to the water, and from the water to your written plan. Everything is designed so you understand what you do, why you do it, and how to keep progressing after our session.

01

2h in the water

Personalized coaching in real conditions. I'm in the water with you to observe, correct in real time and push at the right moment.

02

Video analysis

Every wave filmed and broken down together. Take-off angle, weight transfer, rotation, gaze. You finally see what you do.

03

Technical drills

35 min of surf-specific drills — rotations, weight shifts, coordination, gaze. Understand the movement before reproducing it.

04

Progression plan

A written document after the session: your score, strengths, growth areas and concrete next objectives.

PINTXOS video analysis: technical breakdown of a take-off with angles, weight transfer and performance indicators
Technical video analysis

See what you do. For real.

You can surf for ten years without ever seeing your take-off from the outside. PINTXOS video analysis is the tool that changes everything: we film every wave, isolate the key moments, and break them down together.

  • Take-off angle and trajectory
  • Shoulder rotation and engagement
  • Front/back weight distribution
  • Paddle timing and positioning
  • Gaze, balance and confidence

You leave with concrete footage of your progression and a clear understanding of what's left to work on.

Tangible proof

Your progression, written down.

After every session, you receive your personalized progression sheet: overall score, detailed skill evaluation, mental / technical / attitude strengths, growth areas and next objectives. Concrete. Measurable. Yours to keep.

Who it's for

3 types of surfers. 1 method.

Beginner

You're starting and you want solid foundations.

Skip months of trial and error. Build the right habits from day one: paddle position, take-off, wave reading.

  • Understand the ocean
  • Nail your first take-offs
  • Avoid building bad reflexes
Intermediate

You're stuck and you want to break through.

The profile I work with most. You can surf, but you've plateaued. Together, we unblock what's slowing you down.

  • Read the wave and anticipate
  • Commit on the take-off
  • First controlled turns
Advanced

You want to refine your technique.

You surf well, you're chasing precision. Deep video analysis, work on the details that make the difference.

  • Optimize your maneuvers
  • Sharpen positioning and timing
  • Prepare for more committed sessions
PINTXOS land-based technical drills: preparation and understanding of movements before getting in the water
Surf-specific drills

Understand the move before reproducing it.

What classic surf schools don't do. Before every session, surf-specific dry-land work — so your body understands the gesture on land, and the water becomes the place where you apply, not where you learn.

  • Rotations and coordination
  • Weight transfers and balance
  • Mobility and body control
  • Gaze and posture work

On land as in the water. Same mechanics.

FAQ

The questions people ask me.

Everything you want to know before booking your session.

Yes. PINTXOS coaching is designed for every level — beginners building solid foundations, intermediates feeling stuck, and advanced surfers chasing a technical breakthrough. Every session is tailored to your real level, never to a generic program.
Yes. Coaching covers both longboard and shortboard. Wave reading, positioning, timing and balance are worked on both supports — with specifics for each board.
The session is rescheduled to a date that works for you. Coaching only makes sense in surfable conditions — we never force it. I watch forecasts and reach out as soon as a reschedule is needed.
Not mandatory but strongly recommended. Surfing with your own gear helps you understand your sensations and work on the equipment you actually use. If you don't have any, we'll discuss it before the session.
1 or 2 people max. Non-negotiable: it's what guarantees truly personalized coaching. Full attention on you, precise video analysis, custom progression plan.
