About Surf Coach Leo

Hi, I’m Leo – Private Surf Coach and Surf Guide with over 13 years of international experience in surf coaching, surf guiding and high-end surf travel.

I began surfing as a teenager purely for the joy of it, without any coaching or structured guidance. Maybe that’s why I know how frustrating it can feel when progress doesn’t come easily and how much of a difference the right guidance at the right moment can make.

By the age of 17 I was working in surf camps, initially just to surf more. That’s when I realised how technical and complex surfing really is. Timing, line choice, body mechanics and being in the right spot at the right moment can make all the difference – no matter your level.

Over the years, I have coached all over the world in luxury resorts, retreats, surf schools, family surf camps and on private surf trips. From kids to teens, adults to silver surfers – every surfer learns differently and brings their own strengths, challenges and experiences to the water.

I hold the highest international surf certifications, a degree in Health & Sport Tourism, and additional training in sports psychology, pedagogy and coaching methodology. Breathwork and meditation are also part of my approach, forming the holistic foundation of how I guide every private surf coaching session. This ensures that each experience is tailored to you – helping you progress efficiently and find your own flow in the water.

At Satori Surf, coaching goes beyond technique. It’s about real growth and creating moments that stay with you long after the session ends.
