I booked Justin for my first ever surfcoaching. Even if the waves weren’t so perfect, Justin could really help me to identify bad habits and gave me great tips to improve my surfing. We split the session into 3/4 heats where we did efficient video analyses in between, before heading out again to embody the tips. After the session, Justin sent me valuable footage of the heats with some key things to focus on. I will book another session with Justin and should have done it much earlier. Thumbs up!

Justin is a great coach and I highly recommend booking a couple of sessions with him if you want to improve your surfing. Not only does he pay great attention to each and every detail of your surfing, he also finds the right spots and will use his toolbox to make to help you progress. Unlike most surf schools, Justin will not rush to get you out of the water after an hour or so, but squeeze the last drop out of each session. Last but not least, Justin is just a great guy and really fun to hang out with!
Justin is a fantastic guy with a professional attitude that's is going to bring your surf level towards the next level, what ever your level. But there is also time for a joke or he shares some of his wisdom about life. I've booked already two times with mr. West and I going back for sure! Couscous!
I would highly recommend Justin for surf coaching. I have learned a lot through having lessons with him about surfing, the ocean and the local spots. He is an incredibly patient and knowledgeable coach.
I had 5 days of coaching from Justin in October and really enjoyed it! Background info: I've been surfing on and off for a couple of years, so I'm sort of a beginner still and was trying to take some more waves and to make more of the ones I was taking. Never had any real coaching before, so did not really know what to expect. Justin makes sure to give you some clear tips and working points every 'heat' and backs it up with loads of video material. Really helped that at the end of most days he'd sent the videos with the clear working points summarised with each video. No vague tips or half suggestions, just clear working points to work on! Working with Justin made me feel like I finally know now what I need to do to become a better surfer, got heaps of things to work with, really would recommend it! It was fun to see and feel my progression throughout these few days, can't wait to get back in the water and work further on it! On top of being a great coach, Justin is also just a really friendly and chill person, which made the whole experience fun. Never felt bad about not being a great surfer, Justin makes you feel at ease and gives you exactly the tips and tricks you need to improve!
Justin was super professional, took us to good waves which were conducive with our level of surfing and clearly knows his stuff. Justin worked with us for just two days, but my surfing and approach to waves has changed dramatically and got me out of the plateau that I was experiencing. I didn't believe really in 'coaching' before, but my mate booked it, and I'm 100% a changed man and would highly recommend coaching. I will definitely call on Justin again, the next time we come back.
Justin has really helped me to progress my surfing skills after what felt like a long, long plateau. By picking the best suitable waves and using his video feedback technique it didn’t take us more than 20 mins before we started working on improving some very specific feedback points. I really liked that Justin didn’t overwhelm me during those sessions but aimed to focus on the one or two things to focus on. Also in general he‘s just a really sound guy - always nice, quick to reply and helpful. So if you’re serious about bringing your surfing to the next level, book some time in with Justin!
It was great working with you as surfcoach! You have a very clear and calm way of explanation and I liked the way we got our feedback in between surfing heats, so I could immediately try to adapt my technique and push myself. Thanks for the trainingssession!!
