“At first it was hard hearing what you’re doing wrong. There’s some resistance there, then a couple of days later it’s like, ‘Fuck, some of these things are starting to work!’”
- James, 33, Melbourne via New Zealand

“I truly enjoyed it. At times it was intense, but I’ll be taking back home some really good foundational skills.”
- Henry, 57, San Diego

“Clayton was very direct. It wasn’t necessarily what I wanted to hear but it was what I needed to hear. As long as you can get over the fact that it’s not an insult, that it's just constructive, then you’re surfing can improve a lot.”
- Tobias, 32, North-eastern US

Jim, Hank, and Toby were among the first group to go through the Swellnet Macaronis Coaching Clinic back in January last year. This year we're doing the same again, only with additional trips to accomodate demand.

Professional surf coach Clayton Nienaber will assess each guests surfing giving real time and video feeback. While photos will be taken by Clayton's brother, renowned surf photographer Shayne Nienaber. The trip(s) are aimed towards intermediate surfers ambitious to improve their skill set - or even those looking to get some off-season waves (along with uncrowded Macaronis, the guests last year also surfed Green Bush with no-one around).
