PEAK SURF · SURF COACHING WITH JULIAN
Learn to surf
Improve your skills.
You’re browsing, but you’re not really getting anywhere?
Maybe it’s not about how often you surf the web. It’s more that no one has ever really explained to you why something works—or why it doesn’t.
I’ll help you better understand your surfing: your positioning, your timing, your takeoff, and the little mistakes that keep holding you back.
Does this sound familiar to you?
You’re in the water, but every session feels kind of the same.
You’re not sure exactly what you should be working on.
You miss out on opportunities even though you’re actually ready.
You get little or no feedback.
You’ll be starting almost from scratch again on your next vacation.
And at some point, you ask yourself:
Why am I stuck?
The point isn’t how much you surf. It’s how you surf.
Many people try to improve by simply spending more time in the water.
But surfing more will only help if you understand what you’re doing.
If you keep repeating the same movements over and over, your progress won’t automatically improve—often, it just reinforces your habits.
“Progress doesn’t happen by chance. Progress happens when you understand what you’re doing, when, how, and why.”
PEAK SURF
Julian Alexander
Julian offers coaching that goes beyond the surface.
His approach is based on his own experience: plenty of time in the water, plenty of mistakes, plenty of detours—and then, at some point, the moment when analysis, technique, and understanding changed everything.
Today, he combines personal experience, technical expertise, and calm, constructive feedback to help surfers become more mindful and confident.
I’ve spent a lot of time troubleshooting, researching, and gaining technical expertise so that you don’t have to go through the same long process.

WHY I COACH THIS WAY
I taught myself how to surf.
Without a clear plan. Without structure. With plenty of motivation—but also plenty of frustration.
I spent a lot of time in the water, tried out all sorts of things, and yet for a long time I couldn’t figure out why it sometimes worked and sometimes didn’t.
It wasn’t until I started consciously analyzing my surfing—technique, timing, positioning, and movement—that things really started to change.
Today, I help exactly the people who are at this point in their lives.
JULIAN’S COACHING PHILOSOPHY
Understand instead of guessing.
My coaching isn’t about catching as many waves as possible. It’s about making the most of every session.
I’ll help you better understand your surfing: your positioning, your timing, your takeoff, and the little mistakes that keep holding you back.
01 Why, Not Just What
You’ll learn not only what to do, but also why a particular movement, position, or decision makes sense in the water.
02 Direct Feedback
After each wave, you’ll receive clear guidance on what to work on—clear, specific, and easy to put into practice.
03 Structure, Not Chance
We don’t just work on everything; we focus specifically on the areas that are currently holding you back.
04 Quality Over Speed
I deliberately set aside time for only a few coaching sessions each day so that every session remains truly personalized.
HOW TO MAKE FASTER PROGRESS
Understand. Practice. Apply.
The fastest progress is made when time in the water, analysis, and targeted training come together.

Position, timing, takeoff, board control, and decision-making in the water.

If you want to understand how surfing really works right from the start.

What we practice together
Each session is tailored to your level. Typical topics include:
- Position in the lineup
- Timing when paddling
- Takeoff stability
- Reading the waves
- Balance & Body Tension
- First turns and changes of direction

The goal isn’t to look perfect. The goal is to surf more mindfully.

Game-changer: Video analysis
What feels right often looks completely different.
In the water, a lot of things feel fast, stable, or just right. But when you watch the video, you suddenly realize what’s actually happening.
You’ll see your posture, timing, weight transfer, and takeoff from a new perspective.
And that’s exactly what makes change so much easier.
WHY ONLY A FEW COACHING SESSIONS PER DAY
Quality is not scalable
Good coaching requires attention.
That’s why, with Julian, it’s not about cramming in as many sessions as possible each day. It’s about really taking the time to assess your skill level, your movements, your goals, and the conditions in the water.
No passing through.
No standard program.
No “

<span data-metadata="“>Frequently asked questions
Ist das Coaching auch für Anfänger geeignet?
Yes. Beginners, in particular, benefit from having structure, support, and clear feedback right from the start.
Ich surfe schon, komme aber nicht weiter. Passt das?
Yes. That’s exactly what Julian’s coaching is best suited for: if you already surf but are struggling with timing, positioning, take-offs, or catching waves.
Gibt es Videoanalyse?
Depending on the coaching format, video analysis can be incorporated. It is particularly helpful for advanced surfers because it makes their movements visible.
Kann ich Surfskate und Wassertraining kombinieren?
Yes. Surfskating is a great way to understand movements on land and then apply them more consciously in the water later on.
Wo findet das Coaching statt?
Conditions are selected based on skill level, wind, swell, and safety. The appropriate spot is determined on a case-by-case basis.
In welcher Sprache findet der Surfkurs statt?

Muss ich etwas mitbringen?
For your surfing lesson, we recommend that you bring a towel or poncho, swimwear to wear underneath, and sunscreen.
If you don’t have your own surfing gear, Julian will be happy to provide it for you.
If you don’t want to keep guessing.
Then let’s figure out together what’s holding you back right now—and how you can surf with more awareness, confidence, and joy.
