`Don´t fear change, embrace it`

The past six months have been a bit of a bumpy ride for everyone worldwide. No exeption for us at NOMB Surf. Cancelled surftrips, cancelled surfcoachings and travel restrictions affected our surfcoaching operations to the maximum degree.

But with every challenge and change, there comes growth. And we here at NOMB Surf are embracing the new normal and reinventing ourselves. Sure, there has been a tear or two shed, and sure, there have been some moments of complete frustration but we take it as part of the growing process.

NOMB Surf activities in autumn 2020

We are grateful that the local restrictions on Fuerteventura allow us to operate our surfschool and coach individual surfcoachings without any restrictions. COVID-19 safety measures are implemented in our operations but as we only coach private lessons it´s easy to keep the distance and follow the safety guidelines. All you need to do is get to the island 😉

Encouraging Fuerte´s female surfers

While international tourism is still limited here on the island we have taken the chance (and time) to coach and support some local chicas.

Encouring the girls here on the island to learn to surf, or to overcome their fears and progress in their surfing, this has always been something I wanted to do. The bumpy times we live in right now have given me the time and motivation to give back to the community.

You can follow the progress, challenges und fun times of the local NOMB Surfchicas on our social medial channels.

Not on Fuerte? Our Online Surfcoachings will help you

For those of you who are not able to train with us on Fuerteventura we have designed a new NOMB Surf feature: Online Surfcoachings. You will need a little bit of surf experience though in order to benefit from the online coaching.

How does the online coaching work? As with all surfcoachings we first will determine your challenges and goals and set you reachable targets. You will be asked to send us photos and/or videos of you surfing. Surfcoaching Angie will then draft you your own personal online coaching containing:

  • an analysis and feedback of your surf pics / videos
  • surf theory to make you understand your fields of error
  • physical exercises for you to practice at home
  • carver skateboard / balance board exercises to prepare you for you next surfsessions

All this will be wrapped up in a video (approx. 30min) and send to you. This way you can watch the coaching all over again, keep practising and check on our areas for improvement right before taking off on our next surfadventure.

Brand new website

New challenges, new look. We are proud to present you our freshly designed and pimped website. The site makes it easier for you to find out more about our surfschool on Fuerteventura and also about our surfcoaching trips worldwide.

It also explains you our customized surfcoaching methods, used in our coachings, surftrips and also our online coachings. We hope, that you will enjoy the new NOMB Surf online experience we have created for you.

Upcoming surtrips

Travelling has become a bit of a challenge these days. Last minute bookings seem the way to go, as you never know if you might be able to fly/get home the next day. We have adopted to the worldwide happenings and have changed our booking policy accordingly. Making it easier for you and us to stay flexible.

The following NOMB Surftrips are planned, and still have surfspaces available:

  • #IrishIdols (07/11 – 14/11/2020), 7 days surfholiday in NorthWest Ireland
  • #FuerteFloater (23/01 – 02/02/2021), 10 days surf & fitness camp on Fuerteventura (closed for bookings)
  • #FuerteFuerza (20/02 – 27/02/2021), 7 days female surfcamp on Fuerteventura (info to be announced)
  • #Galiciando (08/05 – 22/05/2021), 14 days intensive surfcamp in Galicia, Spain
  • #Galiciaddict (29/05 – 05/06/2021), 7 days intensive surfcamp in Galicia, Spain
  • #CornwallCalling (September 2021), 7 days surfholiday in Cornwall, England
  • #TaiwanTwister (November 2021), 14 days adventure surftrip in Taiwan (info to be annouced)

We are optimistic that we will be able to run all of our planned surfcoaching trips but will only go ahead with them if it´s safe to do so, and local regulations are met.
