Martin Dunn to direct National Level-2 Coaching Course


The Spanish Surfing Federation, with the cooperation of Surfing Australia and the International Surfing Association will hold two Level II Training Courses in Europe; the first one will take place in Galicia, and the second in the Canary Islands.

This course will be part of the project of training programs organized by the Spanish Surfing Federation.

  The alumni will obtain an ISA Level II Surf Coach Accreditation, and an effort will be made to validate the hours for the 1st Official Level II Training Course (Education Department) that will be offered in 2010 and will obtain a 200€ discount when registering for this course.

Important notice: Alumni of the first course will then have preference to access the 1st Official Level II Training Course (Ministry of Education) that will be held in 2010 and will complete the formation and certification as NATIONAL SURFING TRAINER.

The renowned Australian trainer MARTIN DUNN will teach this course.  He is considered by many to be one of the best trainers in the world. Among his many accomplishments, he trains fourteen of the 45 ASP Top Ten and ten of the ISA WJSC champions. 

This is without a doubt a very unique opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge of the training techniques used by the world’s best surfers.
