Hi I’m Michalina –Your Surf Coach in Fuerteventura

Surf coaching works best when trust, experience, and clear communication come together. As a surf coach based in Fuerteventura Corralejo, I combine structured teaching with a calm, supportive approach that helps surfers feel safe, motivated, and confident in the water.

Years of coaching in different conditions have shaped a teaching style that focuses on understanding the ocean, reading waves, and developing solid fundamentals – always adapted to individual abilities. Whether you join a small group session or book private surf lessons, the goal remains the same: sustainable progress and a positive surf experience built on respect for the ocean and for your own learning pace.

Learn smarter, progress faster

As a surfer I constantly learn and deepen my surf knowledge. Going from zero to competition as an adult requires a huge amount of sacrifice and studying not only the movements but also the ocean.

Throughout my surfing journey I’ve learnt what works for adult learners and I am now passing it to make your progression easier and faster! Keeping groups small for personalised and constant feedback in the water.

I’ve done multiple classes with Michelle during my two weeks in Fuerte. The groups are small, which means that every participant gets a lot of feedback and attention. Michelle managed to choose times and spots with little to no crowds - sometimes we were literally alone in the water! Last but not least, she’s super nice and fun. Would definitely recommend her classes!

My teaching Style

My approach to coaching adult surfers is built upon a foundation of personal experience – moving from the competitive arena to the pure joy of navigating the ocean’s complexities. I deeply understand that adult learners face different obstacles than children, including limited time, fear of injury, and the struggle to break ingrained habits.

My coaching style is profoundly individual-focused, prioritizing tailored, one-on-one attention to address specific needs rather than a “one-size-fits-all” approach.

Here is an overview of my coaching philosophy and methodology

Empathy-Driven Coaching

I understand that adults often come to surfing with a “day job”, adult responsibilities, and sometimes a fear of falling. I focus on creating a supportive, safe, and positive environment that builds confidence, reducing the anxiety that often acts as a bottleneck for progression.

Tailored Goal Setting

Every adult has a unique goal – whether it’s just catching that first foamie, navigating the lineup, or mastering green waves. I sit down with students to understand their motivation and craft a customized training program that is both challenging and enjoyable, celebrating the small wins along the way.

Individualized Feedback

Using video analysis (when appropriate) and immediate verbal feedback in the water. I break down techniques (paddling, popping up, body positioning) to correct mistakes early and prevent bad habits from taking root.
