You've watched the YouTube tutorials. You've scrolled through the Instagram reels. You've read the listicles—"5 Tips to Improve Your Pop-Up." And yet, when you paddle out, not much has changed.
That's not your fault. Most surf content is designed to get clicks, not to get you waves.
The typical advice floats on the surface: bend your knees, look where you want to go, commit. It's not wrong, exactly. It's just incomplete. It tells you what without explaining why. It skips the underlying mechanics—the positioning that earns you priority, the forecasting knowledge that puts you in the right place at the right time, the fitness that makes your body capable of what your mind already understands.
Surfing is too complex to be reduced to tips. It's a system. Your paddling affects your positioning. Your positioning affects your wave selection. Your wave selection affects your confidence. Your confidence affects your commitment. Everything connects.
That's why I built Dr. Dion's Surf Secrets.
Every Friday, I send one publication to subscribers. Not a tip. Not a hack. A piece of the system—technique breakdowns that explain the why, surf-specific workouts, lineup strategy, forecasting decoded, etiquette that earns respect in the water. The kind of knowledge that compounds over time.
This isn't content designed to perform well on social media. It's designed to make you perform well in the water.
What you get for $25/month—the best value in virtual surf coaching:
Weekly technique, strategy, and mindset breakdowns
Surf-specific workouts and mobility routines

Direct line to a coach with a PhD who actually surfs
I've coached surfers at every level, from first-timers to competitors. The ones who progress fastest aren't the most athletic. They're the most curious. They want to understand what's actually happening—not just be told what to do.
If that sounds like you, Surf Secrets is the entry point.
Knowledge changes everything. Subscribe to Dr. Dion's Surf Secrets and start surfing like you understand what you're doing.
