Very proud to officially join Team Korea as a National Surf Coach for the 2026 Asian Games. 🇰🇷

Three years ago, this was just an idea and an opportunity I hoped might one day become real.

Since then, I’ve spent a huge amount of time in Korea coaching at WavePark, working with Korean surfers, learning more about the surf community, and watching so many of the athletes develop year by year.

I’ve seen the good sessions, difficult sessions, competition results, setbacks, breakthroughs, and most importantly the growth in belief and performance.

To now have the opportunity to be part of Team Korea and help prepare the athletes for the Asian Games is something I’m extremely grateful for.

The focus now is simple help the athletes prepare as well as possible, support them with everything I can as a coach, and give Korea the best possible opportunity to win a medal.

Thankful for the opportunity and the trust that has been given to me. I’m also incredibly grateful to everyone who has believed in me, supported me, and helped me reach this point.

Proud to be part of Team Korea. 🇰🇷

The biggest win wasn’t trying harder.
It was trusting the speed, staying in rhythm, and letting the surfing flow.

Less is more.

Sunday Academy

Great turnout today with a strong group of surfers working through the Modern Performance system.

Today’s focus was:

🏄‍♂️ Backside
1️⃣ Bottom Turn → Straight Front Leg
2️⃣ Mid Wave → Stay Tall + Lead Hand
3️⃣ Top Turn → Stay Tall + Compression Timing

We also worked on connecting the MP points through the entire turn sequence rather than treating each turn as a separate movement.

The goal is simple:

Extension → Compression → Speed → Flow

Thanks everyone for coming and putting in the work today.

SURF BETTER. QUICKER.

Congratulations girls! 🏆 @twins.hinata
🥈 @twins.hinano

Shore Temple Classic Pro Junior in Mahabalipuram 🇮🇳
So stoked you called me straight after the final. After all the ups and downs over the last few months, this one feels pretty special.

Since Hamamatsu it’s been amazing watching you both grow as surfers. New skills, more belief, willingness to try new things and trusting the process even when it hasn’t been easy.

A win at any event is special. To win with your twin sister standing next to you in second makes it even better.

Another step towards the World Juniors.
Proud of you both. Keep going 👊 @ross.saiko.channel by @ross.saiko.channel
