Gather & Glide -

Stephanie Hatch

My beginner weekend with Gather & Glide was genuinely one of the best experiences of my life! I didn’t think I’d ever be able to surf, but Allanah and Mira were so helpful & encouraging, not only did they make it possible, they made sure I smashed it!

I left feeling full of confidence & sheer joy!

Awesome course with Amazing women in a non-judgmental & super supportive environment - I’ll be back! ?‍♀️

?Million percent recommend Gather & Glide!!!?Allan & Mira are awesome! Great but very different energies which complement each other so well. Tilda was our 3rd coach and was equally awesome! The small coaching group makes it a super connected weekend with other like-minded people. Even though the conditions were not ideal on our sessions (at the mercy of mother nature! ?), I learnt so much and got so much from it! The video analysis is super helpful. Had so much fun! Mira is serenity personified and Allan is comedy genius in a surf coach! Loved it! I will be back for more! Thank you so much! (Advanced 2-day weekend Sept 2024)

I love surfing with Allan and Mira. I always have so much fun! Their courses are excellent and I always feel like I progress so much with them! Their feedback is always useful and the video analysis gives you time to process what you need to do to improve. I would definitely always recommend these guys!

I had the best week on the Improver Plus course. I have learnt so much about surfing and my confidence has improved a lot. The theory and photo analysis have really helped to improve my surfing in a short time. Allannah and Sam are very experienced surf coaches and lots of fun! I cannot recommend this surf school enough

I attended the first weekend longboard session Alan and Sam put on together as Gather and Glide and it was the most beautiful weekend! There was a group of likeminded women that had come together for the course and it was a really supportive and fun atmosphere. Alan and Sam have so much experience teaching and it was so apparent, they were able to help us with every small technical detail thanks to the video analysis, and they were always so supportive and encouraging. I had had a surfing accident 6 weeks before the course and had a bit of wave fear, which they really helped me get over.
I could not recommend their courses enough (I am constantly shouting about them!) and with their tips to take forward to improve on, I am hoping to be back to do the L2 longboard course with them.

I attended both the improver weekend in 2023 and the full advanced week in 2024 with Gather & Glide after getting a recommendation from a friend. I spoke to them beforehand to double check the level was okay for me ? and they were so friendly and quick to reply.

Their local knowledge of the area is invaluable. Their courses are incredible value for money with surf, theory, skills, video and photography skillz, and stoke from dawn till dusk as long as you have any energy left! Their style of teaching is progressive and inclusive and most importantly SO MUCH FUN. I’m so excited to see what they do next and to be part of this growing community

I have been with Gather & Glide twice now and each time was absolutely fantastic. Mira and Allan are the best instructors I have ever had. It's so much fun to hang out and also meet new people. The groups are kept small so they can pay attention to everyone. It's really important to them to help you get better. There are theory lessons and also detailed video coaching and analysis. Most importantly they provide a safe space without any sort of pressure.

I recently attended a shortboard weekend with Gather and Glide, and it was fantastic. Allannah and Sam are so much fun, really encouraging, and expert coaches. They have zero egos and they create a brilliant no pressure fun learning environment. The video analysis and photo package was really useful to help us improve, and also a really nice memento. We even did a surf skate session which helped to drill in the muscle memory for movements before trying them in the water.

Overall the course was really well structured, the coaching was brilliant and I'd highly recommend!
