The Late Start Legend
You started later in life and want to fast track your progress.
Or maybe this sounds familiar…
...you spend all week living for Saturday. Then you paddle out & feel like you're starting over, every single weekend. Just when you find your rhythm, it's Monday.
...you work out multiple times a week, but 30 minutes into paddling your arms are noodles & you're just watching everyone else catch waves.
...you see the set coming, paddle, & scramble to your feet half a second late, only to watch the wave roll right underneath you. Again.
...you wait months to get in the ocean, & after an hour your body is done long before you are.
Imagine…
...you spent all week at your desk & still paddled out on Saturday picking up right where you left off, not starting over
...your gym strength finally showed up in the water, & your arms were the last thing to give out.
...you finally got to the ocean & surfed for hours, because you trained for it on land.
...your pop up felt automatic, so you landed low & balanced instead of scrambling.
That’s not a fantasy. That’s 16 weeks away.
What the ladies are saying
-
"For the first time I actually felt capable on a smaller board."
“My paddling endurance improved, my pop ups felt stronger and more explosive, and for the first time I actually felt capable on a smaller board.
Kat really understood surfing and how to train for it in a functional way, but she also cared about me as a whole person. She supported me through nutrition struggles, and the mental side of confidence and body image.”
- Emma, BC -
"Getting back into the surf after 6 months off, I was able to catch every wave I paddled for, and my pop-ups felt like butter. "
“And all this in a brand new, thicker winter wetsuit! I couldn’t be happier.
Spending the winter working on my strength and pop-up form had a huge payoff.”
- Elysa, NHe

"Kat is incredibly knowledgeable as both a trainer and a surfer, so being able to combine the two gave me exactly the training I was looking for."
“I struggled with paddle strength. I was already physically fit from years of gym training, so it was frustrating not seeing that strength translate to the water.
I went from feeling gassed around the 90-minute mark of a 2-hour lesson to lasting the full session feeling strong and confident.”
- Denise, CA
-
"It’s felt like I was on a learning fast track!"
“My pop-ups became automatic. My hips are so much more flexible now so my legs don’t get stuck under me anymore, and they are quick! I also land in a better stance which has helped me feel more balanced in the water.”
- Yulia, CA
-
"I lost 20lbs without ever feeling like I was restricting myself"
“I never felt like I couldn’t eat my favorite foods and fueling my body always came first.
I’m surfing for longer than ever, and for the first time ever I can feel my glutes which I never could before!”- Meagan, NY
-
"Kat’s programming has helped me achieve better paddling, balance and pop-ups. and as a bonus, has carried over into my skating too!"
“I always felt like I could say anything, show up as myself, and just be completely honest. That kind of coaching relationship makes a huge difference in output and mentality.”
- Dyan, WA
Hey, I’m Kat!
I'm a surfer first, and a coach because I got tired of watching my gym fitness fail me in the water. I've lived landlocked more than once, so I had to learn how to build real surf fitness on land.
My approach pulls from more than just a personal training certification. My dad was a chiropractor, so I grew up around bodies and how they move. I have a BSc in neuropsychology, so I think a lot about how your brain learns movement and builds new behaviors. All of my training is science-backed and built around how you actually learn to surf.
I'm passionate about longevity because I felt my own body break down. I've dealt with back and shoulder issues, so I know what it's like to want to surf more than your body will let you.
Most importantly, I believe surfing is more than a sport. It's a third space that gives us a purpose, an identity, and a community outside of work and family. Training for it on land lets you bring the childlike joy and lightness you feel in the water into your everyday life.
