Overcoming the Silent Shame of Being "That Surfer" Who Never Comes Out of the Barrel

How to Get Barreled… and Actually Come Out

A 4-Week Performance Intensive on How to Come Out of the Barrel

Learn how to come out of the barrel using neurological alignment training designed specifically for tube riding.

You’ve pulled into barrels before, you’ve felt the lip fold over, you’ve experienced that split second of perfection… And then you fall. Or you get clipped, you freeze. You drift too high, get sucked up the face. Or you simply just lose orientation.

You know you can get barreled. But you don’t consistently come out. And that’s frustrating.

Because deep down, you know it’s not courage. It’s not commitment. It’s not even positioning alone.

It’s something else.

The Barrel IS The Most Neurologically Demanding Place in Surfing.

Inside the tube:

  • Light changes instantly.

  • Your visual reference points disappear.

  • Peripheral vision compresses.

  • Sound increases.

  • The wave curves around you.

  • Your inner ear is under rotational stress.

  • Your balance system is challenged.

  • Your balance and visual inputs become mismatched.

  • Your brain goes into threat mode.

If your vestibular system (balance) and ocular system (vision) are not aligned and trained under pressure…

You will unconsciously lean toward the falling lip.

You will stiffen.
You will over-correct.
You will panic.

Most surfers think they’re falling in barrels because of technique.

Often, they’re falling because of neurology - poor; vision, balance and proprieoception.

And no one teaches that… until now.

Don't just take my word for it. Hear from my past students.

Who is Michael Frampton?

  • I spent years struggling to come out of the barrel, surfing five times a week without significant progress. After fixing my vision and balance, my surfing transformed. Now, I'm sharing these insights through the Barrel Mastery Academy

  • Once I finally aligned my visual, vestibular and proprioceptive systems, I progressed my tube riding in 4 weeks, more than I had in my previous 15 years!

  • Michael has coached surfers worldwide for over 20 years and blends biomechanics, performance training, and surf neurology to help surfers unlock breakthroughs. He hosts the Surf Mastery Podcast and has helped thousands refine their surfing mindset and movement.

And this is why I decided to launch: "Barrel Mastery Academy"
