Overcoming the Silent Shame of Being "That Surfer" Who Misses Waves
FINALLY, A Formula To Effortlessly Catch Waves, In Weeks - Not Years, Without Feeling Like A Kook - Guaranteed
Let’s be honest — nothing feels worse than sitting in the lineup, watching everyone else catch wave after wave while you’re stuck paddling in frustration. Whether you wipe out, miss the timing, or just can’t seem to get the right positioning, it’s enough to make you question if surfing is really for you.
But here’s the truth: it’s not your fault. Most surfers are never taught the simple, proven techniques that make catching waves second nature.

Don’t wait for this! The Surf Mastery Method Mini Course is available now.
If you keep practicing surfing the way you are now then you will never reach the next level.
Surfing is freedom, its art. The problem with surfing is there is no regulatory board, there is no standardised technique that coaches adhere to, and most surf coaches were self-taught, they learnt the hard way and they don't have a modern methodology for teaching beginners - they just have tricks to get you standing up on a soft-top in the whitewater.
If you continue to surf with bad habits then you will never get to experience what it is like to be at one with the ocean, to dance on a wave with grace and you will NEVER get barreled - the ultimate experience in surfing. You will never feel confident to join your friends on a surf trip to Indonesia, the Maldives or Mexico.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. The frustration of missing waves, wiping out, or feeling out of place in the lineup isn’t your fault—it’s a result of never being taught the simple, proven techniques that make paddling, popping up, and riding waves almost automatic. With the right guidance, you could transform your surfing in as little as 14 days and finally feel confident in.
Don't just take my word for it. Hear from my past students.

Who is Michael Frampton?
I spent years struggling to catch the wave I wanted, surfing five times a week without significant progress. After learning the right techniques, my surfing transformed in just one year. Now, I'm sharing these insights through the Wave Catching Academy
I had a "surf lesson" when I was 17 and picked bad habits that stuck with me for 15 years. I didn't realize it at the time but by NOT learning the fundamentals at the beginning of my surfing journey, my progression was hindered ten-fold.
Once I finally got some lessons from a proper surf coach, I progressed my surfing in 1 year, more than I had in my previous 15 years!
Since that first real surf lesson, I have had many more from a range of different coaches from around the world and I shared a lot of these lessons via my podcast The Surf Mastery Podcast - a podcast that was inspired by my first surf coaching session, and led me on the journey of Surf Mastery.
And this is why I decided to launch my program: "Wave Catching Academy"
