MONTHLY zRAX WINNER!

Tim as you can see from my photo I am desperate for a racking system. I live at Middleton SA, the home of SA Longboards, and my mates continually pay me out over it. If I had the Zrax stacking system I would be the envy of the coast.
I see from your site that you give one away a month, I am hoping I will be the lucky winner for the month.
Cheers
Rick
Congratulations Rick.... the zRAX are in the mail..Keep the photos coming team and win yourself a rack!

Hi Tim,
Hope you are well and you had an awesome barrel trip after we got off the boat.Thanks for your excellent coaching and tips during our trip in the Maldives – it was invaluable and my surfing and confidence has definitely improved.
Your Zrax are fantastic and are currently holding two of my boards at home.It was great to meet you and I will be in touch when we are next in Noosa for a holiday.
Cheers,
Rich

Hey Tim,

Just wanted to drop you a line and say how great the ZRAX is! I picked up one of them yesterday from Goodtime surf shop and went straight home and fitted it in my room. Man it was easy and looks great with my mal and mini mal hanging on the wall. Unreal product that does exactly what it say it will, well done!!

Kind Regards,

Linden Forbes

Liquid MotoCross!

Liquid MotoCross!
When the wind gets strong and the waves aren't getting into the Noosa points, I love to kitesurf this stretch from Coolum to Sunshine Beach with my friends.
If you haven't done it before, then the best way to describe it is like Liquid Motocross... skill, adrenalin and speed like no other water sport.
If you're a surfer then it is all about learning the kite skills, 6 months of flat water training then you will have waves on tap and a great cross training program. I recommend it!

Weekend coaching on North Shore...

Here's a glimpse of the action over the weekend. Some of my good friends and clients booked in a coaching session, at first i was sceptical as to the wave situation but as always we ended up with the goods. Fun waves and good times. Thanks boys and see you again soon...

Tube Clinic with Professional surf coach, Tim Mitchell...

The Tube Clinic
Where. Maldives, Noosa and the Mentawais

- Don’t worry. This is not like school. If you want to just surf all day long that’s fine. But in between sessions, we do have a structured, step-by-step program that you can participate in if you want to get off the shoulder and go deeper. You will receive a personal and detailed coaching booklet, photos of you to take home and in some cases, a DVD of the overall trip. Trip numbers are limited. And don’t worry – our coaching is personalized to your personal level of ability and comfort zone. It’s all about you and what you want to achieve out of it.

You should expect to learn how to:-

- Take off later, steeper, bigger and deeper – which is the real key to getting barreled
- Increase your relaxation and breath holding underwater
- Better read subtleties in tubing waves and line-ups
- Pull-in using varied approaches according to the situation
- Tweak your stance to suit your body’s natural shape and elasticity
- Understand why you are falling off in critical moments and how to remedy that
- Choose the right line according to wave type
- Master the pig-dog stance for backside kegs
- Increase your mental confidence and positive self talk
- Exit or fall safely in heavy situations to avoid injury
- See what you are doing right or wrong using photo and video evidence then plot a course for mastery of new skills
- Set a path for long-term improvement – this is just the beginning of your new life as a budding, barrel zen-master!
If you are interested in the tube trips..get in touch and we can make it happen. tim@zrax.com
