Power Surf Online Course

Improve Your Surfing Even When You’re Out of the Water

The Power Surf Rail Game

A structured online surf coaching program created by Rodrigo Machado to help intermediate surfers understand the biomechanics behind better surfing — and train those movements before taking them into the ocean.

Instead of simply watching surf tutorials and trying to imitate maneuvers, Rail Game breaks down how your body, weight transfer and rails work together to generate speed, control, flow and power.

What You’ll Learn

1

Build a Stronger Surfing StanceLearn the Gorilla Stance — the compressed, dynamic body position that creates stability, control and power through your turns.

2

Understand Rail-to-Rail SurfingLearn how to properly engage your heel-side and toe-side rails, transfer your weight and use your whole body through a maneuver.

The objective: surf with more speed, flow and pressure instead of forcing turns with your arms and legs.

3

Develop Muscle Memory on LandUse structured surfskate and dry-land exercises to repeat surfing movements outside the water.

The training sessions can be done in around 15–25 minutes, making the program particularly useful if you can’t surf every day.

Who Is It For?

Rail Game is primarily designed for intermediate surfers who already catch and surf waves independently but feel their progression has stalled.

It can be particularly useful if:

You’ve been surfing for years but keep repeating the same mistakes
Your turns lack speed, power or flow
You struggle to understand weight transfer and rail engagement
You only surf on weekends or don’t have consistent access to waves
You want a structured way to train between surf sessions
You want to understand why a maneuver works rather than simply imitate it

The Rail Game method can be practiced without previous surfskate experience and can be applied across different types of surfboards.

Train Better. Surf Better.

You don’t necessarily need more hours in the ocean.

Sometimes you need to better understand the movements you’re trying to repeat.

Rail Game gives you a structured way to study them, practice them on land and gradually transfer them into your surfing.
