Your coach.
Daniel Schudt is a massage therapist, FRC® mobility coach, and yoga instructor from Germany who has worked with local and visiting (landlocked) surfers on Portugal's coast for almost two decades. Through this experience, he has developed a deep understanding of the common weaknesses and mobility restrictions that contribute to surf-related injuries, stiffness, and pain. As a passionate surfer in his fifties, he is driven by a continual desire to research, refine, and create highly effective training sequences designed specifically for surfers.
"You like to take a leap towards moving more freely? I am keen to support you! Living the stoke and paddling out painfree at age 70+ is the goal! Just 5% more mobility make a huge difference, and you will feel amazing too"
The work presented on this website is inspired by a life-long dedication to sports and athleticism - informed by many years of experience as a massage therapist, surfer & yoga- and mobility instructor. Learn more about Daniel´s background here.
