DIRECTORS

GARRETT

LANE

Since his youth in Western Australia, Garrett has dedicated his life to exploring & teaching movement through the medium of surfing. He knows first-hand how exciting, challenging and fulfilling this journey can be. He initially began his Surf Coaching with Surfing Australia in 2013 and has completed his Level 1 & Level 2 (Progression Surf Coach) Surfing Australia & ISA Accredited Programs.

Since that time and throughout Australia, France, Portugal and as one of the Directors & Founders of Talalla Surf & Yoga in  Sri Lanka he has worked with 1000's of individuals as a qualified Surf Coach & Physiotherapist helping guide their surfing experience & refining his techniques and strategies as a coach & trainer. 

Recognising there was a growing community of people coming to surfing for the first time in their 20's, 30's, 40's and beyond. As well as individuals from landlocked destinations & backgrounds where surfing everyday is just not possible, there was a need to create a clear and EVIDENCE BASED SYSTEM to allow people to progress their surfing at ANY AGE and even when SURFING WAS NOT POSSIBLE EVERYDAY. 

This passion led to the formation of SYM, this structured & evidence based approach for those amateur surfers who are looking to build confidence in their own surfing and enjoy a more fulfilling surfing experience overall. A system you can trust, it is the the foundation of our training & coaching practices in France, Portugal, Sri Lanka, 'Wave Garden' Technologies in Switzlerand & now online. 

JOE
KOENER

In 2016, at almost 30 years of age, Joe discovered surfing.

Despite the busy schedules of the modern world and being “Landlocked in Luxembourg" he has taken his passion for surfing and made a true commitment to his landlocked based training through SYM.

As a landlocked Surfer, he understands the desire to want to stay connected to surfing but feeling this is only possible through waves.
However he has a strong belief in laying down a clear path, setting the right goals for your level and keeping the bigger surfing goals in mind.

Through putting this into practice Joe has been able to stay connected to his passion & build confidence in his surfing despite only having a few 'wave filled' weeks per year. 

Coaching and practising Brazilian Jiu jitsu since 2012 Joe is a KORE & ATCC BJJ Brown Belt and as one of the owners & lead trainers of Delta Jiu Jitsu in Luxembourg.  He has been teaching this complex martial art to students from all walks of life and levels of experience.
 

With a passion for breaking down complex techniques into simple steps or warm-ups to adapt to the different physical attributes of each individual. It is this ability which has been the key to his success as a trainer in both BJJ & now surf trainer through the SYM methodology.
