How Surfers Are Progressing

”
“Letting the board glide after pop-up, focusing on 1 thing to improve on in a session, board selection.”
Bruce A. 

(Jan. ‘25 Surf Camp)

”
“So much improvement - but I think the biggest area was understanding of the lineup & waves, and how to plan for success.”

“My biggest improvement over the 6 weeks was mental. Learning how to plan a session, read the forecast, and understand the break made a huge difference. I was able to catch more waves simply by being in the right spot, instead of wasting energy paddling around aimlessly. Having clear goals for each session and even for each wave might sound basic, but that small shift in mindset paid off in a big way.”

“It’s hard to pinpoint just one takeaway from this experience—there was so much growth on so many levels. But if I had to name a few standouts, I’d say this: I’m surfing more consciously now. I see things I didn’t used to see. And I trust myself more, both in the water and with my progression.”

Meet Your Coach

Stoked you're here! My name is Matt Pagan. I'm a former professional surfer from Los Angeles, CA. To be more specific, Westchester CA. I've surfed for over 20 years, professionally for 10 and competed on the WQS for 5 years before making transition to short surf films in and around CA with my brother - Mike Pagan. After surfing for legacy brands like RVCA, Body Glove, Lost Surfboards, Chilli Surfboards, etc., I wanted to step back in to the surf world and create my own version - PAGAN USA. The vision with PAGAN USA is not just to create a surf brand. It's to create a vibrant culture. A culture that teaches. One that creates high quality surfboards, clothing with intention and a community. The Under Construction Surf Club is a community based in Los Angeles, CA and the heartbeat of PAGAN USA. Growing up as a surfer in Los Angeles was difficult and wasn't easy to get consistent reps. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to surf different beaches at contests every weekend and work with some incredible coaches and mentors. The Under Construction Surf Club Program is a living and breathing program that is designed to help surfers get more reps, have more fun and to get better together and more efficiently. We hope you enjoy this series and this program. -Matt Founder, Pagan USA and Under Construction Surf Club
