THE TRAINING STOPS ME PANICKING IN THOSE PRESSURE MOMENTS. “In big wave surfing if you panic in the ocean you might die, so I started BET to help lessen my anxiety, destress & maintain a more relaxed composure in this terrifying environment. In reality the training actually helps in all environments where you experience fear, anxiety, stress & burnout. Nam practices what he preaches. Pure Authenticity. There is nothing more important than that in those that you learn from. The training stops me panicking in those pressure moments. So thank you for helping me stay alive brother.”

THE UNCOMFORTABLE BECOMES EXCITING “I was introduced to Nam through some top athlete friends who were working with him to improve their confidence in big waves with breathing techniques. Low in confidence in heavier surf, I thought I’d give it a try. Nam’s ability to help me connect my thought patterns and energy into the right places during training helped when I’m competing; the uncomfortable becomes exciting. I’ve learnt so much and I apply it to many areas of my life. I can truly thank him for helping me achieve many world titles and my tour success.”

IN HIGH PRESSURE SITUATIONS I MADE VERY CLEAR DECISIONS VERY QUICKLY “Doing the Breath Enhancement Training really opened my eyes. Being a professional surfer it is essential that you are able to hold your breath, especially in big wave situations. I achieved this and so much more. I felt a greater use of my breath whilst active, felt stronger in myself and learnt to clear my mind. In high pressure situations I felt I made very clear decisions very quickly. I recommend this type of work & Nam to anyone willing to try. I am extremely pleased with the result that I got out of.”

MORE CONTROL OVER MY BODY "I think that Nam’s training system is amazing! I felt I had so much more control over my body after just 2 sessions and I felt a lot calmer too, and it is fun at the same time.”

WHEN UNDER PRESSURE & BEING HELD DOWN, THE TRAINING HELPS YOU STAY CALM “B.E.T has definitely helped build my confidence when surfing large waves. The training expands your lung capacity, this helps you take deeper breaths & therefore helps withstand some pressures of big wipe-outs. When under pressure & being held down, the training helps you stay calmer & that buys you time. It’s also good for your head & mind set.”

MY FITNESS IMPROVED SO FAST! "Whilst working in the Surfing Australia High Performance Camps it became clear that the B.E.T program was a huge benefit to all. It enhances the grommets thought processes & competition performance accordingly. Personally, doing a 6-week program gave me great confidence & mind control which has in the past been a deciding factor of how well I surf, particularly in the bigger waves. PLUS my fitness improved SO fast!"

A HUGE BENEFIT FOR BIG WAVE SURFING AND INCREASING CONFIDENCE IN THE WATER "I recommend this training to anyone wanting to surf bigger and better - it's a MUST!! I found this training to be a huge benefit for both big wave surfing and increasing ability and confidence in the water.”

THE WORK I DO WITH NAM HAS REALLY COMPLEMENTED ALL OF MY OTHER TRAINING "The work I do with Nam has really complemented all of my other training & educated me on a very important aspect of it all - BREATHING. The underwater training is almost like a meditational experience & helps eliminating any stress. On top of that I get the benefits of feeling comfortable in places like Hawaii, Tahiti & Tasmania because I know I am ready for any solid hold downs I am dealt with. Nam has such a great understanding of the body & not only trains people but educates them along the way through the unique delivery of his knowledge."

I WOULD NOT BE NEARLY AS CONFIDENT SURFING BIG HAWAII WITH OUT BET "The training program is the absolute key to surfing big waves in Hawaii. The training team really cares about their athletes and it shows in the delivery of the courses. I would not be nearly as confident surfing big Hawaii with out. It not only enhances your breath hold but also your all round fitness and confidence."

GUESS WHAT? I MADE THE FINAL OF THE TRIALS! “I ended up going to Tahiti & guess what? I made the final of the trials! In between each heat I was going back to the boat & practising. Helped me so much not wasting energy or time on distracting thoughts. I put together 5 really enjoyable heats & I felt like it was a gift to use as a platform for what you'd taught me. I'm now in Europe for 3 WQS events and will apply the same recipes & make decisions based on my values to ensure I'm calling the shots feeling my true north & what makes me feel alive!”

PROFESSIONAL AND COMPLETELY ENGAGING. Thanks for the great session today! It was professional and completely engaging. My aim was to build confidence in challenging surf, and with practice I’m sure that will happen. Amazingly, by the end, I also recaptured a feeling of ease underwater that I haven’t had in years. It reminded me of why, as a kid, I was attracted to that world in the first place. Awesome- thanks again!

ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE THINGS I’VE EVER DONE. Thank you so much for the session. I learned SO much and can’t wait to get into the training program! I honestly think it’s perfect - it was super challenging but accessible and one of the most valuable things I’ve ever done. It is so empowering to have the techniques and training program to help overcome the biggest hurdle in my surfing. I had such high expectations from everything I’d read about the session and it was all I’d hoped for and more!

SURPASSED ALL OF OUR EXPECTATIONS I just wanted to extend a huge thank you for the course yesterday. All four of us (Sam, Floyd, Dom and I) had an awesome time and it really surpassed all of our expectations. I definitely came away feeling so much more educated, confident and relaxed with this element of my surfing - something that has been holding me back.

GOT SOME GREAT RIDES AND THE SIZE DIDN’T WORRY ME. Over the weekend I had the first proper opportunity to test out some of the BET techniques from the intro session late last year. The difference is amazing. Felt relaxed and confident in conditions that would have been very challenging 6 months ago. Copped some nice clean up sets on the head, snapped a leggie and went over the falls a couple of times – still a kook, but got some great rides and the size didn’t worry me.
