"I learnt not to be scared of the surf when I am at nippers"
 The inspirational team of Trevor Hendy, Karla Gilbert, Phil Clayton and David Simons have come together to deliver a program based on their training and experience that has led to 8 world championships, over 50 Australian Surf Titles and a combined 33 years at the top of competitive surf life saving in Australia and the world.The program, 2 years in the planning, was designed to pass on the knowledge and unique techniques that took these superstars of the sport to the top. The program also introduces the ElementX.  The element that makes something special happen.  They say you can't teach this, but the champions believe it is already in all of us, we just need a little fun, a little help and of course, the key elements of nature, which the program activities have been created around:

Water - the ocean and your emotion

Earth - the sand and your grit

Air - the wind and your ability to breathe it in

Fire -the sun and your burning desire

 As far as training goes, the former world champions draw from their own experience, having been coached by some of the world's best coaches and teachers in varying disciplines.  With a lot of emphasis on visualisation, breath control, creativity, decisive action  and simply getting out there and doing it, this is a truly unique day working on the mind and the body. It's an action packed program that leaves the kids with increased fitness, teamwork, advanced training techniques and knowledge of their own strengths and what works for them.

The team has thrown the best they have together in one 6 hour package.  For the kids, they hope that this is life changing.

"The program is designed to inspire, enlighten and unleash everyone involved, and all you need to participate is your swimmers and a great attitude" says Trevor.  "The combination of Karla, Phil and myself is unique.  We have each brought something special to the table and together make a powerful team.  We share a common passion for life and what it has to offer and a belief that anything is possible."

Since leaving the competitive arena the three superstars have embarked competitively into other sports and coached other athletes to success. You could say they have truly walked the walk.   They have a refreshing and entertaining way of delivering the program and they certainly lead by example.
