about

Chad Bonsack has over 15 years of pro judging experience.  His coaching integrates technique with heat strategies to produce well rounded, consistent results. Chad Bonsack has been surfing for 30 yrs. Started surfing contest at 14yrs old won the first contest he was in ESA after that he was hooked to contest for the next 10 yrs placed 1rst in Treasure coast placed 9th in the US Championsips in his division.While surfing pro-am contest with good results he was also judging a lot of amatuer contest .He soon started to judging Pro-Am contest and he was quickly asked become a head judge. As a head judge I realized a lot of surfers could use help on knowing the judging criteria between power surfing vs aerial surfing. As a coach video analysis is a powerful tool in teaching  a surfer to land critical maneuvers as well as ofensive and defensive surfing in order to win a heat.
