Pun intended. And everything else in Blackball's Film School program is intentional too. Ex-CT Luke Stedman not only breaks down your surfing, but also prescribes a training path to elevate it.
Our writer came in a skeptic and left a believer. The coaching was clear, specific, generous. No theater. Just mechanics that show up in the water.
From our Blackball review · June 2026 →Your Instagram coach doesn't know you, and their “5 Steps to a Better Wrap” guidance isn't going to miraculously deliver either. But if you're up for staring at your own surfing and adding some land training, Blackball's got you.
Film School, start to finish.
Send in your video. A few waves from your phone or a GoPro, from any session you've got. Pool or ocean, it doesn't matter.
Luke breaks it down frame by frame. Split-screen against the surfing you're chasing, annotations on every key moment, and a straight read on what's working and what's holding you back.
Luke maps your training from what the footage showed: the specific Blackball movements and drills that target your gaps. Land work matched to your surfing, side by side, so you can see the connection. Not a generic plan.
