What a surfer needs:
Mobility
Mobility is essential to handle the stress the joints are exposed to while you surf. The overuse of certain muscles result in imbalances of the shoulders and hips.
Mobilizing those areas is crucial to maintain body alignment.
Strength Work
Single-leg exercises are key to improve balance and stability on the board.
Strength is also essential in increasing power for maneuvers like turns, carves and jumps.
Power & Endurance
Increase your work capacity and endurance with plyometrics and cardio. Working on power and explosiveness will improve your performance.
To be a better surfer you need strength for heavy paddling but also endurance to maintain your stamina.
Core
Core stability is crucial for paddling, popping-up and riding the waves. It will improve your body control and also protects your lower back from injuries.
Building a surf proof body
To be able to spend more time in the water during a surf session and to practice this amazing and challenging sport for many years you need to do some extra work beside surfing. With mobility training you can reduce the risk of injuries and maintain the range of motion of your joints. Increasing your strength and power will allow you to surf at your full potential.
