Question

Alright, well i just started surfing about 5-6 months ago when i moved to California. I am actually pretty good. I my first competion i got 4th, the second competition i got 3rd. Oh, i am a girl longboarder, and i ride a 7'7 board. i cant get to the beach EVERYday, but i go at least 4-5 times a week. Does anybody have anytips on how i can improve my surfing or any excersises that i can do that imitate surfing at home??

Answer 1

Including the burpees and the indo-board you can also other things you can find at home like do crouch to stand while standing on a ball to enhance your balance and get your feet stronger or swimming.

Answer 2

Skateboard in parks, especially bowls.  The feeling of pumping a bowl is super similar to moving on the face of the wave.  To stay in shape I recomend swimming mostly, I also do some simple core strengthening.  I met the guy that did all the filming for this movie http://www.surfstronger.com/ and he hooked me up with a copy.  Its really good.  I surf about 4-5 days a week too, and if I skip a day of workout, I seriously regret it.

Answer 3

you can do burpees to practice your pop up, that's where u lay on the ground and pretend your on a board and just pop up the same way you would normally. that's what i do i do about 35-40 a night. its good practice for me at least. hope it works out for u. also the indo board is great practice too.
