Anything, regiments, stretching, etc, would be greatly appricated.

Answer 1

There are conditioning drills that specifically help surfing.  There are also yoga drills that help.  I wrote an article you can read on the web that covers most of it.

Answer 2

Push ups and swimming are the best things I know of.  Balance drills are good, yoga is great for flexibility and strength.

I kayak or climb when I'm not surfing so it all fits in together with core strength and stamina.
