How To Get Fit For The Surf Season
Surfacing as an easy sport, right, you just stand on surfboards and let the waves do all then work, right? Wrong, surfing is an incredibly difficult sport to master, not just because of the tricky techniques you need to master, but also because of the supreme levels of fitness you need not only to steer the board, but to stay on the thing. Not least because you don't just need cardio endurance but also strength, stablity and stamina.
So how can you best improve your overall fitness to hone your surfing skills? Well the number one answer is obviously, surfing, but aside from that there are exercises you can do in the gym and at home to make sure you stay on top if your game and catch that killer wave when the opportunity arises. First of all, make sure you do some cardio vascular activity at least daily, that is anything which gets the heart beating and makes you sweat for an extended period of time power walking, jogging, sprints, biking, whatever you fancy.
Balance is key in surfing so ensuring that you have strong, table legs that support your upper body is half the battle, this means lifting heavy weights intensely doing such lifts as split-squats, Romanian deadlifts and leg extensions flip flops when you do them, Roxy clothing however is fine! A strong core is required because it allows you transmit force efficiently between the upper and lower body!
Since balance is a key part of staying on the surfboard, using Bosu balls and instable surfaces when doing resistance training will add to your repertoire of attributes when you next hit the waves. Getting fit for that killer wave isn't brain surgery, you just need to want to succeed! As with any sport, you will get out what you put and all those hours toiling awway in the gym will pay off by giving you an edge over the competition.
