You wanna workout? Go surf. You wanna improve your surfing? Go surf. You wanna get stronger? GO SURF. But things are different today. Most pro surfers will train, outside of the water, in order to enhance their game in the water.

How to train like a pro surfer!
I start my sessions with some flexibility, mobility & core activation drills.
Today I did:
Single leg power glute bridge w/ chest press:
3 x 5r w/ 20kg each dumbbell
Hip thrust:
8 x 100kg
3x 6r 140kg
Trap bar squat
3 x 5r 90kg
Squat jump
4 x 5r 10kg each dumbbell
Core strength
3 x 8 rotations each side w/10kg slam ball
And I finished w/ barbell row
5 x 10r 50kg
So, you wanna get better at surfing? Go surf…hit the gym. (And then go surfing.)
