FAQs
Who's the program for?
Anybody who values their physical fitness and wants to be a much better surfer, put simply. Suitable for all levels, ages and abilities.
Is training really necessary? I just love to surf!
In short, yes! If you really want to take your paddling fitness to the next level, you need to train on land. You need to follow a plan and do exercises that help you get stronger for paddling AND have proven their effectiveness time and time again - with MANY surfers!
What if I can't perform certain exercises or I find them too easy?
Every single exercise within the programme contains options for you to progress or regress accordingly. Think 'Pick n Mix'!
Do I have to have a gym membership?
Ideally, you would need a pull up bar, suspension trainer and some resistance bands (all inexpensive and worthwhile investments). However, alternative exercises can be provided by your coach in most cases.
How many sessions are there per week?
There are two home-based strength sessions per week, plus one fitness session (optional mode / location), in addition to optional recovery 'mini-sessions' that can be easily fit into your day.

"I was chasing waves where I wouldn't normally, I was paddling harder with the ability to pull myself and the board through the water with more intent. "

"I can already feel the benefits of stronger paddling, less niggles in my back and shoulders after long surf sessions and generally feeling more confident in the water."
