Step Up Surf: Shores Program

Step Up Surf: Shores

Coach
Kevin Hofmockel

Surfing requires a unique mix of athletic abilities to master. Simply being agile or strong is not enough. This program is designed to increase strength, flexibility, and mobility to improve your surfing. In 6 weeks your movements in the water will become easier and sharper, and you will be able to surf longer and more often.

If you are an aspiring surfer having trouble with your popup or just overall paddle strength, this program will help you. If you are an existing surfer, and you want to maintain the muscles and mobility needed for everyday surfing, this program is also for you.

Flexibility
Surfing requires a significant amount of flexibility in the legs hips and spine. The shores program includes daily poses and movements that increase flexibility in the muscles and joints that are used most while surfing. This increases your ability to catch waves, and stay in the water. More waves more practice, and faster growth.
