The SUS: Shores Basic Beginner program is a great jump start program for anyone who is trying to break into surfing and has not previously exercised for surfing. It is also perfect for those who have not surfed in a while and are trying to get back into it.
Anyone who is trying to build up the strength, mobility, and flexibility to surf should benefit from this program. If you are a once-a-week surfer who already does exercise with surfing in mind, then the intermediate program is probably better suited.
