Where are you leaking strength?
We are here to create a water tight, seafaring machine.
Real training includes finding every weakness and addressing it. Achieving balanced surf strength will protect the vital structures of the musculoskeletal system and boost performance. There will be many moments of encouragement, but rest assured these training programs are designed to focus on the compensations of the surfer. This is where trust is paramount. The vast majority of these movements will have you asking the simple question, “Why?”. It is likely that you’re already efficient with the obvious surf movements that you are eager to mimic during training. They will be addressed and improved, but elite training should deliver all the movements you’re not currently doing to complete a functional skill set. This is WHY surfers aren’t special, the same as any other athlete. Where are you leaking? Invest in training that fixes the problem. Precise training is hard and it damn well should be. Load up and accept it.
Phasing the Shred.
Sea Limbs.
Month 1: A fresh start requires maximum neurological stimulation of the brain and body. Dormant tissue and muscles repeating the same movements year round do not reach their full firing capacity. We are here to recruit every last nerve and muscle fiber possible to provide full command of your board.
Anchor.
Month 2: Doing bodyweight exercises without equipment, especially without the ability to load pulling movements will leave you floundering and frustrated in the line up. If you want to be stronger, you need to load the body. Bottom line. The anchor phase compresses your workload making each rep count.
Boost.
Month 3: Off the leash you go. We have recruited the tissue and strengthened it. Now it’s time to see its full potential. This power phase focuses on each rep reaching maximum speed with breath efficiency. This phase is not about burn, it’s about your ceiling of athleticism.
