Surf Shape Method

I quite often see beginner surfers, on longboards or foam boards trying to pump there board to produce speed.

This is a very challenging way to start your surf journey, you will never truly feel connection with the wave when you continuously flail your body around trying to push your board faster.

Instead, slow down your approach by setting your line when you pop up. Hold the rail in the wave face. Allow the wave to push you down the line while you gently push harder into the wave face creating this effortless movement that maximizes your time in the green section.

It is only then when you are ready to start attempting maneuvers, speed is the aim of the game. Control your speed, control the wave.

Keep this one in your back pocket, it’ll be handy sometime in this surf journey of yours. Stay stoked out there!

ARE YOU READY?💥

No matter what you’re good at, it came from repetitive movement. The more we explore and experience the more we understand internally the task at hand.

Repetition teaches the body what to do under tension, utilizing muscle memory to get you to your feet.

So let’s do this. 💥

I challenge you to 10 pop ups per day, for 1 week! On the days you surf and the days you don’t. Take videos of your pop up on each day, analyze and reflect. (Use ‘s reels for reference) Guaranteed you’ll enjoy the progression moving forward!

If you follow this each day, at the end of the week, send in your videos and I will analyze your pop up for FREE! 2022 is almost finished, may as well start your 2023 now.

How well do you know the ocean..

The more you understand about surfing, the quicker your reach your goals.

Hope you enjoy! 🤙

REMEMBER

Progression is a gradual approach.

Great things take time.

Trust the process!

Paddle efficiently to create strength.

Without an efficient paddle we activate the wrong muscles.

This leads to muscle soreness in all the wrong areas.

These beginner paddle tips are bringing you 1 step closer to an efficient paddle stroke.

THIS OR THAT?

Which 5 best suit you??

Maybe they change weekly?

All good.

There’s no right or wrong.

This symbolizes who you are as a surfer. What you crave from your passion.

Follow your 5 in the water and you succeed as a surfer! 🤙

How do you get better at anything in life?

Put in the reps, of course.

But surfing can make that challenging with all the important decisions in front of your progression.

Don’t be shy, ask away.

❗️ The Art of Stability ❗️

displaying a powerful and uncomfortable isometric hold.

Increasing shoulder stability
Increasing ankle stability
Increasing hip mobility and stability
Developing thoracic rotation
Developing core control

Longer the position is held the more knowledge the body will have!

VIBIN ..

🙌 That feeling..

🔥 Reaching goals..

🌊 Pure bliss..

🙂 Hire a coach.

PADDLE POSTURE

More often then not when a surfer is exhausted it comes down to technique, not strength.

The finesse in your paddle will create a strong stroke, utilizing less energy.

It all starts with the above photo, your posture …

Arch in the spine
Scapula retracted
Glutes engaged

Paddle in this position and let me know how you feel!

Group fitness = Motivation

If you haven’t been to a class at I highly recommend it.

Great way to balance out your training!

HIRE A COACH 👌

BOARD TRANSITION

Epic session with helping her transition to a short board!

It can be quite the challenge without instruction, very easy to develop bad habits leaving you wondering if you have the right equipment or maybe even that you may not have the skill, which is often not the case.

The confidence I saw in Yolane after this session was remarkable, confidence is key. Enjoy the moment, take everything by feel and results will follow.

Next step, we hit the gym and continue our surf focussed training. Improving balance, muscle stability and agility!

KIRRA BARRELS

This has always been a memorable photo to me, quick capture of my man charging an epic swell.

The shade from the sun, the unfiltered colours, not to mention the fact there was 10 more barrels coming for him afterwards.

Stay low, go fast everyone.
