Stretching & Flexibility

Flexibility is often overlooked, but very underrated when it comes to surfing. Tight muscles will always increase the risk of injury for surfers. When you get beaten heavily by a wave, your body often gets tossed around and contorted into all different positions. When you have a strong and flexible body, you are better equipped to take these beatings and remain injury free.

Stretching is also important after surfing as it aids in muscle recovery, meaning you can get back out in the surf feeling refreshed & energized, not tired & sore.

Here are some example stretches from our program Total Surfing Fitness - Functional Training for Surfers. 

Hamstring Stretch
Hold for 20 - 30 seconds

Lower Back Stretch
Hold for 20 - 30 seconds
