Practicing from Home

Author: Surfs-Up August 21, 2009

surfboardBeginners often struggle their first few times surfing because they lack the necessary balance to stand up on their boards. Luckily it’s possible to practice and hone those balancing skills at home. Try using a stability ball to replicate the experience of balancing on a surfboard that’s in motion. Begin by perching atop the ball on your knees for a few seconds. Then move to one knee and one foot.

It’s also crucial for new surfers to develop core and lower-body strength. These objectives can also be achieved on a balance ball. First, sit upright with your abs flexed. Begin marching forward slowly with the ball beneath you, lifting each foot alternately. Raise your knees as high as possible and continue this exercise for a few minutes. These and other similar drills can offer newbie surfers some vital experience when they can’t make it to the beach.
