Surf Talk Guru

When big winter storms hit the coast for days upon end and you can’t get out to the waves, you can have a tendency to laze around and pine for surf. But if you’ve been lazing around wishing, you won’t be ready for the return of post-storm 4-star surf. Make sure to stay in shape for when the waves shape back up.

Probably most importantly, keep up your cardiovascular condition by either running or swimming. Some people don’t mind running in the rain, but luckily, you can also do this around the gym track or on the treadmill. Swimming is good practice for chasing after your board and swimming back up to the top after a big slab pushes you down. You can keep your arms and chest in paddling shape by simply paddling your longboard around in the river, bay, or lake. You can keep your body in balance with a Balance Board, something you can do indoors anytime.
