Full Body Movements

Surfing is a highly dynamic sport which demands body movement in three dimensional space, so you need to train your body to become strong and efficient in motion, not in isolation.

Dumbbell curls and calf raises are not going to benefit your surfing.

For quality surf training, you want to use full body movements that require integration of muscles and develop full body strength:

Kettlebell Swings
Back Squats or Front Squats
Dead Lifts
Single Leg Dead Lifts
Lunges and Multi-directional Lunges
Plyometric Hops
Single Arm Cable Pushes and Pulls
Overhead Presses and Single Arm Overhead Presses

BALANCE DRILLS:

Single Leg Balance Drills such as hopping, closed eye balance while standing on a pillow, or upper body rotations;

Single Leg Balance with upper body medicine ball tosses
Single Leg Cable Push or Pulls
Exercises on top of a Balance Board or Indo Board
