Southern California Surf Fitness

What surfers are doing in the gym and why surf-specific training has become a category

The Training Culture

The surf fitness training culture in Southern California has evolved from the casual paddle training that previous generations treated as sufficient to the specific gym and movement training that the current generation of high-performance surfers pursues. The training models borrowed from the wider sports science world -- strength and conditioning, flexibility and mobility, breath work for ocean safety -- have been adapted to the specific physical demands of surfing.

The Specific Demands

The specific physical demands that surf training is designed for: the paddle endurance that getting through the break requires; the explosive hip rotation that pop-up and turn mechanics involve; the shoulder stability that repetitive paddling requires over long sessions; and the breath-holding capacity that wipeout situations produce the need for. Each demand maps to specific training interventions.

Surf LA Coverage

Surfing LA covers surf fitness because the physical preparation for surfing is the dimension of surf performance that is most directly improvable by information, and because the specific training approaches that actually help differ from the general fitness advice that most surfers apply to their specific needs.
