No waves? Well you can always build them yourself (Part II)
Remember these guys? Guess what, these suburban boys got even more creative and found a new way of catching waves called tap surfing. Creativity : 10 out of 10.

Surfing Lesson number 2.1 - First of all, get fit... (Part II) - The Warm Up
In my last post I focused on how to get really ripped and fit for a surfing session. Many of you were really curious about the author of those videos. They were prepared by the fasterswimming team, a group of coaches that specializes in swimming and sport endurance. The following workouts should be done the following way.
First of all you should have some cardio. Run some miles but not at a too high level. It should be just enough to get you a bit sweaty. After that you should choose between one of these three warm up sessions, Ideally, you should choose a different warm up for every training day. Alternate.
Here is warm up session 1 (I have already posted it on my last post). This first warm up focuses on Mobility:
This second warm up video is a Body Weight Combo.
And finally, the third warm up, using a weight.

Surfing lesson number 2 - First of all, get fit...
How fit are you really? Before even considering to buy a surfboard or taking professional surfing lessons you should see how good is your overall fitness. In order to surf you should have some good athletic features and realize that only a healthy surfer is able to put up a great performance on the best waves avaiable. Forget the stoned lazy ass surfer stereotype. If you wanna surf you better get fit and quickly!
I found a very good bundle of athletic fat loss and body recomposition videos. They use a variety of methods and exercises that will improve your overall surfing ability. Check them here. They were designed by a swimming coach but they apply very well to surfing. I leave an example for you.
