California Winter: Surf’s up, are you in surf shape?

I love winter in California. I like crisp weather and consistent swell, and the fact that there are fewer people at the beach and in the water during wintertime. And the past couple weeks have been banner. Pumping swell with no signs of slowing. With more surf  in the forecast and with winter really just getting started, this is where it really pays off to be in surf shape. However, if your arms feel like noodles and your pop ups are a little slow, then now is the time to bust some workouts and get in shape. Because if you are fit for surfing you can focus on your cutback instead of your sore shoulders. Our surf workout videos can be performed in as short a time as ten minutes, or up to an hour. Check our store for a variety of DVDs. Or, check out our YouTube channel for heaps of great, free, surf fitness tips.

Keep fit and we’ll see you in the water.

TRX Training for Better Surf Performance

Coach Scott recently spoke with the folks over at TRX about how effective (and efficient) the TRX trainer is for surf training.

“The TRX is perfect for surfing because it’s such a bodyweight based dynamic movement sport,” Adams says, “practically every exercise is going to involve something that will benefit you, with either a core demand or an aligning of the body.”

Check out the full interview here.

The Endurance Conspiracy

Surf Stronger recently connected up with Mountain Timers Tony DeBoom and the Endurance Conspiracy.  An athlete owned company inspired by endurance sports and love for the environment, these guys have been making some great stuff out in in Colorado. Go check out their original design work and pick up a cool tee to help inspire some Fall training. Need another reason? They donate to good buddy Jack Johnson’s “All at Once” campaign and are fellow 1% for the Planet contributors. Marathon Man in yellow is one of our favorites.

Fun stuff, and as we used to say, Endurance is Insurance.

Stay healthy and we’ll see you in the water.

Come Hell or High Water Movie Review

Caught the Ventura premiere of “Come Hell or High Water” — the latest surf flick out of the Malloy  / Woodshed camp. The premiere was a wonderful gathering of south coast surfers and outdoor enthusiasts, taking in a night of live music, community, free beer, and of course the movie. It all went down in the parking lot of Patagonia HQ, under the stars on a brisk fall night.

The movie was better than I expected and had me engaged throughout. It is an hour plus film, beautifully shot on 16MM chronicling the world’s best bodysurfers as they take it to the best waves on the planet. Scenes from the Wedge, Teahupoo, Hawaii, NorCal and beyond will have you pining to get out into the big blue and kick into some of your own. In short, the film is both fun and inspiring. Kudos to Keith and the crew on a well made film.

For the Love of Surfboards

We are in the business of surf fitness. It’s a passion of ours, and creating and selling our programs so that surfers worldwide can be more fit, and enjoy the sport of surfing more is what we do. (We also give away lots of free programming on our YouTube channel, SurfStrongerTV.) Beyond training for surfing, and riding waves, we have a passion for surfboards. We thought we’d pause to reflect on some of our favorite boards out there today.

One of my favorite surfboards at the moment, is my 9′6″ Michel Junod log with 9″ Josh Farberow flex fin. I had an absolute blast surfing it in ultra glassy, waist to chest high surf at Leo Carrillo this weekend.

Surfing this past weekend, I admired a really nice log which turned out to be an Almond. Like Almond, all of our products are hand-made, right here in California. Check their tasty boards here.

We’ve talked about this guy a bit before, but we dig Ward Coffey shapes. Ward can shape anything, but we’ve gone to him for years for his high performance short boards.

What’s your favorite board?
