Surf Stronger Fitness & Performance Camp Recap

UPDATE: Special one-day camp in Manhattan Beach, November 21, 2009. Click here for details.

Finally digging out from the awesome weekend that was the Surf Stronger Fitness & Performance Camp, Santa Barbara (September 18-20, 2009). The weekend was a terrific mix of surf-specific workouts, TRX, yoga, surf coaching, video and photo analysis, organic meals, and stand up paddling. An action packed, fun and valuable weekend for those looking to improve their surf fitness and performance! In addition everyone seemed to really enjoy meeting new people and hanging in beautiful SB.

First we’d like to thank Santa Barbara for delivering the goods — we had fun surf all weekend long, and really great weather (foggy, cool mornings giving way to stellar afternoons and evenings. It was perfect for working out, dining under the stars and circling the camp fire. Second, thanks to all the guests who came for the weekend and made the camp so special. We had surfers from as far away as New Jersey, Colorado and San Francisco, as well as SB. Finally, a shout-out to the companies that supported the event with their wonderful products: Patagonia, Fitness Anywhere, The Craft-SF, Silvergreens, Guayaki Yerba Mate, Paul Mitchell, Earth Essentials, Santa Barbara Roasting Company, and Channel Islands Surf Boards.

We’ve received a lot of inquiries about future camps and are hard at work putting together a couple in October and November in Southern California, and a more complete calendar for 2010. If you are interested in attending a camp, or want more info, drop us a line, info@surfstronger.com. We’d love to hear from you.

Stay healthy and see you in the water,
Scott, Todd & Holly
