Surf Survival/Ocean Resilience
Surfing is one of the world’s most extreme water sports. The level of activity can vary from calm, slow, easy surfs to explosive, fast and extreme experiences.
It doesn’t matter what level of surfer you are, or the size of waves you ride, with this course regardless of the type of surfer you are, you will benefit from learning how to increase your lung capacity and core strength.
You will learn to not only relax your mind and body, but also the right techniques to help you maximize your apnea time (breath-hold) as well as learning to control your diaphragm. All exercises will lead in the lung run to a fitter body/mind preparing you for those breath-holding experiences during wipeouts. All of this will result on allowing you to surf bigger more challenging waves and/or becoming a more confident surfer.
Simply a must try!
I’ve been surfing my whole life, but this was the first time I tried any breath holding training. The exercises were damn hard and I learned lots about my lung capacity and mind power. I def feel ready to take on bigger waves with confidence.
