Have you ever missed a wave because your arms felt like noddles? Surfing is 10% riding and 90% paddling. The off-season is a great time to build arm strength, endurance and power.
Below is a quick pool work out designed to help your paddling endurance:
Warm Up:
15 minute swim mixing in various strokes.
Main Set (three times through):
1 x 200 yards at a comfortable pace (endurance).
4 x 50 yards at a faster pace (strength).
8 x 25 yards all out (power).
2 minutes rest after each time through.
