Surf Fitness Tips, Nutrition & Ocean Life
This is where I share everything I've learned about getting surf-fit and staying that way – from follow-along workouts and mobility routines to nutrition advice, recovery strategies, and the mindset side of surfing. Whether you're preparing for your next trip, looking for something to do on a rest day, or just want to feel better in the water, there's something here for you.
New articles and videos drop regularly. Most posts come with a follow-along video from my YouTube channel, so you can read the tips and then get straight into the workout.
Surf Warm-Up Routine Before Surfing – Quick Pre-Surf Activation for Better Sessions
The first few minutes before you paddle out often decide how your entire surf session feels. A targeted surf warm-up prepares your shoulders for paddling, your hips for the pop-up, and your mind for the water — so you're not wasting your best waves warming up out back.
This quick pre-surf activation routine takes under 10 minutes and works on the beach, in a car park, or at home before you drive to the break.
Looking for something more personal? I work with a small number of surfers through 1:1 coaching built on the WAVE Method.
