About Surfing
Surfing is a full-body workout that combines paddling (which builds upper body and cardiovascular endurance), popping up (which requires explosive core and arm strength), and riding waves (which develops balance and leg strength). Most of a surfing session is spent paddling, which provides sustained cardiovascular exercise. Riding waves engages the entire body in a dynamic balance challenge. Surfing also provides the mental health benefits of ocean immersion and connection with nature.
