Use this quick Surf RAMP (readiness and movement prep) prior to every session. It will help prepare your body to perform and bring your mind to the present.
Both are crucial especially if THE set wave of your session comes right to you the minute you hit the lineup.
This routine can also become a go to flow anytime you need to knock the cobwebs off and get moving a bit.
I've noticed a big difference in really two main things. One is my pre-surf warm up gets my body loose and ready to surf. I feel like I'm not step-tripping over to myself as much. Doing those dumb falls that just waste a bunch of waves.
Second my stamina and paddling are really improved and that allows me to surf longer and stronger.
My surfing has improved on so many different levels working with Greg. I have developed much more confidence in the water. I feel more comfortable & strong out there. I can paddle longer, pop-up faster, and turn with more power.
It really gave me direction of what to do to get my body feeling better. Some of those aches and pains I would get after a sesh aren't there anymore. I could see my body becoming much more reliable for me because of the exercises and techniques that were taught.
The personal service was awesome! Greg was very knowledgeable and easy to reach whenever. If I ever had a question he was there to help quickly.
