In Part 1 we covered some mobility exercises for the upper back and neck. Here in Part 2 we are talking about building endurance in your upper back and establishing the proper position to optimally paddle from.
Surfing is fun, but it only accounts for a small percentage of time in our actual session (this is skill and conditions dependent, obviously 😃). What will keep you surfing LONGER is to have more endurance of your paddle muscles and keeping your neck, back and shoulders out of painful positions.
Here, Ryan DeWitt, PT, discusses some points of performance for optimal paddle position, and some exercises to make sure you have the appropriate endurance in the trunk, upper back, neck and shoulder region to paddle stronger, longer and ultimately improve your surfing and your stoke 🔥.
Give these variations a try and see how they go- easy or hard?
And remember to SQUEEZE YOUR BUTT the next time you paddle out and let us know how it goes 🤙.
