Good morning.

Stay salty at all times and stop

complaining.

If you wow’nt practice small waves,

white water, small green waves,

winter, spring, summer and fall,

you will stay in the same place.

When you practice at the gym or

any type of fitness, your first few

weeks of training will be basic

simple movments. But surfing

has a lot of complex skills from

the very begining.

When you start fitness you start

with 10-15 reps for big muscles

5-12 reps small muscles.

But in surfing, it is different.

WHY?

While poping up on the board,

you need you balance (core

muscles),big and small muscles,

because most of surfing physical

skills you do at once in a dynamic

invironment, while at the gym you

can target a few muscles,

depending on what type of

workouts and equipment you use.

Usualy when you learn new

exersises or any physical skill,

you have to teach your body to

work slow, in order to implement

coordination the right way, so

when you progress, you can start

with more comlecated skills.

If you will start with more reps,

no rest, and full power, you will

risk injuries.

So, how many reps do you need to

do in the water?

That's a bit complicated to answer

because it depends on so many

varibles. For example, if I do 7

push ups at the gym, the amount

of pop ups on the board will

depend on your strength, power

and balance.

If you want to do more pop ups, it

depends on resting interval in

between the pop ups.

More then that, when you take off

the wave (either white or green, it

does not matter), you generate

speed which helps you to take off

the board.

If you do less, it can be because

your upper body is a bit weaker,

either not engaging enough core

due to weakl inner abdominal

muscles, or not understanding

how to engage them.

As I said, there are more changing

varibles on our pop up, but if you

want to progress you need to

practice at least 2 times a week for

an hour if you are a begginer.

So take a board and say hi to the sea.

Yours,

Coconat 🌊
