The PERFECT Surf Warm Up | 5 Easy Movements

Are you that surfer who calmly watches the waves as you take time to fully prepare your body for the upcoming intensity? Or are you, like me, that frother who ditches his board against the sand, rips open the leggy and barely even thinks about warming up before hitting the line up?

Maybe there's a reason I've been injured a bit in the last cutla' years.

Recently, I've been trying to take my pre-hab and body prep a lot more seriously because, if it's something I ask my students to do, then it's something I need to be willing to do. I see many clients who are being held back significantly by their lack of mobility, stability and confidence in their bodies, so I asked my good friend Nic Laidlaw, surfer and movement coach, to write a program for me.

I'm loving this series and appreciate the simplicity of your editing! Honestly a breath of fresh air compared to tutorials with distracting music 🙏

I love the slide low and slow pop up.
Very different from other stuff on YouTube.
Makes a lot of sense.
I’m just a. Beginner so I’ll have to practice this.

One thing about this series, you can also be looking over the ocean to see swell, currents, peaks, rips and anything else important to the session. Thanks and keep these going. All the way from So New Jersey!

Thanks for an informative little vid. Short but kinda perfect not overwhelming and covered alot. My mind and body will appreciate adding this to my journey of starting body boarding. Thankyou

[petertowneya]

It feels good to do these warm up, thanks for sharing

Dude thank you so much for this series.. the pelvis is the gateway to all movement

[eventhorizon]

Kale, thanks for bringing Nick's expertise to us once again. These stretch exercises are excellent even if you do just a few regularly. They make a big difference on the board especially for us that have tighten muscles, ligaments, etc.

Our prayers have been heard. Thanks Kale

Hey Kale was cool to see you at my local break the other day. Your videos have really helped my surfing progress over the years. keep up the good work. 🤙

I too am loving this series, my goal is to get my body to a place where I can comfortably learn to surf, wonderful watching yourself and the fabulous Nic go through these movements, reminds me of when I was a Dru yoga, student, training to teach, very relaxing and informative video’s 😊👏🏼🏄🏼‍♀️🧘‍♀️

[blackdog]

Really good stuff. Love the movement patterns and the vibe.

[robinhewlett]

Liking this warm up, will do this every time before I go surfing. 👍

It'd be cool to make a video comparing a weak paddler vs a strong paddler paddling out with a drone to see if you can spot where the weak paddler is loosing ground (stroke rate, paddle efficiency, duckdiving, post-duck-dive recovery, paddle strategy etc), . I have this issue (stroke rate is good) but am slow to make it out the back, and struggling to identify where.

Hi Kale. Thanks for all your vids. Got some good ideas from them

[jnoonanuk]

Hi, thanks for this video, this was just what I've been looking for. This is a fantastic video. Your channel is great, constantly loving the content. 🤙😆

[aaronmiles]

This is all such good advice. So stoked!

[zerox]

This is awesome ! I've always done similar stuff intuitively but it's good to see it defined
