Cross Fit -- For Surfing

Most of this stuff is summarized from

Allison Wunderland's Surf Your Butt Off Blozilla

What we seem to have slid into is a generalized fitness regimen for fitness: Aerobic, strength, flexibility . . .

227.8 lbs. this AM

31.8 fat
50.8 H2O
6.8 bone density
32.5 BMI more or less

We must all start somewhere. My strength is improved from the water feature work, rock moving. We're working in some casual stretches just to loosen up, improve flex. This is a weak point and necessary for suiting up (back closures), and paddling prone on the board.Getting the board out to the water is aerobic, along with putting on the wetsuit.

We have a theory, maybe an insight . . . the board is for "carving" in the water, not for flotation. You cannot balance a bicycle standing still, can't balance a board that's not carving into a wave.
