Surfing Is Amazing For Fitness

January 2nd, 2008

Surfing is one of the greatest sports in the world.  In fact, surfing is not only fun, it’s also a great workout.

Granted, surfing takes a while to learn.  However, even the learning process is fun and provides great exercise.  Before you learn how to surf, make sure you know how to swim and that you are comfortable in the ocean.

It helps to take a lesson if you’ve never surfed before.  Going with someone who knows the rhythms of the ocean will help give you a head start.

If you’re serious about learning how to surf, you’ll eventually want to get your own board.  While foam boards are great for learning, I would advise against buying one (unless you have a lot of money to burn).  Once you catch a few waves you’ll be wanting to graduate to a fiberglass or epoxy version (aka the "real thing.")
