"Hi! This is Pat Weber with the San Diego Surfing Academy for expertvillage.com. In this clip we are talking about basic surfing fitness. You know they misnamed the sport; they call it surfing, but they should have called it paddling because it is all about upper body. Paddling is your transportation. Your arms and your upper body are everything. Now if you know you are coming out to go surfing and you have a pool, you should be doing swimming for spring speed endurance. Swim the cross roads, swim the free style stroke all for strength, speed and endurance. Now if you don't have a pool, then you might consider pre-weights or weight machine, low weight and ridiculously high repetition. As many repetitions as you can stand, because think of it this way: if you are paddling a hundred yards and each stroke is going to take you a yard, that's a hundred strokes. And you catch 10 waves say in 2 hours: that is going to be a 1,000 yards of paddling to get back and forth. So that of mind you conditioning yourself so that you can enjoy the sport more. "
