Why Paddling Matters
Every surfer wants to improve, but progress stays out of reach when paddling fails. Weak paddling leads to missed waves, fatigue, and frustration.
The difference between surfers who get stuck and those who keep advancing? It often comes down to paddling—and specifically, how they train it.
Paddling is the foundation of surfing.
This course helps you build a paddling engine that carries you through surf sessions with energy to spare.
