Dude your stuff is the most effective material Ive found on the internet. Only a few weeks ago I wasnt able to touch the tips of my toes, and now... MAGIC. I spent months stretching but just wasnt doing it right. now I can easily pop up on my shortboard without using my feet. keep doing this. keep surfing ;)
nope. strength and conditioning coach, and massage therapist. I've worked alongside physios for a while now, and have done quite a lot of similar secondary education. thanks for the support! just lots of reading and learning.
Hey Cris, great video. Do you have "crunchies" when you move your arms and shoulders like that? I feel I have very good mobility and flexibility but I also have small pops and crunches in some areas of my shoulders when rotating them in a circle or certain movements with tension. What are your thoughts? Is that normal or something to be worked on? Thank you, Daniel
@@SurfStrengthCoach Yes, exactly whats I was thinking about the similarity to the paddling move. Thank you for the fast answer! I'm training to your videos a lot in this lockdown!
swimming will improve your pulling strength, as well as endurance and some aspects of cardio. won't do anything to improve posture. if you've got bad posture, you can still swim with bad posture.
+Peled Yaron along the thoracic spine. you're trying to gently mobilize the thoracic segments, so if using taped tennis balls, there'd be a ball on each side of the vertebrae.
yeah, so place it along the vertebral segments of the spine. it'll be perpendicular to your body. move an inch, up or down, along the spine. don't go into lumbar or cervical spine. inhale comfortably as you extend over the noodle
OUTSTANDING MOVES!!!!!!! I do Outrigger Canoe Padding and these exercises will HELP strength your core. Mahalo Nui!!
Beginner level surfer here, I wish i could've seen this video a long time ago. Good stuff in your page man. Keep it up!

I have 2 bulging disc and a ruptured disc, do you have any workouts that I can do?
3:42 I can't see your feet here. Are they off the ground?
they can if you'd like. it'll ramp up the extensor chain a bit more, and is more representative of what you'd experience in the water.

Hey Cris! Would swimming improve your posture or would it strength? Cheers!!
swimming will improve your pulling strength, as well as endurance and some aspects of cardio. won't do anything to improve posture. if you've got bad posture, you can still swim with bad posture.
Oh okay! Good to know!! Cheers Cris!!
? Hey Cris, great video. where exactly to place the tennis balls? dorsum or above it

will it do the job?
yeah, so place it along the vertebral segments of the spine. it'll be perpendicular to your body. move an inch, up or down, along the spine. don't go into lumbar or cervical spine. inhale comfortably as you extend over the noodle
Thanks again!
