Motivate the students’ bodies aerobically and anaerobically via warm ups, stretches and muscle and joint relaxation.

Development

(Technique, Tactic and Psychology)
Excercises to surf waves (warm up, stretches, abdominal work and jogging). These are basic and specific movements for this sport.

TECHNIQUE
Maneuvers; the most common being the Cutback, the Roller, floaters, and reentry.

TACTIC
Observing the sea’s behavior and wave action for 10 minutes is important, as currents can display a lot of variation. We teach the student how to know where to enter and exit the sea, as each beach has different breaks (where the waves break). This ensures that the student is able to locate and visualize waves well, as well as understand wave conditions and weather predictions.

PSYCHOLOGY
It is important for students to understand that their surfing will be better when they work as a team, and not as an individual. During the beginners phase we encourage them every wave they catch, observe their strengths and weaknesses in order to make comments later. We believe that constructive criticism in groups helps performance.

The Warm Up
1. Energetic exercises: These exercises are designed to warm the body (especially muscles and joints), and prepare it for sport. They consist in some rhythmic aerobic activities such as jogging, jumping-jacks and joint rotations. These are started slowly and then the pace is increased continuously until a light sweat is generated, for a duration of at least 5 minutes, but preferably 10 minutes.

2. Stretching exercises: These are exercises designed to stretch muscles, tendons and ligaments, especially those which are used during training or competition. First we focus on movements for flexibility: a routine of light stretches working large muscle groups. Next, a more specific routine involving the muscle groups.

3. Simulation exercises: These are the most surfing specific exercises in the warm up. They are designed to help prepare the body and mind, simulating the conditions when one is surfing. Essentially, the students will rehearse the skills they will need to surf.

Relaxation and Recuperation:
Each training session ends with a relaxation period. This phase has two components:

A – Progressively decreasing the heart rate with light exercises at the end of any sport greatly accelerates the body’s return to rest, and helps the recuperation process. These are rhythmic movements that exercise large muscle groups, which gradually decrease in intensity. This component lasts about 4 – 5 minutes.

B – Stretching exercises: usually less intense than the ones do in the warm up. During this phase of training athletes are able to achieve additional flexibility
