Surfing Product Reviews

Two years ago when the Surf Stronger DVD came out we gave it excellent reviews, and thought it was a great tool to have in every surfers arsenal.  Now Surf Stronger is back with Volume 2, this time focusing on Core Training which is critical in surfing.  This new version of the DVD features amazingly in shape pro surfer Serena Brooke as the star along with Scott Adams, a Certified Trainer as well as a surfer.  Part of this training video was filmed on location in Santa Barbara and Hawaii and the soundtrack features among other bands ALO, Culver City Dub Collective, and The Mother Hips.

DVD Features:

• Workout Tips
• Pre-Surf Warm Up Routine
• Main Core Workout
• Quick Core Workout

Whereas Surf Stronger 1 covers the whole body in relation to a surfing workout, Volume 2 focusing mostly on the core.  Surf Stronger starts out with “strong core muscles are the foundation for balance, stability, and powerful movement.”.  We found Surf Stronger Core Training to be a user friendly way to get in surf shape.  The DVD makes it easy to navigate between warm ups, the main workout, and the “Quick Core” workout.  With a flip of a button you can move from exercise to the next, and each section is well labeled.  The music can be pretty good at times, Scott does a nice job of keeping the narration moving, and Serena  does an excellent job of modeling the various workouts.  Surf Stronger draws on a multitude of disciplines of which some yoga-esque philosophy is prominent.  In our opinion this is an inexpensive way to learn the tools to get or stay in shape for surfing and we give it a Surfing Product Reviews “Thumbs Up.”
