BODYWEIGHT SURF STRENGTH HOME WORKOUT

On the southwest coast of France, home to our European offices and some of the best waves in Europe, all the beaches are closed. Small surf villages, like charming Biarritz, are filled with water-lovers like us - stuck inside, unable to enjoy the waves. In France people are only allowed to leave their houses for one hour a day to get some exercise, and must stay within a 1 kilometer radius of their homes when they do.

French coach François Thevenet, who owns a small gym in the center of Biarritz, just steps from the Grande Plage (the ‘Big Beach’ - one of the main surf breaks in Biarritz), and who has experience training competitive surfers, wrote a body weight workout for us, to help us maintain our surf strength while we can’t enjoy the waves. This workout can be done at home, with NO equipment needed.

Our graphic designer Becca (who had been training to run her 11th marathon this month before it was cancelled) demonstrates the workout for us from inside her cute French apartment in Biarritz.

Let’s motivate each other, from around the world and get our bodies moving together! Put on your favorite playlist, tackle this workout, and share it with us if you do it. Just because we can’t surf doesn’t mean we can’t keep improving our surf strength. We’ve got this, girls!
