What you think about the program

Did you know? 100% of pro surfers keep training their paddling skills.

Mastering paddling is essential to take your surfing to the next level.

Most surfers don’t master their paddling technique:

  • You get tired quickly
  • You can’t reach enough speed
  • Your posture isn’t right for efficient paddling
  • You miss waves because of poor timing
  • You feel like you’re wasting your surf sessions
  • You lack physical preparation

3,800+ surfers train with us

In 4 weeks of training you will:

  • Paddle much longer in the water
  • Glide much faster across the water
  • Strengthen your posture to stay arched on the board
  • Gain fluidity, power and efficiency in your sessions
  • Stop wasting your energy
  • Optimise your take-offs – paddling is the prerequisite
  • Level-up your surfing quickly

Awesome!

Hi! This training is amazing!! But I can’t do the sliding pull-downs on tiles, and with a skateboard it’s too easy. Anyone got a solution?

Thomas B.

🚣

So hyped on this Paddle Challenge – super fun and intense 🙏🔥🔥😜🤙

Simon Fleuret

Really good!

I only started 4 days ago and yesterday in the water I felt way more stable and even when paddling back to the peak I was less tired! Super motivating for the long run and to be top-shape for my Fiji surf trip in October.

After finishing the Take-off Challenge (several times 😁) I did session 1 of the Paddle Challenge and ohhhhh it feels so good 💪 that push-up combo killed me but man it’s worth it. Can’t wait to do everything. A huge thanks for this module 🤙
