Growing up an hour away from the beach was not the ideal spot to live if you wanted to become a pro surfer. In the winter time in NJ, it gets dark around 4 and i would get out of school at 2:30. I was constantly leaving early to go surfing and constantly getting in trouble for it, but i loved surfing way too much to let anything else get in the way. I even had a GF threaten to break up with me because “I surfed too much.” So what did i do? I dumped her.
In order to keep up with the progressive surfers my age, i had to do whatever i could to train for surfing. I would skateboard, work out on my balance ball, anything i could find that was somewhat similar to surfing. I was fortunate enough to link up with Austin Howlett from Cape Fear Sports Enhancement for progressive surf training and he opened my eyes to a whole new athletic side of surfing. I quickly fell in love with his surf specified training, strict dieting, and can honestly say that it has upped my surfing abilities immensely.
