Get your SUP Fit On… Get Inspired to Get in Shape for Spring SUP Season


With paddleboard season right around the corner, we thought that we would share some of what we are doing to get our bodies ready. Core strength is the number one help for SUP riders, so the best thing to prepare for the upcoming season would be a 30 Day Plank Challenge, like the one seen below. Although the plank challenge won’t be your only form of working out, we are going to add it to our every day workout routine. Some of the best workouts to get you in shape for the paddling season should include pushups, burpees, Russian twists, scissor squats, and leg lifts. Incorporating Balance Boards  (we love Indo Boards!)and yoga balls into your workout will give you the added bonus of helping balance too. Below is one of our favorite at home workouts for you to try! Remember, your goal should be to workout for about an hour three times a week, and that there is nothing wrong with changing the workout to fit your needs and awesome achievements!  Forming a challenge group on FaceBook with some like minded friends or coworkers can really help keep you accountable for starting and finishing your workout each day.

“Over the last 50 years I have trained or employed hundreds of wannabe surfboard craftsmen. Among them are a very few that have become the best in the world. Todd Sutz came to me as just another beginner back in the early 90s. But in short order, he proved himself to be a strong and focused worker who honed his experience into those of a master craftsman in a few years. As worthy as that is, being successful in the “business” of surfboards, takes much more than just being good at one’s craft. It takes a special kind of character to rise above all the foolishness typical of the surf industry. Todd has this kind of character and used it and 10 years of working with me to learn the “business” of surfboard building. This has allowed him to shape out a successful position in a very difficult industry.”
