Aloha Tribe,
We have some great Triple Overheads coming, in the 20 to 21 foot range at the end of this weekend and early next week. In preparation, yesterday and today as well as for the rest of the week, I've been doing a fun exercise for kicking endurance for medium waves.
1. You do 25 Pull Ups, then, 25 Jumping Jacks, then run a quarter mile (or paddle your surfboard this distance), then do 25 Jumping Jacks.
You do this 4 times for a total of 100 Pull Ups, 200 Jumping Jacks, and 1 mile run or 1 mile paddle.
Immediately next...
2. You do 25 Wide Armed Push Ups, instantly followed by 25 Jumping Jacks, run a quarter mile or paddle your surfboard, then 25 Jumping Jacks.
You do this 8 times for a total for this phase of 200 Push Ups, 400 Jumping Jacks, and 2 miles run.
Then...
3. You do 25 Sit Ups or stomach exercises of any type, followed by 25 Jumping Jacks, run a quarter mile, then 25 more Jumping Jacks.
You do this for a total of 500 Sit Ups or stomach exercises, 600 Jumping Jacks, and run 3 miles.
The grand total for all of the above...
100 Pull Ups
200 Wide Armed Push Ups
500 Sit Ups
1200 Jumping Jacks
6 miles of Running or 6 miles of lay down paddling on your surfboard if you want to stay sports specific.
Try to truly push yourself and do all of the above somewhere between 1 and 2 hours if you can. If you really want to make it fun, add an additional 5 hours of swimming (mostly in sprint intervals) in the roughest seas possible with fins (personally, I prefer Aqua Lung Rocket Fins - they're often favored by Rescue Swimmers - be sure to get some Fin Savers if you're swimming in gnarly seas so you don't lose them, they don't float).
I've found that exercises like these help me to get the grit to push through challenging surf. If you happen to be at the beach, instead of running, simply get on your board and paddle the required miles as quickly as you can for each section.
