| 289784 | 16537 | Learning to accept that you don't rip | 44 | applebutter | Aug 15, 2023 | 2023-08-15T13:26:36-0400 | mightyrime said: The other thing about getting to the ripper stage is i think that last 10% is the hardest to overcome. The difference between competent / adv. intermediate or what ever you want to call it to become a certified ripper is all about such micro body mechanics. To the untrained eye it does not look like much, but to us its massive. Just the small difference in stance, take off position, and shift in body weight makes all the difference. It makes sense that there are endless instagram feeds from pseudo surf coaches giving endless surf technique advice because there are so many little movements that need fixing. I do have time to surf a few days a week but i dont have time for endless training of surf skates, muscles work outs, etcc... I wonder if you would actually get to ripper stage faster with less surfing and more out of the water training. Has anyone here fully embraced one of the surf coaching / training programs and seen big results? Click to expand... I think after a certain age cross training is mandatory to even just maintain the same level of strength, mobility and stamina. I'm not sure about surf coaching, im sure it helps, but surf skates do nothing for surfing in my opinion (except get you on a board). All in all, just surfing isn't enough. |
