We sat down with dear friend Troy Abraham to film a series of yoga for surfers videos for our YouTube Channel. Do yourself a favour, if you’re serious about your surfing and want to learn a thing or two, make a date to devour these videos… especially the juicy YIN for surfers class.
Yin Yoga for “Surfed Out” Surfers – Deep release for shoulders, spine, & hips
This is a Yin Yoga for surfers that are “surfed out” after back-to-back sessions. If you are looking for a deep release into the shoulders, upper and lower back & hips, this is a great yoga class for surfing. In this episode of Yoga For Surfers, Troy Abraham takes me through 40 minutes of blissful restorative Yin Yoga for surfers. Yin is not about stretching, it is about the passive release of the fascia which is your body’s connective tissue. Enjoy melting into each pose.

Surf Warm Up Routine – Best on-beach stretch before paddling out
What is the best surf warm-up routine to do before paddling out? Many of us just grab our surfboards and run to the water without warming up our bodies, stretching, or doing any dynamic movement. This can often lead to injuries or muscle tweaks that could have been prevented by stretching.
In this episode, Troy Abraham takes me through a quick surf warm-up routine that you can do on the beach while you watch the waves and figure out what peak will be best to surf.
Combine this with our morning mobility routine that we recommend you do while you wait for your coffee to brew, and you have yourself in good shape, warmed and lubricated to get out there and have a solid surf session.
