Surfing Mobility Demands Surfing combines paddling endurance with explosive pop-ups and dynamic turns. Shoulder mobility enables efficient paddling. Hip and thoracic mobility power bottom turns and cutbacks. Spine extension is needed for looking down the line while riding. Time in the water is limited. Mobility training on land maximizes your performance when waves arrive. Shoulder Mobility for Paddling Paddling consumes most of your surf session. Shoulder mobility improves stroke efficiency and prevents injury: JME 53: JME 56: JME 61: Better shoulder mobility means more waves caught with less fatigue. Hip Mobility for Pop-Ups and Turns The pop-up requires hip flexor mobility. Turns demand hip rotation: JME 108: JME 113: JME 115: Hip mobility enables faster pop-ups and more powerful rail-to-rail surfing. Thoracic Extension and Rotation Looking down the line and generating turning power requires thoracic mobility: JME 151: JME 153: Start your 14-day free trial for surfing-specific mobility routines.
