Adults Learn to Surf
Surf Lessons for adults are extremely popular as young adults and seniors want to cross it off their bucket list.
When I teach Surf Lessons in Oceanside USA, most of my students in the summer are kids and in the winter are adults. Adults and kids face the same issue in flexibility. It is amazing how at any age, if you are not stretching, your body gets stiff.
The important physical requirement for surfing are flexibility or being stretched and upper body strength, like in doing push ups. So if an adult wants to prepare for lessons they should do three things. They should start stretching, doing push ups, and practicing the pop ups in their living room. (I have a video in the store on how to do popups.)
Surfing is physically demanding, but the requirements for success are sport specific. To get up on the surf board, you have to do a pop up. If you land in the right spot on the board, the surf board will go straight to the beach with minimum work required. This is my goal for students on their first day.
If you want to have long sessions, recovery gained from aerobics is important. I also suggest that if adults are not exercising daily, that one hour lessons are sufficient.
