A dynamic warm up will also decrease the chance of injuries. Lastly a dynamic warm up will help create a pre-surf ritual to focus on the upcoming surf session.

Interview With Amateur Surfer Filippa Ferrara

Filippa Ferrara is Senior at Palos Verdes High School in Palos Verdes. She has been training with the Sandsnowandstreet team for a little over 2 months. Before she started training with the Sandsnowandstreet team she would a little cardio here and there but found herself getting injured and not progressing at the paced she would have liked. The Sandsnowandstreet team corrected Filippa's imbalances, improved her motor patterns and challenged her balance with the use of surf specific exercises. Filippa can now 180 jump from a bosu ball onto a exercise ball which has translated to an increase in her surf performance. In the past month Filippa has won two of her heats while surfing for PV. Filippa's coach says " this is the best he has ever seen her surf." Watch for Filippa in the future she is upcoming star.
