Thanks Surfgirl! This programme has highlighted so many aspects of my progression that need attention – even areas that I hadn’t realised needed fixing. From pop-ups (my sneaky knees always want to annoyingly join the party) to turning (I’ve been working on this but realise now that I need to be more like Iron Man). The land-based workouts and yoga are perfect for the stormy, unfavourable conditions we’ve had recently in Cornwall. Looking forward to applying all of this to my surfing 🙂
