Right On!

Since I don't get to surf everyday, this book is exactly what I needed to stay in surfing shape. I have a number of other fitness related books, but none address surfing fitness. This book gave me exactly what I've been looking for. I've since given it to a number of friends and they have all told me how helpful they have found it as well.

YOU CAN'T SURF WITHOUT THIS BOOK!

I am just learning to surf. I didn't realize how much physical effort it would take! This book has helped me to get into shape and really become a better surfer alot sooner than I thought I would! This book is simple, and clear! For the price, you can't beat it!

THIS BOOK HELPED ME SO MUCH!

My daughter bought me this book before a surf trip to Mexico. I had never surfed before and am not a "spring chicken". After doing the exercises in Rocky's book I was more fit than I've ever been and at age 50 learned to surf. I can't say enough good things about this book. What are you waiting for?.... BUY IT!

Excellent source for surfers

Rocky has written a very accessible book that helps me, a formerly regular, and now infrequent surfer to stay fit for those few sessions a month. His routine really pays off for those of us who are weekend warriors, and don't keep our surf fitness up like we used to....by surfing everyday(and will help those looking to simply improve thier surfing). I found the explanations and photos to be great reminders for me to use proper form during the exercises and stretches. I have had the pleasure of watching Rocky in action, his routine works...try to out paddle the guy!

Review from a fourty-something seasoned surfer

As a long time surfer with over 30 years of water time I began to realize that my performance in the line up was deteriorating do to a lack of fitness. Although I get out to surf on a regular basis, my strength, stamina , and flexibility were keeping me from ripping the way I did in my earlier days. After following the "Fit to Surf" program I have noticed a marked improvement not only in my surfing, but in my overall energy level as well. I'd recommend all thirty or fourty-something surfers looking to improve their surfing fitness level, or even beginners wanting to get in shape, to pick up a copy.
