Train your paddling anywhere, anytime so you can catch more waves and have more fun with the Basis Paddle Trainer www.surfbasis.com
In this week’s episode of Basis Surf Podcast, I’m joined by Clancy Dawson ( @clancydawson ), one of the coaches at @surfingaus who’s focused on preparing elite Australian surfers for the world stage. We dive deep into the importance of training in the gym, getting paddle fit, ways to improve your cutback, and more importantly, how to stop caring about what other people think and start focusing on improving your technique.
