EFFICIENCY
Paddling can be one of the most exhausting aspects of surfing. If you paddle inefficiently it means that you are using more energy than you need to paddle at that pace - not a great idea if you want to stay out in the surf for hours. Pilates for Sports teaches surfers to be aware of how they are currently paddling and then helps paddlers build a strong core to ensure that every bit of power they generate goes into their paddling. This comes about through the strengthening of the powerhouse, knowledge of how to engage it and improving the range of motion and stability of the shoulders. This controlled efficient movement will also reduce the chance of injury.

STABILITY
To help you understand the benefits that a strong and stable core can provide to surfers, picture a cannon on a canoe out in the middle of a lake. Now, if that cannon fires, it won’t be able to shoot very far because the canoe will wobble and capsize, as it can’t handle the force of the cannon. In this scenario the surfers arms and legs are the cannon and their wobbly core is the canoe on a lake, which can't handle the power being produced because of its instability. However, put that cannon on a concrete platform and the result is very different. From that stable base, maximum power can be directed to the cannonball, resulting in the cannon being able to fire to it’s full potential. Just as a surfer with a strong and stable core can paddle with power and move with maximum mobility in order to get the most out of every wave.

BALANCE
Balance is and important skill for anyone looking to improve their surfing. Balance is required so the surfer can develop quicker reaction times and will also enable then to develop the ability to dynamically stabilize your joints. Pilates will develop the balance you need to take your surfing to the next level. As a someone once said: “You don’t need Pilates For Sports to surf, but you may surf better and with less pain if you do Pilates For Sports”

REDUCED PAIN & INJURY
If your muscles around a joint are unbalanced and your core is weak, it means that some muscles will have to overwork to produce a movement. Over time this can lead to pain and even injury.For surfers this can mean back, neck, shoulder or knee pain. Pilates For Sports will strengthen your core and help you to develop strong balanced muscles so that you can surf efficiently with good form and with decreased chance of pain and injury.
