Improve Your Surf Game With Improved Flexibility
Hamstring Stretch: Be sure to lift your leg as high as you can without any assistance. Use the rope to add about 10% assistance to get a deeper stretch, being sure to keep your knee fully extended. You will find that over time if you use your muscles to reach to greater ranges, you will improve the strength of that joint and will no longer need a rope to get there. This holds true for all stretches. You must first initiate the movement with the muscles, then you can add assistance to increase your range of motion for that specific joint. Feel free to open your leg to the ground to stretch the inner thigh and then pull across your body to stretch the lateral muscles of your leg.
90/90 hip/back/shoulder Stretch: Lying on your side with one leg across your body and knee on the ground, open your upper torso and reach to a 45degree angle.
Shoulder/ Triceps Stretch(upward and downward): With hands shown in the same position as the photo below, reach downward with the superior hand, then add light assistance from below. This should also be done with an upward reach and pull.
