Improve Muscle Conditioning

Many beginner surfers lack the surfing muscles required for maintaining correct surfing stance for beginners, these include:

  1. Feet shoulder width apart
  2. Knees Bent
  3. Back Straight
  4. Arms out to balance
  5. Head looking forward
  6. Weight of Front and Back foot distributed evenly.

By using SmoothStar for longer periods, surf school students can develop these muscles. By the time they get into the water and start catching waves, students will have strengthened their core surfing muscles. The fitter and stronger a student, the more “surf fit” they will become.

Can you surf when the waves are flat?

Absolutely, this is one of the perfect times schools can jump on SmoothStar and still keep giving a surf lesson. With some surf schools unable to operate when there are no waves, SmoothStar provides a useful tool to teach students and maintain regular surfing lessons.

Students can practise basic surf technique on land over and over again without hassling for waves.
Students can focus on specific points in their technique in order to improve their surfing level.
