We’ve got surfers in here from Hawaii, Brazil, Portugal, Japan, Australia, Fiji, the UK and all over the US. Drop your home break below, and a photo of it if you’ve got one. If you see someone from your area, say hi. You might have a new surf buddy in here.

Aloha, I am just back from Sunset Beach, and my paddling was a little slower and harder than normal. Does anybody happen to know any paddling exercises that I can incorporate into my daily workout?

The rest days count too. Even when the swell is pumping, Shane still takes his active recovery day. Big lifting days only pay off if you recover from them. If you're in week 2 or 3 of the program, this is your sign not to skip the mobility session. It's the one most people drop when they feel good, and it's the reason your shoulders and hips stay happy for years. Not on the program? Same idea. Pick one recovery thing you'll actually do this week, like a walk, a stretch, or a real meal, and do it. What does your rest day look like? Drop it below.

Anyone know a surf teacher/coach here on island that might help me? Adult beginner/intermediate but so stoked to learn and very committed to getting out there even when conditions aren't great. I'm self sufficient at this point, not needing to be pushed into waves and I'm learning how to ride down the line. I'd love a coach or mentor here that has time for me and can share their wisdom! Thanks in advance.
