Are The Skills and Fitness of Surfing Transferable To Snowboarding?
When it comes to popular extreme sports, snowboarding and surfing are right up their at the top of the list. Lots of people actually like taking part in both sports, despite the fact that the geographical locations of both surfing and snowboarding are often very different. But how much of the skills and fitness that are needed for one sport transferable to the other? Let’s compare 3 of the main elements needed for these sports.
Upper Body Condition. Surfing is one of those sports that is absolutely grueling on the upper-body, and if its not in good condition you wont be going anywhere fast. You need endurance in order to repetitively paddle surfboards out to see against breaking waves, and power is need in the ‘pop-up’ phase of getting upright on the board when you have caught a wave. Snowboarding however, does not demand anywhere near as from the upper body, as it is only really used for balance and core-stability support
Timing. Both snowboarding and surfing require honed timing skills. In snowboarding it is vital to time your turns perfectly and even more important when doing jumps as lining up for the correct entry to the kicker can mean the difference between a clean landing and a face full of snow. Timing is also very important in surfing, not only when trying to pick up a wave, but also knowing when to turn, flex, or indeed bail out.
Lower Body Agility & Fitness. Although surfing is reliant on having a strong and agile lower body, snowboarding is the sport that is more leg-focused. Snowboards require great skill and agility to turn and carve, and if your leg muscles are not in good condition you will simply not be able to ride well. However, don’t think the lower body can be neglected in surfing, your legs and core need to be strong and flexible, even just to stand up.

Rome Agent Rocker Snowboard – Wide $499.95 Once upon a time there was a large yeti with huge ol’ feet dwelling in the woods. This particular yeti loved to snowboard. And he was good at it, he loved to jib, lap the park, ride powder-filled chutes, and spray skiers. But there was one problem: this oversized biped couldn’t find an all-mountain freestyle board that didn’t cause his large huge heels and toes to drag in the snow. Boards that did fit were coffin-sized and no fun in the park, which was no good, either. One day, a Rome Agent Rocker Wide Snowboard fell from the sky. He was stoked out of his mind. |
