Similarities and Differences of Snowboarding & Surfing
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 us take a look at three important elements that these sports require.
Upper Body Strength. 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. In comparison, snowboarding does not require anywhere near the upper body condition as surfing, as snowboarding is mainly a sport powered by the legs and torso
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 Strength & Agility. The legs play a very important part in both snowboarding and surfing, but it’s snowboarding that requires the most from the lower limbs. 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. Don’t for one minute think though that surfing does not require you to have good lower body fitness and flexibility, because it certainly does.

Rome Agent Snowboard – Wide $499.95 The Rome Agent Wide Snowboard is no stranger to freestyle madness all over the mountain. When the park is blanketed in pow, the Agent Wide takes its big-foot-friendly waist width beyond the ropes to seek out cliff drops, face shots, and pillow lines. On sunny days it carves up the corduroy with Rome’s QuickRip sidecut. Eventually, the Agent Wide will head to the park, popping off jumps with the new pop sensation, PressurePop technology. For the metal-on-metal hot jib action, there are the malevolence-resistant Impact edges, which are even thicker than Rome’s already resilient edges. |
