Not surfing so well today? Whats your warm up like?

Have you ever thrown your wetty on, grabbed your board and jumped straight into the surf and wondered why you surfed so badly?  Here's a tip:  Surfing is an extreamly dynamic sport which involves twisting, weight transferring, balance, core stability and cardio vascular fitness to name a few.
Its no secret the top professional surfers are now regarded as elite sportsman using personal trainers to gain that all important edge on rivals.  The beach bums and dole bludgers of years previous have come a long way!!
Take alook at what Mick Fanning does before a heat and consquently the flexibility and fluidness of his surfing!

A surfing warm should involve dynamic exercises to mimic what is going to (hopefully)happen in the water.
You'll notice Micks warm up incorporates twisting through out it.  If you were to break down his actions while surfing you will notice how the core is involved in most actions and the body twist regularly.  Check his torso positioning to legs during a cut back or tailslide.
Are you going to warm up next time?  I am!!
