Join hundreds of other surfers who have dramatically boosted their wave count and progression. 

For many surfers, paddle power is their biggest limiting constraint, so paddle training is the highest returning investment you can make in your surfing.

Pierre Maré grew up surfing in South Africa but is now landlocked living in London. He only surfs only once a month yet still he managed to quadruple his wave count at the wave pool in just three months after incorporating the Basis Paddle Trainer into his training sessions. In this episode, he shares how paddle fitness transformed his wave count, how fixing his paddling fixed his pop up, and why even short, focused sessions made a big difference in his surfing. We also talk about the limits of self-teaching, the impact of structured coaching, and how consistency can lead to substantial progress.
