Balance Exercises For High Level Activities: Surfing

Today, lets look at a fun, high level balance activity-- SURFING

Take a look at this quick video clip of surfing:balance on a board

In the sport of surfing, the surfer is balancing on an unstable board that is simultaneously speeding down a fast, crashing wave. Even though surfing is an incredibly hard sport that requires extreme balance ability, the balance techniques needed in surfing are the same basic principles of balance that we use everyday.

Common Balance Exercises and Balance Techniques

There are several basic balance techniques and balance exercises for all of us, whether we are riding on a board on a wave or walking down stairs in our homes. The first balance technique is to center our balance in the base of support beneath our feet. That becomes our center balance point that the brain uses for anchoring us to remain upright for both surfing and walking. Next, we need to master static and dynamic balance techniques. Static balance is being able to stand still with the balance point centered in our feet no matter what the surface below us is doing. Dynamic balance is being able to maintain our upright position while we are moving, for instance when one leg swings forward during walking, or when our surfboard is moving on the wave below us. There are basic balance exercises to perform to improve both static and dynamic balance no matter what your activity level is.
