The right surf stance

Why a functional stance?

The functional stance or right stance, is the position to adopt once standing on the surfboard: the position of the feet, the distribution of the body's weight...

While surfing, we move on the water; therefore, the pressure exerted by the feet will have a lot of impact on the behavior of the board. With the correct stance you'll be able to easily control your board (brake, accelerate, turn…) and maintain your balance.

In fact, I call it the “base” position because it is the starting position for any movement while surfing. And this at any level.

Easy but not so much

It may seem easy out of the water. But you will see that there are some very common mistakes that will happen unexpectedly once in the water and they will look very unsightly... If you are aware of this and train at home, it will be easier for you once in the heat of the action.

So, let’s go, to work on the stance to improve your surf and your style!
