What does the training program entail?
“We are scheduling SUP 2 sessions per day at 2 hours per session: the surfing training session will take place in the early morning and SUP racing training in the afternoons. Morning sessions will be followed by functional training which will be in the gym circuits and correction of postural mistakes on land and in the water.
After every session, we are going to do a video analysis of each athlete so everyone will be able to see themselves on the big screen to improve your technique for the next session. Off the water, we are also going to focus on the recovery time – which is a very important part of an intense training program.”
There are scheduled training camp dates throughout the 2019 season, either 1 or 2 weeks each month with each training camp able to host up to 30 people at a time.
The HPC will elevate your SUP performance and promises to be an amazing experience! So what are you waiting for?
