Get ready to conquer the waves this summer with this TRX Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) workout, shot on the Pacific Coast beaches of Santa Cruz, CA.
In this video, Director of Rip Training Pete Holman pushes PaddleFit founder Brody Welte and professional SUP racer Willis Lindabury Brown through this sand-based Rip Trainer workout.
PaddleFit is the No. 1 personal training company for SUP in the world, and Welte says that key fitness components for the sport include a strong core, balance and power. These functional Rip Training movements can help build the foundational muscles needed to make paddleboarders faster, stronger and more durable in the ocean.
