Surfing is an ideal activity for snowboarders. You will practice balancing and turning with shifting the weight. Windsurfing is slightly different but still, the power needs to come from your legs. Moreover, you need to be very flexible to enjoy the right wind.
We prefer paddleboards but canoe or kayak is also a good choice of how to travel on the water. You will connect your arms in a big way and that can be pretty useful in January on cross-country ski tracks. There is no better training for cross-country skiers than using roller skis during summer. The almost the same movement with a slight difference when slowing or trying to stop the run.
All the muscles you connect on the snow will be connected at roller skis too. A popular activity for summer is slightly different from skiing, but it still offers enough to prepare you for winter.
It is much easier to buy good and cheap roller skates than roller skis. And it is also easier to find a good track to practice. The brakes are obviously part of skates that make it much easier to stop when you need to. Snowboarders who live far from the lake or sea and can not go surfing for the summer have another possibility of how to practice.
Skateboarding is a sub-culture of a kind but it needs a lot of work to skate like a pro. Keeping the balance, jumping or riding the U-ramp need a special set of skills.
Snowboarders should have them all so do not hesitate and go for it. Balance board is a simple idea but ideal for practicing for all snowboarders, skateboarders, surfers or even skiers. It strengthens your body core, improves your body and feet coordination and helps with keeping balance. You can practice everywhere living room, nature, balcony, … and anytime summer, winter, snowtime, ….
Surfing combines the unattached footing of skateboarding and longboarding with the water surface conditions of wakeboarding. What does this mean? It means that surfing is the furthest boardsport from snowboarding. Still though, this addictive action sport undeniably uses some of the same fundamental board skills required to control a snowboard.
Surfing skills and snowboarding skills are interchangeable in the sense that you control your board using similar weight distribution. Using your back foot to ground your weight, a rider will then steer with his front foot in the direction he wants to head. While maintaining your balance on the board, carving on powder in the winter feels awfully similar to riding the waves in the summer.
This is a great way to stay in shape. Battling the waves is a full body workout while riding them offers a familiarity to the snowboarder in you. Well, surfing not only takes longer to learn, but also requires more practise to master. Surfing is not just about riding, it also has a huge focus on knowing how to catch a wave. Reading the waves the right way and knowing how to get up on a surf board requires much more expertise than knowing how to stand up on a snowboard requires.
Its also interesting the ways in which snowboarding allows you to retry a run over and over again, whereas surfing is different every time with each new wave that you catch. This is one thing that every snowboarder HAS to do in the summer months. Trampoline training is a rad way to lean new tricks safely. Get comfortable with big air and big spins by jumping day and night on a trampoline. Currently, companies are coming out with new training boards to amplify the trampoline training experience.
It is key that we have the summer months to train our bodies in new ways and prepare for the winter sports. You could even say it puts us at an advantage.
