Often underestimated by board riders, breath-training will greatly improve your performance, enhance recovery and provide tools for mastering your nervous system. You will become more confident in bigger waves and have even more fun and pleasure surfing.The B4s Breath-Training Clinic for Surfers combines theoretical learning with practical experiences of underwater swims and drills, breathing exercises on land and surfer specific breath work.
The 6-hour Clinic (3h land, 3h pool training) is for all the wave chasers (13+) who want to improve breathing, safely train their breath-hold in the water, recover faster and deal with wipe-outs and hold-downs with much more confidence.
LAND SESSION - FREE YOUR MIND, LEARN ABOUT YOUR BODY
- Witness the mammalian dive reflex in action and learn how to use it’s power in the surf and for competition preparation
- Learn how to strengthen intercostal muscles for more powerful and efficient breathing
- Practice pranayama and learn which are the best stretches to increase lung flexibility
- Master recovery breathing so that you can recover quickly and most effectively between sets
- Train your autonomic nervous system to switch from sympathetic to parasympathetic state
- Learn about the benefits of cold exposure
- Learn what gives you the urge to breathe and why
- Learn how to train the tolerance to certain gases in your body
- Discover many other routines that you can easily implement in your daily life to enhance your life and performance in the surf
POOL SESSION - FIND COMFORT IN DISCOMFORT
The pool training is fun but challenging experience as we do everything on a passive exhale (so that you’ll be ready for much more difficult situations in the surf). The exercises build up to the point that you’ll feel as if you are caught under a large wave and you'll be able to control your body & mind.
YOUR INSTRUCTOR - MICHAELA
Michaela is a competitive freediving athlete and soon-to-be officially recognised, Guinness WR holder. In November 2023, I completed 101 underwater breast stroke laps in 25m pool. Imagine 101 waves falling on top of you, you have to swim 25m under each one and have 7 seconds to breathe before the next wave comes!
This course combines top-notch breath-holding techniques from one of the best freedivers in Australia with the experience of a seasoned surfer. You'll be getting the best of both worlds, where breathing and breath-holding skills come together seamlessly.
