I am getting ready to try coldwater surf!!! Bought a wetsuit, secondhand, ION jewel series 5/4. Tried it on and tried some pop-ups, and that thing is warm!! at least inside.
Wearing a thick wetsuit, sure aint going to make my "moves" more smooth, but I know I´ll have a blast getting tossed around in the waves: D

This video is great. Even though I have been long gone from this blog and surfing, I try to think about what muscles I need to work out and which moves I use in Surfing, while doing my other exercise. In my aikido class we often end up face down on the floor, and that´s an excelent opportunity to practise the pop-up while getting up:)
