Hey mermaids! ๐Ÿงœ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ This is your sign to save your shoulders! ๐Ÿชง

I donโ€™t know who needs to hear this but it doesnโ€™t matter your surf level, you absolutely need to warm up! ๐Ÿ’ฆ

Take it from me, an athlete my whole life and super strong, but never properly warmed up and eventually sustained a SLAP 2 tear in my rotator cuff, and was suggested to get surgery. ๐Ÿ’ฅ ๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธ

Thanks to @doctor.masi and @missjessika @contrasportsclub and these movements Iโ€™ve been able to surf 3-7 days a week! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ

Save this, take five minutes and happy surfing! ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ

**pro-tip that elastic band fits in your wetty or swimsuit and subs as an emergency tourniquet!

Learned that @gerglong @b.w.r.a.g assessment! ๐Ÿ˜‰ because stay ready and never have to get ready. ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿฝโœจ

Body activation and muscle memory are key! ๐Ÿ„โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช Your first wave is proof that preparation matters โ€” switch on the body, trust your training and let instinct take over. Repetition builds confidence and helps you perform when it counts. Check out Rochelle Ballard for some great insights into surf technique, flow and body awareness. ๐Ÿค™๐ŸŒŠ #SurfCoaching #MuscleMemory #SurfPerformance #RochelleBallard well done #purposefulpixie๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ˜Ž
