For surfing world champion @john_john_florence, prioritising flexibility in warm-ups is essential for preventing injury on the waves, particularly with his history of knee injuries.

JJF also endorses Vivobarefoot shoes, which give your feet space and allow them to move naturally. Use coupon code EPICFEET for 15% off (in addition to any site sale) on the Sole Mechanics website.

Surfers, we love a good paddle… until our shoulders start feeling like cement bags. Turns out, surfing (plus sitting at a desk or hovering over a phone all day) can mess with your shoulders big time.

Here’s a few ways to train full range of motion, fix imbalances, and keep those joints happy. Think of it like training for paddling, minus the waves and getting saltwater up your nose. You’re welcome.

I’m back and so is Mobility Lab, Fridays 9:30am! Come for a sweat, move and struggle at Surfer’s Gym. 😅

Strengthening at end-ranges of motion can be a highly effective way to improve mobility. Developing greater strength and control in these positions helps the nervous system become more comfortable and capable at these ranges, which may reduce protective muscular tension and improve usable range of motion. Rather than relying solely on passive stretching, end-range strength training builds the capacity to actively control and express mobility.

Come join the Friday crew! 🤜

Testing out the wrist 3 months post wrist surgery. Have gradually been increasing the weight I can grip for a barbell deadlift (couldn’t create a fist or hold the bar 3 months ago) and testing out various double and single arm hanging. Happy I could Skin The Cat and cartwheel today 🥳 Still waiting to get my single arm bridging back. ⏰

A handful of slides from my first presentation to university students studying abroad with AUIP last year. This cohort was studying “Fundamentals of Sports Performance in Australia”, administered by the University of Florida’s Applied Physiology and Kinesiology Department.

In the days following my presentation, the students visited NSWIS and @urbnsurf.

I was a nervous wreck leading up to it (surprisingly ok on the day) and incredibly honoured to be a part of their journey. 🏄‍♂️ 🏄🏼‍♀️ 🌊 🇦🇺 🦘

Legitimately challenging home strength/mobility classes with multiple options to regress or progress each exercise based on your ability level.

Feedback from a long-term online member last week: “Your training works so well—we’ve been surfing for a month, and everything has been easy and pain- and accident-free. It’s a dream!”

Mixed in with “I hate you so much for this week’s classes ;-)” in the same email 😂

Thanks, Esther!

• Poor thoracic mobility = your lower back & neck pick up the slack (surfers, lifters, runners, swimmers… basically anyone who moves)

• Overhead & rotational sports (surfing, tennis, golf, CrossFit, swimming) need extension + rotation — without it, you lose power and load the wrong areas

• Strength training (especially squats, deadlifts, overhead work) is limited by a stiff upper spine → compromised form + higher injury risk

• Hiking or long days carrying a backpack = gradual flexed posture → hello hunchback vibes

• Desk work, driving, new parents, students → hours in flexion = rounded shoulders + kyphotic posture

• Breathing gets restricted when you’re stuck in flexion → less efficient oxygen intake and trunk stability

• Good thoracic extension = better posture, stronger overhead positions, more efficient movement, and less stress on your neck + lower back.
