What is the Drysurf system and what are its benefits?

As a fresh, innovative and different training methodology, this is how we can define the Drysurf Training System, a new and revolutionary teaching system that allows you to perfect your surfing technique and optimise the physical development of the athlete, whether professional or amateur. Pay attention that, in the following lines, we will tell you what it consists of and what are the benefits of this innovative teaching method.

What is the Drysurf teaching method?

Multifunctional and suitable for any sport, the Drysurf teaching system combines the best of sports medicine with physical preparation and neural stimulation in order to protect and prepare the athlete’s musculoskeletal system, avoiding the risk of unnecessary injuries during sport as much as possible.

In essence, this training method adapts any sporting exercise to a specific system that minimises aggressive impacts and avoids any joint damage that may occur. In this way, it is possible to activate neural stimulation and reduce the risk of injury, thanks to the brain’s ability to memorise and correct movements.

This training system is very well adapted to the exercises of different disciplines, including surfing, rhythmic gymnastics, snow boarding, martial arts, football, paddle tennis, etc.

The Drysurf method in surfing

In the case of surfing, the Drysurf teaching system provides a simulator that allows athletes, both beginners and high-performance surfers, to practice in a very easy and safe way. In this way, the method allows the execution of an innovative form of training that helps to strengthen, through preventive medicine, surfing skills such as concentration, balance and fluidity.

The system also allows you to correct all the postures and helps you to practice and perfect all the surfing manoeuvres out of the water. This is why it is so important, especially when learning the Take Off, i.e. the technique for standing up and catching the wave. With the simulator, it is possible to practice this manoeuvre between 40 and 60 times per hour, which considerably reduces the preparation time.

Functional training without damaging the joints

The essence of this methodology is that it allows any exercise to be adapted to the work system, considerably reducing aggressive impacts and avoiding the risk of joint damage through the execution of the correct posture. The versatility of the Drysurf training system allows you to do jumps, tractions, stretching, crunches, lunges, etc., with incredible results.

The Drysurf method is a great ally for the athlete, whatever the sport he or she practices and whatever level he or she is at. In the specific case of surfing, the method gives the surfer a good level of security and confidence, essential for the execution of this sport; in addition, it facilitates the initiation as it allows the correction of postures out of the water.

This system is especially important for proprioception training, as it is essential for maintaining alertness, preventing falls, avoiding injuries and facilitating the rehabilitation process after an injury. It is also a great neural stimulator, helping the brain to mechanise what it learns and put it instinctively into practice.

Training to suit all levels

The Drysurf training system not only makes it easier for beginners to learn to surf, but also helps advanced surfers to perfect their technique. Experienced surfers who are looking to improve their progression will find in this simulator the possibility to practice their moves, especially when the conditions to enter the sea are not the most favourable.

Calima Surf, the Famara surf school, has included this revolutionary training system in all its teaching packages, from the basic to the most intensive. In an area specially equipped for this purpose, the instructors put this method into practice among their students, being very effective both for beginners and for perfecting technique or physical maintenance.

The Drysurf Training System is the easiest way to get started in the wonderful world of surfing. With this method, it is possible to strengthen muscles, improve balance and obtain greater body agility and flexibility. The result is a body that is physically and mentally prepared to achieve a better performance in the water.

In this school you can also come and surf on your own, for this we have comfortable accommodation in our surf house Famara (Lanzarote) just a few steps from the beach and surfboard rental in Famara.
