SURFING TRAINING & SCIENCE SPORTS SCIENCE: Sports Science is the study of body movements and how each movement is intricately linked with our ability to move. For surfing, sports science identifies the body movements necessary to complete a particular manoeuvre. At the HPC your surfing can benefit from sports science research through the following services. SURF SPECIFIC TRAINING: Professionaly trained staff implement the following training programs: BREATH ENHANCEMENT TRAINING FITNESS TESTING & ANALYSIS CHIROPRACTIC CONSULTATIONS PERSONAL TRAINING GROUP CLASSES YOGA PILATES CIRCUIT TRAINING POOL SESSIONS NATUROPATH CONSULTATIONS SILICON COACH DVD SURFER ANALYSIS: Silicon Coach is an innovative computer software program that allows coaches to analyse your surfing.

This is state of the art technology that allows surfers to benefit from the emerging science of surfing. Surfers are able to view the presentations created over and over again, helping them fast-track their surfing development. SKATEBOARD TRAINING: Due to shifting conditions, surfing can never offer the same environment to repeatedly practice manoeuvres and technique. This is where skateboarding comes into its own. Carve up the roads simulating your surfing bottom turns and re-entries to make technique adjustments that will make all the difference when you hit the water for your next surfing session.
