South African Squad Ins & Outs

The toughest and most rewarding training in Stand Up Paddling is the In’s & Out’s session.

Stand Up Paddling – Ins and Outs

For those not familiar with the term. Stand Up Paddlers line up on the beach and race through the surf until they reach a mark approximately 50m past the backline. On the way, encountering a multitude of waves ranging from ,5m to 2m in size. Every time a white water hits the paddler, it stalls them and they lose momentum, having to pull hard to get back up to speed. A session normally is made up of 6-10 of these in’s and out’s and must surely be one of the best fitness workouts in paddling.
