In the world of sports, few combinations are as complementary and beneficial as surf, skate and yoga. Let’s explore the connection between these three disciplines, their benefits, and how they can help us improve in each one of them.

The strength and balance gained from yoga enhance performance in both surfing and skating. In turn, practicing these sports improves physical and mental endurance, as well as coordination.

Surf and Skate
Surfing and skating have been connected since their beginnings. In fact, skateboarding was born as a land alternative for California surfers who sought to simulate the feeling of gliding over waves when there were none. In both surf and skate, balance is essential. Regular practice of both sports allows the body to adapt to quick changes in direction and speed, improving coordination and muscle response.

Yoga
Yoga is a discipline that focuses on both the mind and the body. Its physical and mental benefits perfectly complement the demands of surfing and skating. Yoga postures strengthen the muscles, especially the core, which is crucial for maintaining balance on the board. Additionally, the flexibility gained through yoga allows for a greater range of motion, making complex maneuvers easier both in the water and on the pavement.

By adding breath control, or pranayama, surfers can manage their oxygen during underwater dives. For skaters, calm and controlled breathing helps maintain focus during tricks.
