FRC® Mobility - strength & flexibility for Surfers

Looking for one place to improve your surf mobility, flexibility and surf fitness? If you are ready to move beyond generic “yoga for surfers” videos on YouTube or random workout snippets on Instagram, Surfers Health offers a more structured and specific approach to surf training.


As a certified FRC® mobility instructor and massage therapist working with surfers for more than 15 years, I have designed targeted mobility, strength and breath-work sequences to help surfers:

  • improve paddling and pop-up performance

  • build surf-specific strength and flexibility

  • reduce physical limitations and stiffness

  • support surf longevity

A compact Surf Fitness Course

You want to get the most out of your next surf trip? Surf more and longer sessions. With better take-offs from day one. Stronger paddling, with less fatigue. Turns with fluidity and rotation.

Try this compact preparation course, that I have designed after having worked with surfers for many years: 

  • 1 FRC® Mobility routine

  • 3 short Surf Fitness Workouts

  • 1 Breath-work session

Included:

  • A Surf Warm-up

  • Post-Surf Recovery Routine

  • Take-off & Surf Stance Tutorial

Feeling exhausted, weak and stiff after 2 days in the water is a thing of the past. Being prepared means more stoke and progress.

The SurfFit course adresses all the important areas in the body that landlocked surfers usually struggle with, in regards to strength & endurance as well as mobility. Teaching people how to surf who can move well, with good body awareness and control, is actually a blessing – everything is much easier for the client and for me as a Surf Coach too. Great job, Daniel.

The massage with Daniel was amazing. I went there after 10 days of surfing and skating, and he really helped rebalance my whole body. Daniel has extensive knowledge of trigger points and reflexology. He understands very well how different parts of the body are connected and work together. On top of that, he gave me great tips and exercises to improve my mobility—especially helpful for surfing. Highly recommended!

I’m so happy I finally found a workout and mobility routine specifically designed for surfers that I can do in the comfort of my own home. Thanks to this program, I can get back into the water with confidence even after a weeks without surfing. The exercises are efficient, and I really like how the movements clearly carry over to surfing. For me, it’s extra motivating to know exactly how each workout benefits my performance in the water.

Camilla from Denmark

Working long hours at a desk combined with aspirations of still surfing to the best of my abilities it was not surprising lower back started to cut my surf sessions short. After doing the stretches and exercises that Daniel prescribed and incorporating them into my morning routine my core is feeling more engaged even while at my desk and I no longer am forced out the water due to pain. Thank you so much...

With the mobility workouts, I’m able to surf longer and recover faster after marathon sessions. Can definitely recommend for anyone wanting to up their pre and post-surf stretch game. Cheers Dan.

Lachlan from Australia

Following the instructions in the videos is easy & pleasant - all super clear and comprehensible. I have been training at home 2-3 times a week and haven´t felt that fit and mobile in a long time. This stuff definitely helps my back and my surfing!

Florian from Germany

After 6 weeks of personal training my mobility gains are remarkable! Having a background as a professional athlete I appreciate Daniel´s dedication to detail & precision. He also supported my journey out of an achilles tendon issue with massage treatments & exercises and his fun and down-to-earth style of teaching even got me into a daily yoga practice.


Benni from Germany

I got out of lower back pain real quickly and the added mobility even gave me a refreshing new experience in the surf: A great feel in rotations through turns!

Joao from Portugal

Daniel is an excellent instructor, very easygoing and good natured, yet professional and completely knows his stuff at the same time. The mobility sequences are a perfect blend of functional stretching and strength exercises that feels like medicine for the body: I came out feeling great! Highly recommend!

Liz from Portugal

After experiencing an injury I saw Daniel for help with massage and exercise techniques. He was extremely helpful and I left feeling so much better and in less pain. The videos to stretch & strengthen the area helped to further reduce pain and prevent a recurrence. I would certainly go back to see him both for the outstanding massage and a mobility session.

Matthew from the US

I can highly recommend Daniel's Mobility Training. For me this is the perfect balance to my workouts in the gym and to surfing - staying flexible and increasing my body awareness. You can tell he´s got a lot of experience, giving super clear and precise cues which makes it easy and fun to follow.

Anna from Germany

Doing 1:1 training sessions with Daniel was very effective. After a break from working out due to motherhood he quickly helped me to find my strength again. He not only understood exactly what was needed on the physical level but his guidance was also mindful and with great compassion. A trauma-informed Personal Training, so good! Thank you, Daniel.

Just 5% more mobility makes a huge difference.
