Surf Sistas Morocco

Written By: Amy Swanson on March 15, 2010 3 Comments

I hardly think this last Surf Sistas trip could have been any better… perfect waves all week for both beginners and intermediates, beautiful accommodation and suntans all round!¬† And of course I’m super impressed with all the Sistas’ Pilates skills.¬† With every trip we do and every girl we help learn to surf,¬† I in turn,¬† learn more about how best to apply Pilates to surfing with the most efficient outcome – better wave riding.¬† There is no doubt that Pilates helps with surfing but the many levels and different angles one can take continues to impress me.¬† Every group of girls brings a different dynamic, a different approach to movement and each individual has their own physiological boundaries to overcome.¬† This week was no different. The great thing about week long trips for me is that I really get to know everyone’s bodies, how they move & what’s not working for them in the water.¬† I can tailor their Pilates to their individual needs so its really relevant to improving their surfing.¬† The morning sessions are dedicated to warming up muscles, practicing movement patterns that will be used in surfing and getting the mind and body connected.¬† After a days surfing we have a sunset session, a beautiful way to unwind and loosen up with a stretch as the sun goes down.¬† We can also take this opportunity to digest how the day’s surfing has gone and what we need to work on physically to progress further.

Morocco has so much to offer and we wind down the day with a hammam, a dip in the pool and a beer or two in the bedouin tent….¬† If you think this sounds up your street check out my blog for upcoming trips and tips on keeping surf-fit http://swandivepilates.blogspot.com/ plus you can follow us on facebook too¬† http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Surf-Sistas-Morocco-Boutique-Surf-Camps-for-Girls/121586291533?ref=ts¬† The Pool
