Taking Care of the Feet


Let's face it, anybody who has ever had a foot or ankle injury knows that it is just hell trying to surf through the pain.  In fact after an injury we find that our feet are left weaker and a lot stiffer prior to the incident.  So like any other part of our body, we must strengthen the problem area to increase range of motion and to fire up as much muscles cells during any kind of contraction.  Our feet is what connects us to the surfboard and when we get skilled enough they can actually start to pivot the board in tight critical maneuvers.  So here are three strengthening exercises that are demonstrated in the video below :


1. Pronation

2. Supination

3. Flexion
