Testimonials

I was a little hesitant on joining Surf Fit as I was not a very confident swimmer let alone having ever tried surfing. However your programme not only increased my upper body strength it also improved my confidence and ability to get out in the sea more thanks to the paddling exercises we did using the surf board. I even stood up on the surfboard on the smaller waves...very enjoyable, can’t wait for next month’s’’.

‘’Coming from a country where I used to surf a couple of times a week I didn’t get in the water as often as I’d hoped when I moved here, as I believed the Gulf didn’t see any surf. I was last winter season however proved wrong, to my surprise the Gulf does produce some great surf and unfortunately due to my lack of surfing prior, my fitness levels were not up to the standard they used to be. Your Surf Fit has allowed me to yet again develop that core strength required and improve my cardio thus catching more waves than ever before in Dubai. Thanks team’’.
