Apnea & Surf Survival Hawaii
The surfing season is on in Hawaii! And the Apnea Training is invaluable for surfers to improve their breath hold ability and safety in the water. After going to Brazil (September), Chile (October), and California (November), the course is back to Oahu on December 12th and 13th.
The goal
This course is designed with only one goal in mind: increase the participants’ breath hold ability in tense situations underwater, while remaining calm and in total control of your mind. This apnea training for surfers teaches different techniques of apnea and breathing exercises to fully oxygenate the body. These help to strengthen and increase the capacity of the lungs.
Beyond the physical capabilities of the lungs, the course will enhance the participants’ mental capacity to deal with stress and danger. Therefore, they will be better equipped to deal with extreme situations in the water, where mind control and calmness are the main factors for survival.
The course will be emphasizing High Surf Risk Management in order to recognize, minimize or avoid unnecessary risks found in the surf zone. Together, the class will work through various surf rescue scenarios, and learn valuable rescue strategies based on the specific situation at hand.
