With the paddling season drawing to a close, now is the time to shift focus from competition to preparation. At Paddle Monster, we see the off-season not as downtime, but as a crucial phase for growth and mastery through our structured training program led by Coach Larry Cain.

The Importance of Off-Season Training for Paddlers

Strength is a critical aspect of paddling, especially for SUP paddlers who face unique challenges due to their standing position. Our off-season program emphasizes gym-based strength training tailored to enhance your ability to manage and maneuver through the water effectively. By focusing on core, lower body, and paddle-specific strength, you prepare to return to the water with enhanced power and endurance.

Comprehensive Strength Development Off the Water

Strength is a critical aspect of paddling, especially for SUP paddlers who face unique challenges due to their standing position. Our off-season program emphasizes gym-based strength training tailored to enhance your ability to manage and maneuver through the water effectively. By focusing on core, lower body, and paddle-specific strength, you prepare to return to the water with enhanced power and endurance.

Boosting Aerobic Capacity Through Land-Based Training

Paddling demands exceptional aerobic and anaerobic capabilities. Off-season land training allows for the use of larger muscle groups, increasing cardiovascular demand and improving oxygen delivery systems more effectively than on-water workouts alone. Our program includes a variety of land-based activities designed to elevate your aerobic fitness to peak levels, ensuring you have the stamina to endure longer sessions and more intense challenges.

Technique Refinement: Preparing to Excel

Technique is paramount in paddling efficiency. The off-season offers a valuable opportunity to break down and refine each aspect of your stroke. Through video analysis and targeted drills, Coach Larry Cain guides you through detailed technique adjustments. This deliberate practice ensures that when you return to the water, your movements are precise and your efficiency is maximized.
