Exercises before surf camp

I'm heading to Portugal for a week and doing two sessions a day for five days in August. I go the gym three times a week, anything in particular I should focus on so I'm not fucked after day 1?

I once was surfing in Portugal as well, in Ericeira. Really beautiful over there.

Did you surf before? Because two sessions a day sounds a lot if you're just starting out.

Good shoulders and back muscles is a beneficial I'd say. And generally good core strength. Enjoy your trip! :)

If your starting out stay away from the north beaches in Ericeira, I’m talking from experience šŸ˜‚ the south beaches are waaaay more forgivable

Where you goin? I'm planning on going somewhere there too but in mid september. And to answer your question - don't think it matters too much what you do to prepare, as long as you are in general good shape should be good to go

Peniche! Looking forward to it. Good to know I shouldn't be too achy.
