177 - Drysurf: Innovative Surf Training for „Landlocked“ Surfers

"Our first episode in English… ufff… Our guest is Mauro, Benni’s
surf coach at his coaching retreat in Fuerteventura – work less,
play more! Mauro developed the surf training project Drysurf,
which he uses in his surf coaching sessions on Fuerteventura and
distributes to surf schools and projects worldwide.



Mauro is a passionate surfer and coach. His enthusiasm,
experience, and mindset make him seem like a wise man,
illuminated by the ocean! We have a long and inspiring
conversation with him about his personal journey, surf attitude
and etiquette, Fuerteventura’s surfing scene, the joys and
challenges of growing tourism, and, last but not least, his
professional training system Drysurf.



Drysurf is essentially a surfboard on an elastic suspension
system, designed to mimic real surfing conditions. It’s a
fantastic way for landlocked surfers – as well as all surfers -
to stay connected to the sport, even off the water. It helps
refine technical surfing skills, boost fitness and strength, and,
most importantly, it’s a lot of fun! 



For those of you interested only in the main topic, Drysurf, you
can skip straight to minute 1:21:40 or use the chapter marker in
the episode to jump right to it. But honestly, we highly
recommend listening to Mauro all the way through—it’s worth it!
