Good article on Surfline right now:

Here's an excerpt:

Matt Griggs, surf and performance coach for Mick Fanning, weighs in on shoulder function: "Since shoulders are generally the place people think they are the strongest, they tend to do everything from there, even surf. This is, of course, wrong. Your shoulders are a part of a whole system called the human body that needs to work as one unit. If your shoulders are rigid and the load is compartmentalized to this point, you will move (and surf) in a disjointed manner. Plus rigid things tend to break easier! Next time you surf feel where your center is -- and allow your shoulders to rotate around it with correct posture. This will not only better avoid injury, but you will surf better."
