Shane Dorian is a living legend. He’s your favorite big wave surfer’s favorite big wave surfer. He was an integral member of the Momentum Generation, a group of surfers who changed the way the world surfs. He’s 54 now, but he is still performing with the best of them on the best of days. A big part of the reason he’s able to do that is because he takes care of himself. Very good care. Now, he wants to share some of his knowledge with the world with a 12-week training course developed specifically for surfers.

The guy has always been built like a brick, but in recent years it’s become clear Dorian has been putting more and more effort into his body. Not for looks, mind you — although that’s likely a decent side benefit — but simply so he can continue to do what he loves doing: surfing at a high level.

Dorian, as you’d expect, tailors his workouts around surfing. The best workout for surfing, as they say, is surfing, but we can’t always be surfing all the time. After his stint on the world tour, he decided he’d focus on big waves. For about a decade, he was the guy everyone looked at when Jaws was huge. Then he picked up coaching. With clients like Italo Ferreira, John John Florence, Caroline Marks, Caity Simmers, and Erin Brooks, the results speak for themselves.

“You’ll build strength, mobility, paddle endurance, and smoother, faster pop-ups, the things that actually help in the water,” the description reads. “Each session is about 30 minutes. No complicated programming, just press play and train.”

Dorian made sure the 12-week course is affordable and is broken down by language (prices below). He told us there’s also added bonus modules: A nutrition playbook for the 12 weeks, breath hold and mindset playbooks, and mobility flow videos for off days, as well as pop-up mechanics videos.
