About the Author

Dave Rearwin grew up surfing in Southern California in the 1950s with a crew that included legends like Rick Naish, Carl Ekstrom and Butch Van Artsdalen. He transitioned from balsa to foam, from longboards to shortboards, and from the no-leash, no-wetsuit era to the ease and comfort we enjoy today.

Responding to the needs of surfers of all skill levels, including those returning after long layoffs or recovering from injuries, he developed these non-destructive, zero-impact, surf-specific exercises, which proved their worth by allowing him to get back in shape and back into surfing after a forced layoff of several years.
