Any time I see a surfer dealing with tightness after a comp or a big swell, these are our go-to drills from the Prime Program—especially when riders are feeling tight or sore through the thoracic spine.
These movements are some of my favorites—they focus on restoring mobility, improving rotation, and easing discomfort
1️⃣ Foam Roller Opener
2️⃣ Foam Roller Angles
3️⃣ Banded Thoracic Rotations
4️⃣ Banded Cat-Cows
5️⃣ Kneeling Thoracic Rotations

Each drill focuses on controlled motion—not chasing range. Perfect for recovery days, pre-ride prep, or whenever things feel a bit off. Click on the video link to see all the movements. We'll be bringing our full YouTube library online soon
Save it and Let’s get you moving better 🤙🏽
