Tasty Surf Foods to Keep Your Stoke Alive In and Out of the Water

Our Pre and Post Surf Session Food Lists

Let’s start of by dispelling the old wives tale, “No Food 30 minutes to 1 hour before getting in the water.“  Sorry, it’s a big fat lie!  It’s essential to fuel up for your wave carving adventure, just keep it light.

Now that we’ve rejected your entire childhood experience at the shore/pool…

It’s time to move onto our Pre-Surf Session Food List 

(Carefully compiled with the help of our favorite surfing and bodysurfing addicts):

•  Oatmeal, Porridge, Cereal
• Yogurt
• Fruit Smoothie
• Acai Bowl= (Crowd Favorite)
• Fresh Fruit and Nuts *Shout out to Bananas (which are known for their special cramp-fighting abilities)
• Fresh-squeezed/juiced veggies and fruit

High five to coconut water for being extra special for hydration.

Get something in that body to sustain your energy level and prevent cramping.
