The waves are perfect. But you barely make it out the back. 

You miss each wave that comes to you. 1 hour later - your arms are done.

Fighting Fatigue

You start out strong, but you wear out early. You are forced to sit idle on your board to recover watching the best waves roll by instead of catching them.

Wasting Half of a Trip

You spend thousands on a dream surf trip, only to waste most of it getting back into paddle shape.

The Inconsistency Trap

You lose your "paddle power" during breaks between sessions, and getting back into shape takes more time than you have.

The Training Gap

Resistance bands and pullups simply don't replicate the highly specific biomechanics of the surf paddle stroke.

FAQ

How do these compare to elastic bands


Elastic bands don't properly simulate the paddle stroke give you enough resistance during the catch and pull phases of the stroke, too much resistance during the exit phase, and will jerk your arm forward so you can't properly train the all important recovery phase. The resistance also isn't adjustable, and they will train bad technique.

The Basis trainer solves all of these problems.

What kind of exercises can you do with Basis?


Besides paddling, the types of exercises that are possible are limited only by your imagination, but here is a list of some important ones: lat pulldown, chest pulldown, chest press, shoulder press, shoulder front raise, shoulder side raise, bicep curl, tricep pushdown, squat, and deadlift.

How do these compare to elastic bands?

Elastic bands don't properly simulate the paddle stroke give you enough resistance during the catch and pull phases of the stroke, too much resistance during the exit phase, and will jerk your arm forward so you can't properly train the all important recovery phase. The resistance also isn't adjustable, and they will train bad technique.

 

The Basis trainer solves all of these problems.

Why is training the recovery stroke so important?

The recovery stroke is crucial because it utilizes tiny rotator cuff muscles and is the part of the stroke that fatigues surfers arms the most. Not training it means that you won't be able to paddle for long durations. The Basis trainer is the only compact trainer that allows you to do that.

 

The recovery stroke returns your hand from the end of the stroke back to the beginning of the stroke and heavily taxes your rear deltoids, rotator cuffs, and traps. These muscles are amongst the first to fatigue during a long paddle session because they are small and not heavily utilized. That burning in your shoulders during long sessions is actually because of the recovery stroke.

Is it one arm resisting the other? What creates the resistance?

No, the Basis trainer applies resistance to the rope as it passes back and forth through the unit.

Will it damage my door? Can I use it with any door?

No, it will not damage your door - the anchor is soft non-marking rubber. Works with any door and installs in seconds.

Can I use it without a door?

You can tie the rope anchor to anything like a pole, tree, or fence.

What does concentric mean?

The Basis trainer is concentric-only so it provides resistance during the catch/pull/push/exit phases of the stroke, but no resistance during the recovery stroke to allow you to return your arm back to its starting position without jerking it forward.

What kind of exercises can you do with the Basis?

Besides paddling, the types of exercises that are possible are limited only by your imagination, but here is a list of some important ones: lat pulldown, chest pulldown, chest press, shoulder press, shoulder front raise, shoulder side raise, bicep curl, tricep pushdown, squat, and deadlift.

Is the unit durable? Is the rope replaceable?

The Basis trainer is very durable and will last you many years. The rope should also last several years, but you can easily replace it.

Do you need to use a bench? I don't have space.

No, you can use it simply use it with a bozu ball, standing up, kneeling on a pillow, and laying down.

Can the trainer be brought as carry-on luggage?

Some airports — particularly in the U.S. — can be stricter and may require you to check it, while others are more lenient.

We recommend arriving early just in case you need to check it unexpectedly.

What does the $299 price include?

The $299 covers the Paddle Trainer System. As a complimentary bonus, you’ll also receive 3 months of free access to our community and courses.

How does the community and course access work?

The first 3 months are completely free.  After that, you can continue access for $20/month billed monthly. You will not be automatically charged. 

What kind of support is included in the community?

Inside the community, you’ll have access to:

  • Courses on paddle technique, paddle training, and shoulder pain
  • Weekly Q&A calls on paddling and all things surfing
  • Surf technique Q&A calls with guest surf coaches from the podcast
  • Q&A calls with guest physical therapists to help you with any pain or mobility issues

Are the courses and community helpful if I’m already an experienced surfer?

Yes! Many lifelong surfers—including former competitive swimmers and Ironman athletes—initially thought they didn’t need the community. But they experienced major breakthroughs in paddling technique, power, and efficiency after joining.

What happens after the free 3 months?

If you find value in the coaching and resources, you can continue access for $20 a month. You will not be automatically charged.
