Pool. Lake. Pond.
The best way to replicate what your body experiences while on a surfboard in the water is to literally be on a surfboard in the water.
How do you train surf paddling without the ocean?
Paddle against resistance on your own surfboard. A resistance surf trainer like the 365Waves kit holds your board in place with an adjustable 14-foot resistance band and a twist-down ground anchor, so you can paddle anywhere. Setup takes less than 2 minutes.
Flat spells cost you paddle fitness.
Almost everything in surfing starts with paddling, and it is the first thing to fade when you are out of the water.
"You only ride waves for a tiny slice of every session. The rest is paddling, sitting and fighting back out. This trains that part."
Derek Zoch, founder of 365Waves
Studies that timed competitive surf heats found surfers rode waves for about 4% to 8% of the time and paddled for about half of it (Mendez-Villanueva et al., 2006; Farley et al., 2012).

What verified buyers say
68 years old, been surfing nonstop for over 55 years ... I'm short boarding again and now happily catching waves I'd been missing.
Very easy to use and set-up. Use it with all of your boards! ... This has been a great tool to keep the stoke up during the recent lack of waves.
15 minutes of paddling emom style all out! It works and I'm going to be ready for Hurricane season this year in NJ!

For surfers who can't surf every day
Flat-spell surfers
Keep paddling between swells.
Inland surfers
Train before the surf trip, no ocean needed nearby.
Getting back in
Start with the band set easy and build up.
Every level
Beginners to lifers set the band to their own strength.
The honest fine print
- It trains your paddle. It does not replace time in the waves.
- Bring your own board and water deep enough to float it. Anchor into the ground beside it, or loop the band around a fence post, railing or starting block outside the pool. Unsure about your spot? Ask Derek first.
- Injury or health condition? Check with a doctor before any new workout.
The changing mat that turns into a dry bag
Change on the 30-inch waterproof mat, pull the drawstrings, and it cinches into a dry bag with your wet, sandy gear inside. Your car stays clean.

Questions surfers ask first
How long does setup take?
Less than 2 minutes. Twist the ground anchor down, clip the band on, attach the Velcro strap to your surfboard leash string, slide the adjustable clip to set your distance and resistance, and start paddling. The full 7 steps are on the product page.
What comes in the kit?
An adjustable 14-foot resistance band, a Velcro strap, a gunmetal stainless steel carabiner with swivel, an adjustable surf clip, a twist-down ground anchor and tool, and a vented travel bag.
Does it fit any surfboard?
Yes. The Velcro strap attaches to any surfboard leash string, then doubles as a storage strap when you roll the band up. You train on your own board; a surfboard is not included in the kit.
How long is the resistance band, and how do I change the resistance?
The band is 14 feet long. Slide the adjustable surf clip up or down the band to set your distance and resistance, so you can match it to your paddle strength and the water you are training in.
How do I train surf paddling at home?
Paddle against resistance on your own surfboard. The Resistance Surf Trainer Kit holds your board in place with an adjustable 14-foot resistance band and a twist-down ground anchor, so you can paddle anywhere. Setup takes less than 2 minutes, and you slide the adjustable surf clip to match the resistance to your paddle strength.
How does the changing mat turn into a dry bag?
Stand on the mat to change, then pull the double drawstrings. The quick-release cinch pulls the mat tight into a full waterproof dry bag, with your wet, sandy gear inside.
