On Her Wavelength

In her 10th year as a pro, Hawaiian surfing royalty Coco Ho shares how she’s perfected her stance on training, breathing and body confidence.
How has your training changed after a decade of pro surfing?

My favorite training over the last two years is a jiujitsu workout called Ginastica Natural— “natural gymnastics.” It’s all bodywork, and it’s all about hip mobility and glutes and being more adaptive to falling or landing weird—perfect for surfers.
How do you mentally overcome a hard workout or wave?
