Surf Fitness and Covid times. Firstly, I am going to branch out and share a few things, related to our times, not just fitness. We are in an era that most will find nothing that can compare. There are comparisons with both World Wars, but whilst most did not experience that, it could also be considered disrespectful to compare those times for those who did suffer against … [Read more...]
