There is a reason that surfers down at Manhattan Beach look so fit and trim.

Surfing is a great way to exercise; it builds balance and core strength, burns calories and enhances overall body strength.  But how can you take advantage of this great work without the water, sand, wetsuits, sunburn and sharks?  Try stationary surfing.

Stationary surfing is one of the latest trends in workouts and Sandbox Fitness located on Ventura Boulevard Sherman Oaks offers group, private, partner classes and classes for kids.

Ride the rails, catch a wave without the water at Sandbox Fitness – Surf’s Up Dude (sorry, I couldn’t resist).
