I'm not a great fan of training rather I like to spend as much time on the water as possible, but some injuries from time to time and time out of the water had me prepare some light training, I like to walk for around an hour encompassing steep hills whilst also doing small weights in each hand, different movements and stretching etc, also after a recent back injury I found swimming laps and using the spa sauna steam room then laps again, repeat again, is quite therapeutic although I need three showers to rid my body of chlorine afterwards, you cant beat salt water IMHO.
As a side note I find riding my mountain bike leaves me quite sore and doesn't particularly help my SUPing when I do it the next day, BTW why do expensive bikes have such uncomfortable seats? I think it uses much different muscle groups or something as it just doesn't fit for me.
I have seen lifting heavy objects underwater looks like good exercise, Laird has videos on this, unfortunately I don't have access to a pool where the owner dosnt mind having large heavy objects on the pool bottom.
Another thing id like to do but for a lack of two suitable trees at home is slack lining.
And in the manner that they are used in your sport. I.E no point in doing bench press if your sport involves pulling motions like sup. If i was a sup athlete id be doing lots of cable stuff , sup ergo stuff.If your after all round fitness then cross fit will be your go , if you want to be a sup racer then your training needs to mimick your sport.Unfortunately this can get very boring doing the same stuff all the time. For example a 100m runner,s training is very diffrent from a 400m athlete although they are both sprints!
