ABOUT SURFSET FITNESS
SURFSET Fitness was born from a desire to bring extreme sports into the fitness world for people with a sense of adventure who love to challenge themselves everyday. Founder Mike Hartwick, a former Pro Hockey player, found that a surf session was much more physically intense and mentally engaging than the standard gym routine. He created the RipSurfer X® and SURFSET® method to deliver the full body benefits of surfing to anyone, anywhere, any time of the year.
