Crosstraining is what Ross has been doing back in San Diego.
"The surf has been pretty small so I've been doing alot of Stand Up Paddle boarding. It's a really good work out that engages your core muscles, legs, arms and mind. It keeps you in to water too because it can be dead flat and you can still have a blast riding 1 foot junk. I highly recommend it." said Ross
