No Waves? Still Ride: What to Do When the Ocean’s Flat (In VeraFlex Boardshorts)

Tucker Demsey bummed on the beach, surfboard in hand and skateboard, wondering what to do with his day.

NO Swell. NO Sets. Just a Glassy Ocean that’s doing absolutely nothing. NOT Stoked.

But, that doesn’t mean your day’s cooked. If you live for surf, skate, and anything that hits like a rush, flat days are just cross-training days. And yeah! Your VeraFlex Boardshorts still belong in the rotation.

First: Don’t Waste the Flat Day

Flat days are where you build the stuff that makes you better when the waves come back:

·      Stronger legs

·      Better balance

·      More speed

·      Cleaner style

·      More time outside

Note: You’re already near the beach and likely have access to a park/gym.

Five Things To-do When It's Flat

Skateboarding while you wait to see if the swell changes. Wearing VeraFlex boardshorts, is perfect for landing tricks with their flexible design.
