Swimming is assumed to be the best exercise for surfing.
It does not count how fit you are without heaps of paddle. It is all about how fast you can paddle into a wave. The time you can spend in the water is also very important.
Good quality paddlers are able to dig their arms once or twice to catch the wave. Others, who are not good, flap there arms around.
